Linden Lab Official:Clarification of policy disallowing *****

When I saw the article and screenshots of child avatars alongside pictures of the viewer's Inventory window's "Worn" tag that purported to show what attachments the child avatar is wearing, I thought to myself, "Well, either someone's using a viewer I've never heard of to do something I wasn't aware was possible -- take screenshots showing the HUDs someone else is wearing -- or they're demonstrating something absolutely bloody obvious, which is that anyone can buy a body, skin and clothes for any sort of avatar they like, including a child avatar, buy some HUDs and wear them, and take a picture of their nice new avatar and their own inventory window." You do not, I suggest, need to be William of Occam to work out my conclusions.

I don't see it, Cris. The script sends a request to the simulator, "please tell me the keys of all the public attachments worn by this avatar" and the simulator sends a list back to the script, which then processes the response. How does the viewer enter into it?

Nope. That HUD will use llGetAttachedList.

I took it as meaning that they have not yet completed their investigations but they've already established that some of the allegations are unfounded.

Unless I was extremely sure of my facts and evidence, I would be very hesitant indeed about repeating highly defamatory statements about people.

Perhaps they wanted to wait until they had concluded their initial inquiries, at least, so they had some idea whether there was any truth in the allegations, or at least the most serious ones, before they issued any official response.

I think we can be confident that LL will be thoroughly investigating and addressing all the allegations for the simple reason that the next time someone's employment with the Lab ends on less than amicable terms and the matter ends up in court, it would be catastrophic for LL not have a very good answer to the question "All these allegations were made in early 2024. What did you then do about them?" That's all I have to say on the matter.

Generally I use debugSay(string what){ llRegionSay(iDebugChannel, what); } integer iDebugChannel //an integer from the list of random large negative integers generated by ChatGPT that I keep in notepad and wear an attachment listening on the appropriate channel when I want to hear what the script is telling me. But however it's done, finding out what's actually happening vs what I think is happening is generally the first step towards fixing mysterious problems like this. Most of the time it's something minor, but nothing like what it would be.

When something's not working as I expect, I start debugging it by sticking in llOwnerSay()s at every point of interest, just to make sure what's actually happening rather than what I think is happening. So I'd start with somethink like this, so you can find out where things are going wrong.

You can read Linden Lab Official:Intellectual Property in the Wiki. which outlines the procedure for submitting complaints about intellectual property infringements. The short version is that LL respond only to complaints from the copyright holder or their agents -- you don't know, after all, what licences, if any, the owner of the IP in question may have granted to either the person using their material or, more to the point, to the person uploading the material on YouTube, and neither do LL until the owner or their agent complain about the materials in question. If you look at YouTube's policy on removing copyright material you'll see it's very similar: So I'd suggest, if you're concerned, that you contact the movie studios in question and bring the matter to their attention.

That's the Log out now!!! one, isn't it?

Thanks. But I meant that, since LL aren't going to remove the DATA_BORN flag and break lots of existing scripted content, I don't see the point of removing birth dates from profiles, since the date will still be visible, with the aid of a simple script, to anyone who's interested.

While it would be simple enough to tweak the viewer UI and web profiles to hide avatars' start dates, it would not be possible to hide the information from scripts by removing the flag DATA_BORN from llRequestAgentData without breaking a whole load of content that tests for account age (freebie vendors restricted to new residents, for example, or security orbs that deny entry to day-old accounts). LL don't like breaking existing content, particularly when it's something that's widely used. If LL did hide birthdates on people's profiles without disabling the DATA_BORN flag, people would readily be able to check account birth dates by using a very simple script. What's the point?

Viale left years ago. The Zindra Help Vortex was a trainwreck that's long been defunct, AFIAK. I guess someone at LL should wind up the group, reclaim the land and return the group-owned objects, but I can understand why it's not that high on anyone's priorities.

I don't say it could never happen but I view it as something so unlikely as not to be worth worrying about until there's some indication it might. But such a discussion, as we have just been reminded, is off topic for this thread, which is the likely results of Amazon banning adult content on its servers, not all governments everywhere deciding to ban porn online.

The whole topic is an interesting hypothetical, but so would be "What would people do if social media companies banned all posts that aren't correctly spelled and punctuated?" Neither is going to happen, so what's the point?

So if I'm flying at 75 or 100 metres above the ground, are you saying that I won't know whether or not I'm allowed to fly over the parcel unless a security orb tells me to go away (or kicks me out)?

I have a question. According to the wiki, If you're flying, and encounter a parcel that's not set to public access, at what altitude do the ban lines cease to be visible? Or is that determned by your draw distance?

You can increase the maximum length of body to receive in the http_response event by setting, in the llHTTPRequest call, HTTP_BODY_MAXLENGTH,16384

You may have missed Henri's post earlier in the thread

I know it's very easy, or said to be, to create PBR materials with Substance Painter, but are there any tutorials about how to it with free tools like Gimp and/or Blender that you can recommend?

I want to post data to a google sheet and later retrieve it using shared media. To access the data and read it, I'm going to need to set up credentials for my inworld app. ChatGPT provides the following advice: I've got as far as the third step of Step 4: Create Credentials. My LSL will be calling llRequestURL. What URI should I enter, given that (I assume) it needs to be persistent?
