Shop (store) ideas that won't fly
Phil Deakins replied to Raspberry Crystal's topic in General Discussion Forum
Retro prim furniture I mentioned this idea a couple of times and one or two people thought it was a good idea. But it won't fly. It could get a few sales; i.e. it could make the occasional little nudge along the runway, but it would never take off and fly. - not as an inworld store, anyway, and not even in the marketplace. In both locations, it may get an occasional bump along the runway, but that all - imo. I have an inventory full of the prim furniture I used to sell and, if I thought it would actually work as even a slightly profitable business, I'd do it. But it won't. -
New version of Sharpview viewer available
Phil Deakins replied to animats's topic in Second Life Viewer
I suppose there's no chance of you making it run on an ARM processor? -
Speedlight mostly, although it's a client and not really a viewer. When I need to go to places, and when creating, I vary between the official one, Alchemy, and Genesis. I would use Genesis mostly, for sheer speed, but not for scripting (because it doesn't expand menus downwards to fit the text and buttons, and my scripts often need that). For OpenSim, I use Firestorm.

What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening?
Phil Deakins replied to diamond Marchant's topic in General Discussion Forum
I did. It was during last year. I use a Raspberry Pi as my main computer, but I have to use a tower machine for logging into SL with a normal viewer. With Henry's help, I did manage to get a thin client (Radegast) running on the Raspberry Pi but it stopped working the next day, and I couldn't get it back again. The problem with the RPi is that it uses an ARM processor but a 'normal' viewer doesn't exist for that processor. Apparently there was a way to achieve it but Microsoft scuppered it by no longer supporting something that's needed. Henry knows all about it, but I wasn't used to it at all so my memory hasn't retained what it's all about. Speedlight runs in a browser so I can use the RPi fully for it. -

If it helps a bit more, I also use the Alchemy viewer. The SL, Alchemy, and Genesis viewers are my viewers of choice these days, depending on what I want to log in for, but I've used others over the years too. Correction: I should have said 18 years in SL, not 17 years. -

No. It takes them time to incorporate the changes. That's all. I do realise that that's one of your stock offerings, so I won't get into it -

I do, yes. And I also use normal viewers when I want to do more in SL than Speedlight can manage. Right now, for instance, I am logged in with the SL viewer and I have an alt logged in with the Genesis viewer. So I'm not disqualified at all . Also, after 17 years in SL, I think I can qualify anyway In fact, I use various 'normal' viewers, depending on what I want to do. -

So to sum up the recent posts in this thread, TPVs are always significantly behind the times, the LL viewer does everything that most users want or need, and most of the so-called extras that TPVs have are nothing more than breaking out things that the LL viewers always have, making some things that most people neither use nor need easier to find whilst complicating usability. -
why having or beeing an alt is consider bad?
Phil Deakins replied to Gabriel Isodo's topic in General Discussion Forum
You must have been very unlucky. Every year I put up a small decorated Christmas tree that an SL friend sent me from New York (to here in the UK). Even here in the forum, I gave my phone number to a friend without any repercussions at all. It was for a specific purpose which soon became unnecessary, so she didn't use the number at all. -
CasperVend/CasperLet alternatives
Phil Deakins replied to discussionbot's topic in General Discussion Forum
You could bring another discussionbot in, a brother maybe, and discuss it between yourselves -
I was commenting on the post that suggested they wouldn't be found associated with stores. I meant that many store owners would use them as they always did, because that was the very purpose for most bots. Whether or not they are actual bots or legal avatars logged in with thin clients wasn't the point. I do know that stores still use traffic avatars, actual bots or otherwise.

No I don't go shopping Traffic bots are normally hidden, usually high up in the sky, so you wouldn't see them.
