    I understand that how I worded that last point wasn't that great....

    I understand that I did a really poor job in stating my point on this topic

     

    You don't say =^^=

    ..customization, avatars and otherwise, is a BIG part of SL. You can customize pictures, Land, buildings, if you want to you can create your own homes completely from scratch, SL is built ENTIRELY by its users, that's one of the main attractions of second life. in SL you can be who you want to be without really any limits as long as it follows the ToS. I know there are people in SL who don't care about how you look and while this is okay, I'm not saying it isn't, you can't deny that how you look plays a significant role on this platform

     

    And redeemed too :) Especially realising the bit that "how you look plays a significant role on this platform" is not the case for all of us (well not all the time, I should add). Do NOT visit when I am up on my build space is all I am saying.... last one who did is still having nightmares, poor thing.

    The touch_start event becomes unresponsive after a while

    in LSL Scripting

    Posted · Edited by mikka Luik
    Forgot what Qie said

    Thought it was just me. I have been using touch_end for as long as I remember (probably since I first used _start to reset the llGetAndResetTime counter for user control. I expect to be told I am doing that wrong too. So it goes) Now habitually change it. Had a vague idea about 'debounce' judging by some of my comments in dusty vehicle scripts but that was probably caused by brain fog. Or dealing with controls in general. Never come across unresponsive as a reason though.

    Don't do best practices as its a middle management thingy. Best ignored has been my experience there (with no apologies to mm everywhere).

    (Qie is right, forgot the state change thing. Brain fog again)

       I'd love to be able to create a very small parcel on my land wherein no one can run scripts, including myself. Then llDie() items and timed demos would be just like regular items and demos.

    Easy enough if you own your own land, just cut out a wee square - I have one myself for some of my riskier testing (fireworks, before you ask - honest). If not possible there are some no script sandboxes (I think the vortex one on Zindra is but have not been back in a while).

    Agree with Qie about how many actually log into world as opposed to being some sort of auto account generation.

    305 in a one hour stretch
    At around 4 am west coast time...

    Spend any time at a welcome place to watch how many 'new´avs actually appear. I don't know all the possible (what do the kidz call it) 'spawn' points but seeing actual records from them would be nice.

    I have seen that vid before and more like it. Usual youtube rubbish =^^=

    As for the not-a-game ongoing debate, after all this time I just glaze over when it comes up. Performance? Well never stopped me nor the supposed complexity. I am not a gamer so have no idea how it relates. Maybe it is either drop in pow pow or extreme hand holding.

    As for numbers, it seems we can get negative signups too :)

    It is not a good idea for the average home user to disable Windows updates unless they really know what they are doing.  For Windows 10, it is an extremely complicated process.

    Average home user here cured all Win 10 problems with one fell swoop. Went back to 7 for win. And I liked 10.

    MTtP also had a few issues with official viewer, cured as I let it update at will. There again, sing mostly and official for UL mostly. YKMV.

    It is time for Linden Labs to put in two factor authentication

    I honestly think having to crowd-fund or otherwise pay for basic automated account security features is unjustifiable. Even a basic SMS-based 2FA system is "install in a day" level stuff. Sure, LL are going to want to do far more testing than that, it's not literally going to take them a single day - but this is still not a massive drain on their resources. This is stuff that one of my volunteer-run gaming communities got sorted over a single weekend, by two guys.

    But yeah I'm happy for it to be opt-in, that doesn't reduce the safety of my account (or credit card).

    Thank you for that, As a paying resident it is very assuring that something I have no need of will not divert resources. I am also assured that it will take a single day (well with caveats as you say so - day and a semi? =^^= ) to implement.  And reall - 2 guys over a weekend?  I would hire to fire in a New York Second

     

    I remain, respectfully, stupid. Thank you for that (mea culpa - ret Sys Ad)

    people are stupid. And their stupidity is no reason to stop the rest of us from buying locks, and in most cases a bolt too

    Thank you for that snippet. Will keep it in mind.

    My only objections have been on making this compulsory (alluded to various times including for the 'merchant class' howsoever defined).

    If the Lab have sufficient resources to implement this as a voluntary option - fine. Focus on 'voluntary'.

    Just to hammer point home - voluntary. May be those who want could crowd fund it =^^=

    Why is there so much high-poly mesh in SL?

    If that takes you days, you may want to reconsider your workflow. Making the perfect LoD models might take hours, but not days. Making something better than what the uploader can manage, should only take minutes. Even the straight output from one of Blender's two simplification tools (and I'm sure 3DS Max and Mya have similar tools) will do. Not as good as manual models but certainly better than the uploader.

    Thus the religion of Chin. All thou who bow .. I am a simple old school maker of *****. I mesh a bit. I script. My mesh n script has been as low impact for ever. As have my sculpts. And I sell elsewhere. Small congregation?
