Do residents of Bellisseria really find themselves constantly disturbed by hoards of unwanted visitors wandering onto their parcels? I don't think I've ever had to tell anyone they can or can't enter my parcel on Coin Toss, one of the regions near the Newbrooke community centre. Most of the time, I seem to be the only person on the region.

I'm sorry, Phil, but I just don't get it. If I'm on my parcel on Bellisseria with my security device turned on, and nevertheless someone keeps on trying to enter the parcel, despite being repeatedly thrown out, I can use the parcel tools to teleport them home and add them to the parcel ban list (neither of which, under the covenant, I can have a scripted object do for me). So can any of my friends I've added to the land group and given appropriate rights, I think. If I'm not on the parcel and I leave the device running, it'll keep on bouncing the intruder out of the parcel but, since I'm not there to worry about it, and won't even know about it, how is it a disservice to me that the security gadget can't ban them automatically?

I don't follow (probably because I don't know enough about BoM). As far as I know, the GLTF_* slots are completely separate from any other texture slots. Certainly in my experiments with simple prims, if I apply both GLTF render materials and regular Blinn-Phong ones (ie the non-GLTF textures and materials we currently use) to the same face of an object, my alt, who uses a non-PBR viewer, sees the Blinn-Phong ones, and I see the GLTF materials because I use the PRB viewer. If I apply the PBR materials to an untextured cube, my alt continues to see the base plywood. Changes to one set of material layers (colour/roughness/whatver) seem to have no effect on the other group.

I think we alreday have that, in the form of the new PRIM_RENDER_MATERIAL and the various PRIM_GLTF_* flags for the llSet/GetPrimitiveParams family. See also llSet/GetRenderMaterials (ETA Qie posted while I was writing).

There are two AOs, one for Blake and one for Jamie. Jamie has the female animations. Which one are you looking at? (I've not examined them in any detail, so I don't know if Blake has a hands behind your head pose).

I think this is the first place I'd start to look for the error. On the face of it, it's difficult to see how this could be the problem area, but LSL doesn't always see things in the same way I do, and Occam's Razor suggests that the reason the script is behaving as described is that, for some reason, it can't find agent in lstWhite. Anyway, I would start my debugging by having it chat out something like "Index of "+(string)agent+" in "+llList2CSV(lstWhite)+" is "+(string)llListFindList(lWhite),[(string)agent])); just to be sure that lstWhite contains what you think it does.

Mobile will help keep people engaged with SL, though, I think. I'm remembering when, ten years ago, I had to spend a lot of time in and out of hospital, and I found myself using that Android app that was available at the time (Lumiya?) a great deal. I wasn't doing much exploring or clubbing with it, but I was using it to keep up with friends, or just to distract myself watching group chats, and often making arrangements to meet up and do stuff after I got out of hospital/home from outpatient treatment. So while I can't see myself doing much in SL during a lunch break or while I'm commuting, I certainly see myself logging in, chatting, and making plans to see friends and do stuff on my PC when I get home.

As an antidote, I can strongly recommend Gay, Bejeweled, Nazi Bikers of Gor.

Not sure how breakfast is a pet peeve, but my usual breakfast is a cup of hot chocolate to get me started (an idea I stole from the French) and then, after a shower, a couple of freshly cooked frozen croissants and a couple of cups of freshly ground black coffee.

I'm afraid I've never really understood how to use llGroundNormal or the RC_GET_NORMAL flag in llCastRay. If I want to rez something flush to a sloping surface or to lay flat on some sloping ground, how do I do it, please?

Since Thousand Island Dressing is pinkish, maybe we'll get Barbie dream houses, like the movie

The article to which you link, though, suggests that it's a good deal more complex than simply "Once the employer starts controlling hours of work, volunteers become employees and have to be paid": Linden Lab has access to its own in-house legal advisors and to external counsel. Presumably they're aware of Hallissey et al v. America Online, Inc, too, and have taken care to ensure LL isn't lining itself up for a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Possibly there were. I had in mind the one to which I'd just responded, for obvious reasons, but it may well be that there are several different stories floating around -- without any details it's difficult to keep them all straight!

In other words, it confirms people's prejudices, based on what has happened in the past, with different programmes.

We are told, So at least one Mentor was using IMs, and we're not told how the other one was communicating. Nowhere is it said that any of this happened in open chat, though. It may have done, but we're not told that.

No, it's a simple request for context. All we have is a second-hand account of an incident which the person retelling the anecdote repeats without any detail whatsoever, and because it's so absolutely detail-free, I can't understand why so many people are giving it so much weight. Haven't people heard that SL dramas are frequently multi-sided thingies?

What helpful advice was your friend giving the new resident?

I've used the avatar's z axis primarily to check if their attachments can hear and respond to messages from my scripts after they arrive on a region. It's always proved reliable for that.

Depends what you're trying to do, I think. KVP is great if you're interested in storing, updating and retrieving particular records, but not so great if you want to look at lots of records at once. So I'd use KVP if I want to keep track of individual players' scores, but Google Sheets (or Big Query in extreme cases) if I wanted to produce a league table, at least if it's one of any size, or track all my sales records.

I'd try llGetAgentSize So, if (agentSize.z != 1.9), llGetObjectDetails should work (though I'm a bit surprised if(llGetObjectDetails([some_parameters]) !=[ ]) doesn't work too).

I can't speak from experience of the place but that certainly doesn't coincide with what I've heard about SL's Teen Grid.

Isn't a weed simply something that's growing where you don't want to be?

I find Sublime Text invaluable, primarily because of its formatting and shortcuts and code completion it offers. I am, though, having a problem with Sublime Text 4 and Makopo's plug-in. I want to use K&R style for the formatting and my default Sublime Text colour scheme. However, Preferences>Package Settings>LSL/OSLSL always reverts to ""User Viewer Theme" every time I re-open Sublime Text and, although K&R Style remains checked, it doesn't seem to have any effect. Neither does unchecking it. Anyone got any suggestions as to what's over-riding it? I've poked round and changed things were I can, but I'm getting nowhere.

To my mind, the Senra avatar will remove a large barrier to new user retention, no matter what viewer they're using. I shudder to think how many people must be put off when, on asking, "how do I customise my avatar to get it to look something like all these good-looking and well-dressed people I see around me?" are told "First you have to buy US$25 or $30 worth of L$ and use them to buy a mesh avatar and head for the top brands, or search around for freebie or introductory ones, but you can't really use the one Linden Lab provide".

To my mind there's bound to be a large change in the market because suddenly anyone who wants to try their hand at making clothes or accessories will be able to get hold of a dev kit to make stuff they can sell to anyone. A great deal of rubbish will, of course, be produced, but so, too, will some good stuff, and it seems inevitable that, regardless of what established creators do, we'll see talented new creators making clothes and accessories for the new bodies because an artificial constraint on their entering the market has been removed. Time will tell, though.
