Tormentor! Where do I sign up? Mentor? Ohhh. Nevermind. My only experience was having a mentor tell me that older players are not allowed in the new player area because I initially picked the brand new punk girl avatar offered at startup. I had to instruct the mentor about it. But, I think a new round of mentors is a good idea. LL will have learned from it's past mistakes and will no doubt create a winning formula for mentorship. We all know how complicated SL is and LL finally creating something to address that is what we need... or they need... the newbies.

It would be like Second Life's 'Show Look At'. Where is that crosshair pointed at?

One other thing I found funny was that they specifically mention eye tracking data is not sent to Apple or third parties. This Vision Pro has really good eye tracking and if you are looking at people through this it would know what part of that person you are constantly looking at. From the Apple website: Where a user looks stays private while navigating Apple Vision Pro, and eye tracking information is not shared with Apple, third-party apps, or websites.

That's a steep price for a brand new untested product but Apple customers usually skew to affluent and buy whatever Apple makes. If any company can pull off AR correctly it would be Apple. Hopefully this Vision Pro is like every other line of product where a non-pro version will be released and then further iterations get released regularly.

Purely from a color design point of view I don't really like the whole rainbow and colors in products for Pride Month. It's too much of a happy and carnival style of coloring. What about sophistication and coolness? Muted colors? Maybe after a few more years we'll see the palette mature into a darker and wearable style.

No. I think it means Linden Lab is cooking up a really, really big pot of soup. It will be a significant minestrone.

The Peanut Gallery. House of Nuts. Betta than Meta Forums.

I think LL should develop a 'brand new visitor' sim made by the Moles for extremely fast loading and low lag. It should also be filled with actual residents who will have a dress code and specific training on dealing with new people. This region would be used as a hook to get people interested in SL and make them want to stay. The residents who work in that region would have to be called something...maybe hookers.

I was noodling around this morning reading the news and I think Fed Now is a good thing. Paypal has pretty much become an activist business and using it's monopoly on electronic transactions to remove customers based on political viewpoints. Not good. I mean, I do like Paypal and use it for buying things and sending money but if it can be replaced by an far more regulated government based competitor I wouldn't feel bad.

The thing to realize is that people like to spend their money in different ways. Some people like the subscription model, some like paying one lump sum and some just want to pay as they go. Linden Lab has given us multiple ways to spend our money and it's been successful. Second Life has outlasted many games that have tried to go subscription only but find they did not grow their base of players and then frantically switched over to a free to play model without enough incentives for those free players to spend in the world. They tried and died. Linden Lab can't afford to make that same mistake by fixing what isn't broken. Also, many people have alts that are non-premium so that's another reason why the OP's idea would be in the category of "let's think of ways to fail".

You may want to try installing the software that comes with the mouse. The built in system drivers are good but sometimes the mouse software will make it work a little better and probably give you more options to control the sensitivity. The mouse software also enables the use of any extra buttons the mouse may have. I usually get Logitech trackballs and the buttons work great until you wear them out after a long time.

I was testing how long my profile could be in the Linden viewer and it looks like the limit is about 5,000 characters. (Maybe someone else can verify) I could actually type more than 5k but the profile was truncated after saving. Perhaps some profiles are cut off if people don't check their profile after hitting the save button. It seems the web profile also updates in just a few seconds after I hit save in the viewer.

Not yet. I assume it will be integrated into SL and every other US merchant.

I tried it and it's not that bad. It does what I was talking about in a previous thread about SL needing more games. The casino has a hud UI element that shows your tokens and it changes your camera view to an overhead for blackjack and a three-quarter view for slots. There is even a little animation and sparkly particles when you win at slots. Is it addictive? It doesn't feel addictive but I have never been interested in casino games. If LL could make an 'arcade lounge' with the same elements, maybe even the same tokens, and fill it with arcade cabinets, skee ball, prize cranes, etc. I would totally be there.

I would disagree only because we don't know how far out mobile is in development and I don't see LL creating features in SL in advance for mobile. Perhaps what might happen in this 'casino' from LL is that a resident will offer to be the 'shadow house' and take real lindens from players while also giving out real lindens who might win in the 'casino'. All arranged in private IMs of course. It would require a high level of trust in the 'shadow house' person but people might want that real payout bad enough.

I've seen the effects the internet can do to young people and it's not good. These were kids who had normal attentive parents as well. Is Utah doing the right thing trying to control access to social media for it's children? Yes. Should it infringe on every adult outside of Utah? No. Doesn't SL have a way to check the client's location in order to enforce it's gambling policies? SL could just detect if someone is from Utah and then require age verification. I'm sure it could be bypassed but I don't think this would happen often enough to invalidate SL's verification process.

They will say, "The earth is laggy". Then the aliens leave and that's how Second Life saved humanity from an alien invasion.

I don't think anyone can afford to 'slow down' on AI because someone else is not going to slow down and that other person is going to be generations ahead of anyone who decided to slow down. Pretty sure Russian, China, Iran and anyone else who can afford it will continue to fully explore AI. It's almost like a nuclear arms race.

I don't look at prefabbed rentals but I've seen several landlords who offer to remove the prefab. They mention it in their profiles. These are usually not part of a themed community though so removing the building doesn't change anything. There are pros and cons on both having themed prefabs or open parcels. I think people do appreciate a theme on private parcels but people also want to build their own homes and may have a lot of their own items from a previous rental. If you leave an open parcel for rent you may not like what people build.
