    I just realized that halloween and Dia de los Muertos overlap.  I personally dont celebrate either since they are not a thing where I live, but if I had to choose, Id rather celebrate Dia de los muertos.

    Both basically come from the same traditions Halloween being the Evening of all Saints the day you pray for the souls of the saints. Both of these days were inspired by the Gaelic festivle of Samhain.  Dia de los Muertos is the day after all Souls day  a day in catholic tradition that the faithful are supposed to pray that the souls of the People who died in the past year leave Purgatory. Dia de los Muertos is a mixture of the two with a little African diaspora and a whole lot of Aztec thrown in. 

    a Combination of Gaelic, Christian, African and Aztec  it truly is one of  the few real "world holidays"

  3. Flying in SL is a long hobby of mine best way to get into it is by getting a plane and flying you can get a awesome free MD500 at Hollywood airport this LM should take you to right to the vender for it

    as far as airports and gacha locations (places that will end your flight due to unfriendly Orbs etc. there is a comprehensive map here

    My advice is just stay over Linden owned waterways and your golden some areas like the Blake Sea / United sailing sims request you fly 100 meters above water generally i fly at 300 meters to not annoy people on the ground. there is nothing worse than being buzzed by a low flying airplane

  4. Look at the picture below the scary fact that it was not made by a Human.

    But it shows more understanding of Beauty ans aesthetics than "Dunchamp's Urinal" which was lauded on art websites of having changed art in a positive way

    Questions i have is Do you thing that AI will effect Art in a positive way by returning Beauty? and how long before we see technologies Like Stable Diffusion being used creating items in Secondlife?

    Was watching a video on the history of OpenGL yesterday and started to become frightened (based on how old OpenGL is)!  At least they didn't use DirectX.

    I second your vote for "updating it".

    open gl is long in the tooth and the standard is all but replaced now by Vulcan dome graphics card makers are even phasing out OpenGL support

  7. On a similar vain i think much of this is related to people not being able to separate their RP from there Real life Just because someone is rejecting your Anthro / Child avi ect. does not mean they are rejecting you as  a person. People have this problem in RL if someone says something bad about something another part is "in too" ie Star wars they take it as a personal insult upon themself,

     

    The saddest example of this lack of ability to separate RP from RL is currently going on in the Wild West sims they currently have a Story going on involving the Suffrage movement and People acting in character who are taking the extremely Realistic and Historically accurate stance of the time are being verbally attacked OOC and being call all sorts of "ist" and "phobia" things for playing there role.

    Peeve: Heard on news this morning that Nichelle Nichols died (didn't know that's why people posted about her).  Is the entire TOS cast cursed? We know Patrick Stewart will live forever, but he's not TOS cast.

    Given that the series was made in the 60's I would say yes they are cursed with the same Curse of Mortality and Age we all will have to contend with at some point.

    It's silencing that leads to totalitarianism, btw, not utopian thinking.

    Every totalitarian Regime in human history has gotten in power by promising utopia, the silencing came later after the people figured out they were sold a bill of goods.  If you want to debate this in private feel free to IM i have not been able to use my History Qualifications seance i retired from teaching. 

     

    Ultimately SL is a private platform like Twitter and they can host what they want .
