An adult rating is a non-starter for Linden Homes regions as commerce (even tip jars) is not allowed. Adult activity is currently allowed in Moderate regions subject to the "behind closed doors" policy. Bellisseria residents already have access to most of the connected protected water including the Blake Sea. The missing piece is the 20m elevation water (e.g. Sea of Fables) of Sansara and Heterocera (already connected to Sansara via ANWR). An expansion to the eastern end of the East River could make the final connection.

I like this feature now that I know how to hide myself. It's like being a Klingon with my cloaking-device turned on. Gagh anyone?

breech adjective relating to or denoting presentation of a fetus in which the buttocks, rump, or legs are nearest the cervix and emerge first at birth. As a fan of Call the Midwife, I know that the breech presentation is sometimes resolved by turning (rolling back) the fetus.

Will topics that discuss the Metaverse, Meta, or Zuckerberg always be locked and/or deleted? Are there any loopholes, such as the topic being relevant to Second Life vis a vis comparisons to the way other platforms do things? Is the real problem the ridicule of Zuckerberg or is it something else?

Now I can go back to lurking and you'll never know... bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Also, there is a Parade of Homes that has links to homes that are open to the public for viewing.

The concept of Bellisserian community is exaggerated in my opinion. I believe there is only Second Life community, based upon common interests. There is no concept of neighborhood community in Bellisseria anymore than that concept exists on Mainland. Communities such as "people who sail boats" sail the waters of Bellisserria simply because they exist. We sail everywhere. Some people like to roleplay "Bellisseria bureaucracy" but those are few. Most Belli residents are not at home. The Forums is the one place that suggests a true Belli community, but again, most participation is a dedicated few. On the plus side, there are events... such as those at the fairgrounds, or ferry boats, or parades and the such. But these are available to any resident of Second Life. Bellisseria is actually at a disadvantage compared to mainland, community wise, because DJ tipping is not officially allowed, although it obviously occurs. Parties with DJs are a primary event in Second Life and a source of community building. The main value of Bellisseria is that it is a great deal.

PRIVACY breech! Roll it back!

Did this feature just get added today? I noticed the site was down earlier for an update. I have also seen it actually name the users. Is this a privacy breech for those who browse forums? How do you feel about this? And could it at least say "2 other users are also here"

When the 2048s are available, you will likely have 702 LI for your home. On an annual plan (minus stipend), the cost is $119. On a Premium plan, you get a 1024 and 351LI for $39 (per year on annual plan). (an incredibly excellent deal, ty) Mulipling by 3, we see that you can get THREE 1024 homes and 1053 LI for $117. Available TODAY! (the 1053LI must be used 351 per home)

Also, in situations where she is in the parcel and does not need to see herself or be visible to guests, she could switch into an invisible outfit.

Bausch AND Lomb! A "core" is a synonym for "processor". Computing machinery with multiple cores can execute multiple computations simultaneously. An application, such as a viewer, is said to be multi-threaded if it is composed of independent sub-tasks. A modern operating system running a multi-threaded app on a multi-core CPU can execute sub-tasks simultaneously, thereby improving performance. That is the point. This has been the case since at least the 1960s and is general purpose. For an example of how synchronization of concurrent algorithms was described back then, see the Dining Philosophers Problem as posed by Dijkstra. Development of concurrent algorithms is often difficult, but the performance improvements can be great.

This is true, you are absolutely correct. Second Life does not exploit advances in GPUs (e.g. RTX ray tracing) or multi-core CPUs (so I have been told). I only use the Ultra setting for photos, when FPS is irrelevant. Second Life is just NOT a high-end gamer platform and new users that require that will not stay. FULL STOP. Note that at any one moment, all the online residents of Second Life could be seated in a US major league baseball stadium. Not many of us. Future not bright, no need for shades. Barring an unexpected mass infusion of cash, not likely SL will ever be graphically upgraded. On the other hand, if the cash did appear... I would be inclined to go in the opposite direction... getting SL to work on mobile devices (I know this has been previously attempted but understand that those attempts were "suboptimal").

For the record, let it be known that this limitation on the number of items that can be contained in an inventory folder is a consequence of some implementation decision that was made decades ago... specifically some address field of an inventory data structure likely has an insufficient number of bits. Or something like that. It is perfectly reasonable (to me) for someone to have a totally flat inventory and find things via search. But times being what they are, better to just work around the real issue. If the work around is simply to take spread out flatland over several machine-named folders, one can STILL ignore that and find everything via search

I run SL on a laptop with a midrange GPU and rarely have client-side problems with frame rate. When it gets laggy for me, it usually is server-side and involves other avatars. CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz (2592 MHz) Memory: 32676 MB Concurrency: 12 OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit (Build 19044.1889) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Graphics Card Memory: 4096 MB

My understanding (not 100% certain), is that each choice has a 24 hour timer... if you make a choice at 5pm, 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm..... then go on vacation until 7:30pm the next day... you will have 3 choices available..... but the other two will be there at 9:30pm... capeesh? (I think this is what Frigga said)

If you can find that it would be a very expensive parcel. Linden Lab charges (membership+tier) the least (per sqm) for 1024 sqm ownership but rapidly jacks up the price for the additonal sqm until you reach 1/4 reqion then it starts to decline. Persephone describes a common tactic for reducing fees... premium stacking. or using alts and multiple accounts to exploit the cheap entry level pricing. Bottom line, do the math for the number of sqm you wind up with to make sure you are not overpaying tier. Linden Lab makes it very difficult for non-spreadsheeters to figure out how to structure tier. But initially, buying the land in your desired location is going to dominate the economics. Also, if you don't care about the Premium Plus "vegas perks" like picking a Linden Home or uploading a huge number of textures, regular Premium is almost always cheaper. Also (again), the fairest way to compare pricing is to subtract off stipend (what LL pays you per week) because you can convert this back into dollars and use it to make future tier payments. Yes... it's complicated.

I use the "prim as wall shell/skin" method to add accent walls to a Traditional. If you do this for multiple walls, be sure and link them all together and make the root prim "convex hull" to cut the LI in half.

Also traffic is sometimes late in updating.

Your journey is now possible. Open the world map and find the Stromberg region. That is where Bellisseria connects to Satori. From there you can find continuous protected water to the Blake.

It appears that traffic reporting is delayed. As of 6:59pm SLT on Thursday, Aug 25, the traffic is 1613... a number I would have expected 24 hours ago.

The photo is what Zindra looks like at 1000m (shot from an arbitrary locaton). My suspicion is that Zindra would be last on the priority list for sprucing up at ground level.

In Second Life, property owners can exclude access to their parcel. Consequently, if you purchase a parcel and desire access to connected protected water, you must make sure that said parcel actually borders on connected protected water. Otherwise, you depend on the kindness of other residents (many are kind but some are not). Linden Lab is under no obligation to remedy this situation, although rarely they add regions that have this effect in pursuit of other objectives. With respect to Satori, there is no guaranteed access in some stretches... Steinhauer to Malfelonious on the southeast coast and Carver to Graybar on the southwest coast.

So was the idea in the video that you physically go to Walmart in a car, put on a headset, go in the store, but you are really in a simulation, do your shoppy thing, go back to your car, drive home. Huh? Why not just do all that in your jammies on the couch, have it delivered, and not even have a car* (or at least have one that does not need an oil change). *I am into the Westworld season 3 view of cars.

I have always believed that the traffic statistic in About Land measured avatar-minutes of the prior day measured from midnight SLT. Evidently not. The About Land Wiki says Previous 24 hours? Updated 2 times a day? Here is my confusion. I hosted a party on Tuesday from 5pm to 7pm SLT and expected to see a traffic number of 1000 or so. The DJ alone would be 120. However on Wednesday at 7:48pm SLT, the traffic number was 96. So what interval did the 96 come from, that is, when did this interval start?
