  1. I had a goal to keep my inventory under 20,000 items. Then it changed to 30,000. Then 40,000 followed by 50,000 followed now by "I give up." The one saving factor is I have managed to keep my inventory well organized.
  2. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask this question in the Scripting sub forum. https://community.secondlife.com/forums/forum/304-lsl-scripting/
  3. Tripp, no. Would be nice but has never been possible.
  4. I can't speak about other viewers though I imagine they would have the same function. In Firestorm you would right click > share and then a name picker opens and you can select multiple Avatars. Now I had heard there was a limit of twenty you can share with at once but according to https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Limits "Maximum number of accounts that an inventory item can be shared with at once: The limit is unknown, but tests show that it is more than 35. No documentation has been found. One third-party viewer developer says that the code doesn't seem to look for a limit. It just builds the list and sends it to each avatar individually"
  5. Perhaps the only side project that Linden Lab developed that actually succeeded. https://modemworld.me/2023/12/06/is-blocksworld-a-former-linden-lab-property-about-to-make-a-comeback/
  6. Exactly what files are you wanting to move? Outside of chat files if you save those and custom auto complete if you use that and possibly teleport history there would be nothing else you'd need to move.** I would be skeptical about moving custom graphics settings to a completely different machine. Those I would build from scratch considering that PBR just went live. You can not move saved credentials. That is a security feature. Credentials are tied to the machine they are created on. **Others can way in if there are any other files that are only saved locally that I am not thinking of at the moment.
  7. It is nice seeing the images some of you have been sharing.
  8. When I first started Second Life one of my favorite locations was a collection of four Regions. I do not recall the name of all four but one of them was called Secret Reflections, another called Midnight Reflections. And one of my favorite things to do was sitting on a hill there with a friend and the Sunrise while we chatted. At that time the sky was a pretty simple thing. The full SL day/night cycle was about four hours. There is even a function llGetSunDirection. People would use it for turning street and other lights automatically on and off as day moved to night and night moved to day. On an individual basis you could change the time of day you were seeing but the clock still kept ticking forward from the point that you set it. Then came Windlight and it revolutionized lighting in Second Life. You could create custom skies and many people did create some awesome sky settings. But it did not eliminate the day/night cycle. You could still watch the Sunrise or the Sunset if you desired. And then came the Environmental Enhancement Project, aka EEP. And it opened up even more possibilities. Want two moons or two Suns in your sky and you could do it, as well as other special effects. But the one thing that I have not seen since EEP went live is a Sunrise or Sunset. Every sky setting is static as far as the time of day goes. No transition from day to night or from night to day. I've read the Wiki and supposedly you can create a day cycle but the instructions are making no sense to me. And while I have not done a really deep dive on the MP, I have not found an EEP for sale so I could again watch the Sun rise or set. So when was the last time you watched the Sunrise or Sunset in Second Life?
  9. It will partly depend on how much free time I have but as a general rule I don't hesitate to report an item for key word spam. I would love to know what happens when we flag an item. Do the Lindens have the time to review flagged items? Or is this effort just getting sucked into the black hole of futility? I would love it if a Linden would weigh in on what happens after we flag an item.
  10. And not just camping and sploders. There were the 'best dressed' and similar contests at clubs.
  11. When I started (2007) there were places that offered "free" apartments. They were minimally furnished and any one could use on a first come basis when you'd log in. It was quite a surprise to me when I started getting "paid" for being there. I knew nothing about camping or traffic at that time.
  12. So far all the accounts I have seen promulgating this have only been one or two days old. What saddens me is seeing one still active after 24 hours. Is Governance understaffed? I do get that a lot of their time is wasted having to sift through unactionable AR's but in my mind twenty four hours is too long.
  13. One thing you have to be careful with about Mainland is to not conflate "abandoned" with "undeveloped." A lot of Mainland looks empty because people are building in the sky and not on the ground. When I lived on mainland I did plant some vegetation on the ground but lived up in the sky at about 1,000 meters. Not all the sky dwellers do that. Tyche Shepherd's Grid Survey (if the numbers are still valid) puts abandoned Mainland at ~20%.
  14. I've read those old baloney forums discussing Dullahan and it was so obvious from reading that they had never actually looked at it. And Dullahan comes from LL. It is in the Official SL Viewer. It is the media handler for Second Life. And I am not aware of any Third Party Viewer that does not use it.
  15. Inara Pey has an excellent write up on this scam: https://modemworld.me/2023/11/06/dissecting-the-free-l-viewer-scam-chaser-zaks/
  16. Thank you for clarifying this. As I had said I did not know how this worked.
  17. I wonder how you would feel if day after day, 20, 30, 40, 50 times while logged in for a couple of hours you saw the message "Chief Idiot has payed you One Linden Dollar." Insane sounding but I knew someone who was harassed like this. Tell me that it wouldn't get old.
  18. No where in the quoted policy is "Privacy" mentioned. That comes under the heading of "Remote Monitoring." Privacy is covered in the next section of that policy statement. To be clear it is not "Builders Brewery" that is using Discord integration. There are some members of the group who are using it. And I will give them this. I don't know what is involved in making the integration work but the posts always state "Via Discord."
  19. Linden Lab know that a great deal of minor content theft is also occurring and yet they do nothing. Content theft is definitely against LL ToS so their inaction on any given matter is no guide to its correctness with regard to the LL ToS. Passive complicity does NOT indicate compliance. I have a suspicion you may not like my reply. Intellectual property theft is rampant across the entire Internet. It is not limited to just Second Life. To police this has sadly become an insurmountable task. At the inception of the Digital Millennial Copyright Act there were some attorneys who counseled companies to not be proactive, that it could actually put their Safe Harbor status at risk.** And even if it did not put their status at risk exactly how is LL supposed to go about policing content. How are they to know who may or may not have a license to use certain content? How are they supposed to go about vetting content? There must be a million textures in use in SL. I have some sounds I use in SL that I personally recorded in RL. How do I go about proving that those sounds belong to me? I understand how maddening this can be for content creators. But unless a creator files a claim LL's hands are pretty well tied. **I apologize for not documenting this. Years ago I had a hard drive go belly up on me and I lost all the book marks that I had on this subject.
  20. There was someone last night who raised a stink about the Second Life to Discord chat connection in the Builders Brewery group chat. They maintained that is was a violation of Linden Lab's privacy policies: "Remotely monitoring inworld conversations (text or voice chat) without the knowledge or consent of all parties involved is a violation of the Terms of Service. If you feel recording a conversation is necessary, post a clearly-visible sign in the recording location so that all Residents who enter can see it" https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Residents'_privacy_rights#Remote_Monitoring The only justification any one could offer was, "Linden Lab knows that this is going on and hasn't done anything about it." For all intents and purposes it does appear to be a violation to me. We may need Linden Lab to clarify this for us.
  21. The two things I find that help me the most with inventory management are: 1. As much as possible "do it now." The moment I see an unpacker script I zap it. Landmarks that come with the purchase get zapped on the spot also. If I don't have the time to deal with a purchase at the moment I have a "needs unpacking" folder. 2. It took me a little while to change habits but I no longer drag anything around. Cut and paste is so much more efficient. And much less prone to accidents.
  22. Linden Lab will never make the Camera Floater resizable in the Official Viewer.
