Everybody needs some good mood sometimes!

Why is a company pulling out of a market even supposed to be this ominous threat? If it finds itself unable to continue doing business in a place, by all means, pull out. Companies are under a constant push and pull of various large interest groups and they've got a choice to either adhere or get the hell out. Sometimes I as a person may agree with the results and sometimes I may disagree and just like the companies have got a choice to pull out, so do I. For example, I agree with the EU on forcing the Apple charger change while I disagree with Disney or game companies removing and changing their products to appease a certain market. One way or another, it's a constant flow of ideas and limitations. Now then if LindenLab finds itself unable to operate within the confines of the EU by virtue of their gacha policy - by all means, they're welcome to try their luck. Roll the dice, bunny. Do it. If that resulted in me being geolocked out of my account along with hundreds of others - then that'd be the way the dice has fallen. But the gacha policy change wasn't really about the gacha itself but rather a small but decisive component of it. It does seem like LindenLab so far is still chosing to die on the hill of needing the psychological exploitation of vulnerable people to continue existing, aka gacha. It can still do that because the laws surrounding that have only just started waking up. It'll probably be a decade or two before gachas get smacked with severe restrictions. There are much older laws in place though, scarier laws with established teeth and those are the gambling laws. The ability to have an actual monetary payout in the form of resells, gained through random obfuscated chance percentages, probably did push it much much closer towards where lawyers started to pipe up and rub their hands. Thus the cashout aspect was banned. Gachas are hella addictive to a company's bottom line. P.S.: I'm going to head in world to check some sales and maybe take a photo. You're obviously free to double check since that is apparently somehow important or something.

@steeljane42 has already given the correct answer. Just to add, the chat commands are: /1meshbody toenails on /1meshbody toenails off And since the issue also happens on hands: /1meshbody fingernails on /1meshbody fingernails off But yah - getting the latest update should fix it and in the meantime, chat commands bring it back.

Hi. Nina from the future here. Not quite right but I'm not smart enough to explain it well. The AI upscale to my knowledge doesn't look at the picture and guesses averages. It's more that it has seen several million image pairs of blurry and high res pictures. It has thus learned that a blurry section scaled up will most likely look a certain way. It then looks at your image in an abstract way and will try to apply what it has been learned on as close as it possibly can.

We trained a new LORA of my character - this time on the FLUX.dev model. It's much better at anatomy and prompt adherence but needs more post edits when it comes to details and coloring. Below image is an example that was made from a flux base image that was then pushed through a pony2dn checkpoint (via IMG2IMG at 0.35 denoise), blended in photoshop, taking the best of both worlds and finally edited in Luminar for a bit more colour pop.

Note to self: Next time specify what kind of cat. Apparently "cat" also includes a fricking puma.

Aye - always. I've got a pretty sarcastic streak sometimes - it's how I like to write and express myself. In an effort to not hurt others, I aim it at myself. More or less translated: I'm often only looking on from the sidelines, too uncomfortable to get inbetween people fighting here.

Are the forums a place for debates? No. They're a place for a debate. Singular. A soapy Telenovela with lengthy story arcs, where everyone is pretty on the outside but half of them constantly get away with figurative murder. There are some good people, some crowd favorites, reccuring villains and a lot of extras that show up occasionally. Like in any community, really ANY community, a certain Habitus is expected and enforced. Often in quite ruthless ways. That's not exclusive to forums, something like reddit is arguably even worse. Personally, I do enjoy the occasional dialogue but so often here, there's nothing I can feasibly contribute. What could I possibly add to what's most likely a petty feud that's been ongoing for the better part of ten years or more? The topic might be this or that but it's the same people retreading the same punches, trying their hardest to finally, finally get under someone's skin and inflict some hurt. Sincerely, that artsy self obsessed, narcissistic extra chick that snows into the show here and there but is often too scared to get into a topic. How could I when the lines in the sand are deep enough to qualify as a trench. Not military ones, I'm talking the mariana trench.

*swipe* A horror themed cabin. Spooky. *swipe* Some PBR ready EEP. *swipe* Totally not a copyright infringement. *swipe* Oh a colorful witch hat! *swipe* A spell wand, that's neat. *swipe* Mutilated corpses, torn off limbs, disfigured torsos, gore and blood. *pause* Okay I think I've had enough window browsing for today.

For me that happens constantly. I've been posting a few peeves about how most shopping sims are now empty stalls for me. The other issue I occasionally have is that clothes seemingly become phantom detached during teleport where they will show as attached on my end but people point out it's missing on their end. That one is a nightmare because I can't even double check that on my end until people point it out. So until LL gets around to fixing it, I'll have to make sure I am wearing BOM clothes underneath.

Can anyone actually bring receipts for this actually happening? IM if needed. Because all I see push back on is the gloating about said reporting, not the reporting itself.

*snickers* Looks like someone trusted machine translations a bit too much. Speichern is what you do when you save a document. "Sparen Sie" or the informal "Spare" would be the word to use when you save money. Also: Translated: You must NOT have used your 1024 m² Premium. Versus: Translated: You MUST have used your 1024 m² already. Seems like the premium signup thing is a bit of a mess, aye? Also the constant switching between the informal "Sie" versus the formal "Du" is a bit odd. Not a big deal but this IS the pet peeve thread and conflicting contract stuff is a bit peeving.

Just on my morning walk, haven't really checked all the threads yet and so I obviously lack the context for this. I've got a question though. Wasn't reporting semi anonymous? Meaning only moderators and up would see who sent it? Follow up question. Assuming anonymity in the reports, how would people ever even know who to witch hunt for their reports? Maybe I'm a dum dum but I always thought the procedure was to report and move on. No gloating, no needing to get the last word in before cleanup. Just report and bounce.

For me it was probably stumbling over a certain no longer active gossip site dedicated to SL. I mean obviously cliques and groups are normal and trust has to be earned and all that. However realising there was a dedicated group of creepy, petty and vicious jackasses coming together each week to abuse and sometimes harass people, often going as far as to celebrate self harm caused by their actions - yah that wasn't a fun reality check. I mean duh, obviously, it was the Internet so those people would be here too. Still the casual regarity with which they came together had a particularly unsettling and vile vibe to it.
