    -BONUS: Is what I'm doing - having alt accounts as imaginary friends/enemies/etc. - bad?

    Not "bad" in my opinion no; as long as they're not talking crap about you and leaving you vulnerable and feeling worse than when you started.  As long as the "Friends" ones are lifting you and aiding you in endeavours of self-care and self-confidence.  As long as you come away feeling better than when you started.  What could be so bad about that :)

    So, I've moved on from easy diffusion to stable diffusion, and have been having a blast. I created this using RevAnimated

    I installed InstantID into Automatic1111 and used this picture (once again) as my face model and started playing around with it.

    The below is one of my first tries.

    It kind of merges both faces but I'm working on it.  

    Then I thought I would give a statue a try

    I love this statue, anyway, I removed the back ground and used InstantID again

    Meh, it is a work in progress, but still a lot of fun.

    Magnificent!

    Have you ever had a crush on someone else's avatar?

    in 2007 I realized I had a crush on my partner-at-the-time's avatar when he kept insinuating, at the time, that he was going to update his skin and hair to be more current with the trends; and every time he would insinuate such things I would feel crushed inside because I didn't want that face to change even one little bit.  And of course, things always must change and creativity breaks through previous successes and one learns to accept, if not adore or more, the new normal.  But that 2007 face is still so very tenderly locked away in my emotions :)  Silly as it may sound.

    "Coming soon: 15% reduction to mesh download impact" question

    in Mesh

    gah spells.

    Greetings! Hopefully this is yields some quick yesses or nos without too much trouble.

    From the Featured News of March 13, there was a headline in the Creator segment about a 15% reduction to mesh download impact, which states, "Download weight is one parameter used as part of calculating an object’s Land Impact (LI).  We will be reducing this by 15%, decreasing the land impact of many mesh assets." 

    Are we there now?  Has the land impact of many mesh assets now been decreased?   Is that future here now finally?  :)

    Official Statement from Oberwolf Linden

    What I don't really know is what can be done about it structurally, in terms of changes to the ToS, etc.

     

    The thing that I like about Brad's statement addresses a comprehensive review of Content Guidelines, especially; and that is something that would (if done with a stern rigour) would cut right through the "culture" in question. 

    Though, it is one thing to review and explicate in a document what is permissible; it is another thing altogether to make sure that the content stays out of SL.  If that were possible, though, the "culture" in question would sustain a big hit and that would move things forward considerably.

    WTF is all this trafficking nonsense.

     

    My take on this aspect of the statement is that, while not germane to the explosive article, it is very relevant to what has been reported over and over again when seen in SL, as I personally can attest to.  I've seen and reported some hard, awful things* that definitely warrant this kind of intervention.  So I'm really glad he raised it.

    🎉 Exciting Announcement: Unveiling the Next Premium Plus Linden Homes Theme at Christmas Expo! 🎄

    This wouldn't be such an issue if we had a fair shot even when we used the land page, to get the house that we want.  We have five attempts per day to get the one house we want; and what comes up is - more often than not - the same house over and over again, that is not the one we want.  If there were a fair variety of houses on the selection page, it would mitigate the sting somewhat.  But since the release, I have been trying every day to get even one of a half dozen specific homes; and I watch as they one by one get claimed while I keep getting the same house.  The Concierge Support for Premium Plus members was supposed to address this problem.  But that was suspended until January 8 for this theme, according to Patch.  So, day after day, I keep trying.  Same house.  Same two or three houses.   Meanwhile others are actually submitting tickets for the houses they want and are having those tickets fulfilled. And it's only December 28. 

    Just to be perfectly clear about the problem as I see it.

    It isn't a refund that I am looking for; it would just be really nice to know why I'm paying extra for a service that "feels" broken to me right now.  I guess I will file a ticket.
