    Meanwhile, after 23 pages of a well or not game, we managed to forget an important thing. Linden Labs is a private owned company with an international reach.

    Now, as an European citizen, I can tell you that the EU is taking slightly an harsh stance against foreign companies which have a marketshare in the EU. One of our laws, our rules, our regulations or be gone. Don't start a moan about it, this mentality is already in place since the start of the EU.

    In the European law, hate speech, racism, discrimination, xenophobia an so on are punishable criminal acts. Reports of such acts towards any social media, which Linden Labs is, must be removed within 48 hours. And make no mistake, the EU is verifying the actions taken by the social media company, each 6 months, reports it and based on these reports, penalties (fines) are been given.

    So, when you think you have your Freedom Of Speech, that Freedom Of Speech is being filled in differently in other countries and might lead to financial troubles for the company of which you are using it as a platform for your ideas.

    Just keep that in mind.

    All said and clear. And i do bet LL will not want to loose their biggest users base, Yes Europeans that are having enough on  their own with Cod virus and dont need the less then a quarter of Americans that are utterly crazy cultists spreading lies around anymore.

    I missed the question (I had a lot going on outside the meeting and was multitasking, sorry).

    I do my best not to predict dates because it doesn't add anything when I'm right, and does a lot of harm when I'm wrong.

    We have one of our most skilled developers devoted to getting map tile generation working again - it's one of those things that hadn't been touched in a long time and needed more work than we expected.

    Tks Oz

    Good. And if you think there shouldn't be a death penalty, tell that to the family of the woman that monster strangled to death and whose body she cut her baby from. 

    We need more death penalty. Some people are monsters and cannot be fixed . They should not linger after being convicted of heinous crimes.  I will admit that my view on this may be biased as I have experienced a homicide in my own family some years ago.  The monster who committed the act did not receive the death penalty and it's really a shame, he should have. 

    Sorry for your loss.

    Still revenge is not justice in my eyes.

    Nothing of the sort. I am claiming the opposite. If the RIGHT CAN BE accused of this, the LEFT SHOULD BE accused of it as well, but only if it is deserved, whereby in this case of trespassing it is.

    You cannot have one person doing the same thing someone else does and not be treated or punished equally for it. In this case trespassing. Forget about the whole left vs right issue. Treat it as 2 normal people people trespassing into a restricted area and only one gets punished for it. It would be an injustice.

    Just because one is right and one is left makes no difference to the issue. The problem comes now however in that there is such division between those two that if they are not treated equally for doing the same act it will harden and draw out that division, cause angst and potentially be disastrous for the USA's reputation and democracy.

    What is really dangerous for American  Democracy is each single second Trump stays in power, period.

    And Iran said the other day that they plan to blow up congress during the inauguration. Are they banning the Iranian president on twitter for making a threat? Are they going about to ensure that all Iranians have their twitter accounts banned just in case they use it to plan the attack?

    No. It is a threat and you deal with the threat as much as you can. Over reacting like the left are doing in mass banning's, removing platforms, threatening to remove the president before his time is up (which is asking for trouble imo) etc is not 'crisis mode' it is 'there goes the chicken without his head mode'.

    Yes; lets nuke Iran before Biden takes the presidency then perhaps trump can remain in power.

    If that is your argument, well no more words needed.

    Yeah, it's probably pretty old, and you may remember that every couple of years it throws a sprocket and vertical bands of the map aren't updated until somebody steps in and re-torques the manifold bolts or something to get it working again. And I don't think the far northeast corner of Zindra has ever appeared at map zoom level 3.

    On the other hand, they've relatively recently updated the code that exposes the region tiles and other map contents, migrating from the (once free) Google Map API to Leaflet.

    We must hope and in meanwhile enjoy SL the best we can:)

    I gather it's pretty high on the priority list, though, based on a general sense I got from @Oz Linden's response when I asked about it at last week's sim user group. I'll try to ask again today, and hope to get more specifics.

    Unless they're doing something weird, this should require no corresponding sim nor viewer updates, so I'd expect it to happen on its own schedule, as if by magic one day.

       i guess the code is to old and nobody in the lab knows how to fix it cause there is nobody left from those times.
