I would pick a leg bone. A femur has a nice heft to it.
Nah. I save those to gnaw the marrow out of.

According to LL, that and the myriad of other issues with crashing straight to desktop I've had in the last months/weeks, are probably due to a poor internet connection which I can do nothing to improve as I presently pay for the fastest residential fibre connection available. I've not been in SL very long (since mid 2015) compared to many of you but I do feel there are lots of excuses and allowances made for why our beloved 3 legged pet (SL) doesn't win many races
In your particular case, LL is most likely correct. If you think I am defending LL, you are wrong. I have plenty of my own bones to pick with them.

Mainland really is not for everyone. By design.
Incorrect. Once upon a time the only land available was mainland. Private regions did not exist. Mainland was designed for everyone. Homesteads weren't introduced until 2009. I don't remember exactly what year private regions were introduced but it was only a couple or three years before homesteads.

Laughs. The old 'It's your PC not SL' caveat simply does not wash anymore. Expecting people to cheerfully part with their hard earnt for this sort of performance certainly belongs to 2003 and not 2019. Look. The answer was simple and obvious. Keep the servers up to date and expanded. But No. Lets waste the profits on Sansar instead, everybody's itching to strap a pair of goggles to their head after all. Buck up Linden Labs or you're going to drive away even more users.
Yep. Doom and gloom is really going to help things.
You seem to be expecting perfection where perfection does not exist. If LL didn't keep the servers up to date, SL would have ceased to exist 10 years ago. When it comes to expansion, that is Sansar. No, everyone is not "itching to strap on a pair of googles". That sort of virtual reality is even more of a niche market than virtual worlds like SL are. Not to mention there are those of us who can't use the VR goggles due to TMI. A not so small niche group of people.
There are times when it is better to engage the brain before putting the mouth (or fingers) into gear.

Take the blame for mistakes from people you are responsible for
That isn't being mature. That's covering up for someone else. Also known as lying.
I've done more than my fair share of just that the past 60 years. It's the wrong thing to do. Others need to take responsibility for their own actions and words, otherwise they will never mature.

But there are plenty of posts here that suggest that some are choosing to be miserable SOBs, merely because they've paid LL for the privilege to be so.

I do wonder if the fragility of Marketplace is somehow connected to the tech issues with tp.
I still don't buy gifts on MP after it stopped working recently. I still get things dropping from my basket when trying to pay, and sometimes I get page not available, which then clears after going back one page.
It's manageable but has been like this for several weeks now.
That's part of what I have said about not having nearly the issues that seem to plague everyone else. I've recently been using the MP to make some looooooong awaited purchases and haven't had any issues doing so. Have you thought about clearing browser cookies? They can become corrupt.
I know people don't like having to run cleanup and defrag once a week (many believe it not necessary or will mess up a SSD) but doing so is far better for your computer and your programs.

Obviously many people commenting here do not log on SL regularly or for long periods of time but people are crashing left and right sending you home and some log in to find there huds destroyed, AO's wiped out and their avatars messed up permanently and need to redo all their catwa heads and mesh bodies. Not few people but alot. Any travelling by foot or vehicle past a sim crossing and your frozen for long periods of time then crash. This WILL drive people away since it's been going on for a few weeks now.
Lindens know about this and attempting to fix but they are obviously stumped. Do not adjust your computers etc, it is not you it is SL.
Odd, I just spent about 12 hours in SL just today. I'm sorry I don't have nearly the issues that others do. I never have.
Sim/region crossings have always been troublesome. I'm more concerned with the being logged out on teleport issues that is affecting so many people, including myself (just doesn't happen nearly as frequently for me than it does for many). That will drive people away if LL can't get a handle on it soon. Not me though. I was used to this kind of thing happening frequently 14 years ago.

What's so depressing about everything I've read here is that there is absolutely zero sign of anyone trying to reach out and compromise, or even really understand the other side.
I'm back to being chopped liver again?
What needs to happen is a change in the current SL culture... or rather the attitudes that developed the current culture.

I have been stalked multiple times in RL, each of them for lengthy periods of time. So I daresay I know what it is like to deal with. And it, among other things that have happened to me, do indeed affect me going forward.
But I also recognize that has nothing to do with SL and even less to do with the subject at hand, which is boating, flying, and driving. Not people parking on our land, staying there, and surveilling us, taking our photos, following us, leaving "gifts," cyberstalking us, sending us messages, and other such things that I've experienced with some of my RL stalkers.
Were you in SL when RedZone was a thing? If not, then you are not aware of the fact that they were dossing residents and storing that information to grief people with. The guy who created RedZone? He was a convicted criminal.
So yes, it has everything to do with SL. And the 9mm that was aimed at my head and the resulting bullet holes in the wall behind my head. That kind of stalker. The kind that will track you down no matter where you go, including online. Especially online.

LL will never be able to please everyone all of the time.
I've have said that I don't know how many times.
3 minutes ago, AnyaJurelle said:When you have a demented stalker who doesn't seem to understand the difference between pixels and reality and keeps creating armies of new alts just to haunt you, you'll use whatever tools are at your disposal to keep the jerk out.
Yes, I did. And I wouldn't do otherwise.
4 minutes ago, AnyaJurelle said:Only way to (almost) please everyone is to make areas of the grid 'explorer friendly' and others 'not so much' - and mark them accordingly on the world map.
So pretty much what we have now with mainland and privates estates. Just they aren't indicated on the map by anything other than location.
How would you go about "marking them on the map"?

Just as an aside - to those with 'ban line angst': World > Show More > Ban Lines (select to either tick or untick) and hey presto! ban lines magically invisible (to you) forever.
Ever run into a perfectly clean and clear sheet of plexiglass or safety glass? That's what's gonna happen if someone who is flying, driving, what have you and can't see those lines. Then the bitching will really get started. And all because they forgot they turned banlines off. Oops.

Philip's idea that turned out to be SL, was for a 3D operating system.

Whirly, my antivirus protection thinks this Singularity installation contains malware. Any reassurance you can offer?
It's probably the Vivox for voice. It often throws an AV false positive on TPVs.

Wow - I had no idea the terminology was so important.
I know the difference between crashing and being logged off. I think everyone understood my point, and the issue that's been ongoing for a few weeks now.
It can be. Especially in troubleshooting. Sorry if I came off sounding as if I were scolding you or something. Sometime I excise excess verbiage a bit too much.

I've switched to Cool VL Viewer and only crashed once in the last week. My bandwidth has been maximized for months. I tried Singularity again today and crashed in 30 minutes, just staying in one sim. Grr.
That one crash isn't the the same issue as disconnect on teleport. The issue that is affecting many users is being disconnected during a teleport. That is not the same thing as crashing. When your viewer just suddenly shuts down of its own accord, that's crashing. When you are being logged out, that's not crashing.

Everything in computing has become more stable than in 2004. If anything, LL has not kept up with rising user expectations.
SL needs to break no more often than GTA V or Fortnite. That's basic. "Break" means any failure in immersion, from a forced logout to a failed region crossing to loss of voice connectivity to objects not getting drawn in a reasonable length of time. It's just not acceptable any more. Consumer computing is past that.
Thank you for stating the obvious.

Second Life has become feeble and unstable. People are giving up in droves. I dont blame them.
Not true. SL is actually more stable now that it was in 2004. A lot more.
Don't be such a pessimist. I like you better when you're more optimistic.

Those who are mature haven't necessarily grown up. My mother never grew up. Neither will I. Yet, I was always considered to be mature far beyond my years. Figure that one out. lol

All of which I have done. For 14 years. The account I am on currently is not my first nor my main.
Seriously, I am sorry others are having such a hard time while some of us aren't really affected. These things take time to troubleshoot and sometimes it can weeks or even months.
Patience is a virtue that is hard to come by.
