I still have my flip phone.  So when the Lab opens up the app for mobile after all the testing --- it will still not run on the flipper! 😂🤣

I won't be using it myself.. My phone probably couldn't run it anyways.. Even if it could, I can't see a reason I would really.. SL is for my free time, not when I'm out and about or doing anything else.. hehehe

Yeah, mine stays open (my laptop / notebook).

I think the closest I ever came to a laptop was an Ipad.

I was looking at them a few years ago, but they were way over priced then and still couldn't come close to the power of my desk top..

[Always pick your laptop open in the middle (PSA)]

I don't think I have ever opened a laptop before.  But I did have a flip phone at one time.

Do you really think that your payment history magically disappears from their databases, when you remove your payment information from the website? Your data are in there somewhere, like it or not.
 

My old information ya, they can have that. They wont have any useful payment information though. I already have a new card on the way and they don't have any of my others.

I have changing card numbers on speed dial. It's not my first rodeo. Hehehe

No. Anyone buying linden dollars needs to also --or selling without processing credit. Those that process credit need to prove who they are which includes driver's license or passport and proof of residence.  

Anyone who has had anything to do with linden dollars other than earning them inworld by working for example has agreed. At one point (not sure about now) there was the tiniest text on the page that said something like "by continuing with this transaction you are agreeing with the Tilia TOS and privacy policy" (PP only for US folks).   So a ton of folks that don't care, pay attention or don't read LOL have agreed and don't even know it.  

 

OH WELL. I actually read the TOS and privacy policies (again) before agreeing. It took me an hour and a half :D.   

I'm probably just not remembering it is all.. Either way, I won't have to this time..

I decided to wait and see what they tell us and read what they give us when the new one shows up. plus probably gonna do some research.

In the mean time, I downgraded my 3 accounts that were premium to basics and removed my payment information..

I've been hit twice with information leaks by bigger companies than this one. One was not too long after some other company took them over..  Third time isn't gonna be a charm for me.. hehehe

My memory is a little hazy on it but I thought it had something to do with the Lab starting to charge for the listing, whether or not the sale price was 0 L$ or not. Seem to remember there was some fuss about it.

The ones in world?

I can understand the ones on the MP doing it, but in world is the ones that I don't have the patience for anymore..

They can do what they want in world, but so can I.. hehehe

It seems likely (no info on this at all) that the folks that are buying Tilia are buying the DATABASE with customers and client information.  So (to me) it seems like they will already have anyone's info --- especially those that processed credit out to Paypal.  When I agreed to the Tilia TOS at the very end of last year (after they had changed their TOS to the better) I didn't have to redo any info. It just went right through once it recognized me.  I had been "cashing out" monthly before Tilia was divided from SL. 

So my fingers are crossed that I don't regret that move. 

Things won't change hands I wouldn't think, until it's all a done deal.. It still has to go through regulatory approvals..

Then I would think we would need to agree to another TOS. Which I thought just those that cash out had to agree to the Tilla Tos.

Myself, I think I'm just gonna pull my info for now and wait and see, because I don't like this behind closed doors crap with my information.

Peeve.  Charging for a demo.  I was picking up demos at Tres Chic today and what used to be uncommon seems to now be common.  Usually, I don't mind paying 1L for a demo because in most cases, they return it immediately.  ONE vendor returned the 1L and I picked up about 5 that used this method.  Also making a note of those that did not return and will be sending them a notecard.  These are stores I've demoed in the past and they never charged.  Is this going to be the norm now?  I hope my 1L keeps you afloat because I won't be spending more in your store.  Good job!

I don't even bother with any of them anymore..

I don't mind grabbing one from the MP, because it just saves me a page to have to click on and I get right to the cash out.. but in world if I see more than $0, I'm not getting the demo and I'm not shopping there..

I don't care why they do it really..  I just don't have the patience anymore to give a hoot why they do it really.. hehehe

ETA: Just to add.. Another thing that gets under my skin.. The fake demo sign..

Some have an inactive demo or some just put it right in the image of the add in the booth, where clicking on the add you buy the item.. It just feels like a setup for accidental purchases, which they won't refund..

As long as it's really HQ'ed in Singapore and not Beijing. 

The following example is similar to the issues with TikTok...there's a mobile streaming service (IQYI) that has their "international" headquarters in Singapore, but their corporate HQ in China. A while back they were picking up exclusives on some KDramas, and there was discussion on the internet among KDrama fans about whether or not to join the service. If you look at their fine print...they're sharing their customer data with corporate HQ.

That's really my only concern.. I get real touchy when it comes to my payment information..

At&t Just got hit and my information got nabbed.. Now I have another free identity theft protection for a year from them.. funny they decided to raise prices two weeks after they got hit.. Bastages having customers covering the costs of the companies own leaks.

So ya, I'm trigger happy on pulling my info if I get leery, in a heart beat.. I'm about done spending anymore money in this world anyways. This right here is just  something that might make that happen sooner than later.

I'm just wondering if they were gonna tell us before or after it's a done deal?

We are reaching the point, that everybody has everything that makes sense already in their inventory.
Hence look at the sales: More and more stuff is getting more and more absurd, over exaggerated, more pushy.

Normal jeans, skirts,  shirts, tops, shoes?  Everybody has them a several times already in all color tones from black to the new black and from the new black to the latest black. And every color in between.

Ya I agree, Many users have the basics of things down pretty well and could stop there and just go do other things..

I think my problem is, it's starting to feel like other platforms, where there is only so many of these mesh to texture, so it becomes more about selling the same mesh in many places and make it about the color or texture, rather than more making their own mesh and adding more originality in the mesh pool..

I could settle for the basics and be more involved in other things, But I've always been hooked on trying to piece together ideas that pop in my head, from things I find in the world..

The only problem is, those things are either nonexistent because those kind of things don't get made anymore or buried under the flood of repetitive regurgitation.

I remember having ideas and being able to put together something in a day or two, where now if it can be done, usually takes me a week or two of hunting..

It's feeling more like a world of, how can I make money in here, rather than I want to learn to create and express myself kind of world..

But it could just be that I'm just getting bored with the world as well.. It wouldn't be the first time I  guess.. hehehe

So I was talking to someone the other day and they said something, I responded to it in the context of what I understood they had said (which is what all of us do after all)...and they ghosted me all yesterday cos apparently I didn't respond how I should have and they're pissed with me over it.

This is why talking to people peeves me!

That's pretty childish of them.. But I think the internet brings out a lot of childish behavior in people. I just wish the  fun childish behavior, outweighed the spoiled.. hehehe

There's a lot of truth to that.

That said, I did find a couple of really lovely things today that have me genuinely a little excited. Although one of those was at an event rather than a sale.

But there is a sort of "routine" element to sitting down with my coffee on a Saturday morning, and working my way through Seraphim. It does start to feel like "work."

I'm just gonna go back to what I used to do and not bother with events and sales anymore.. I'm just gonna get those triple A creators on a list and when they release something that I like, I'll get it.. there really is no reason for me to shop as much as I do.. So much things just sit in my inventory..

I'll still browse the sales and events on the website, because ya , it's good to relax and have my tea early on a Friday or Saturday morning.. But I'm gonna stop settling for less quality as well as, buying the same exact mesh from another store.. For me it's just silly for me to do..

Peeve: Sometimes shopping the weekend sales feels like a chore.

I haven't bought lindens in two weeks. The events and the sales  just have so much of the same thing and in more than one store having the same mesh..

Shopping is getting really boring and monotonous really.. I'm really craving more originality in a market that is lacking in it more and more..

It's feeling more like fast food than dining out anymore.
