There's nothing wrong with acquiring those services, they have grown and became essential to business. If they are suddenly gone it will negatively affect everyone. But yes, of course they are going monetize CasperVend, that's why they Patch Linden worded the post as such - "foreseeable future" which is vague. Can't really blame LL for the Linden Homes too. They make things easier and ..prettier. Resident-run business land can't run on this scale. I see it as a replacement for "mainland" which looks atrocious.

No, it won't kill commerce, market will simply adapt. Just like when mesh came out and it killed lots of brands but many new were established. SL hasn't gone anywhere... The only way to kill SL is to try to sanitize it and make it PEGI like they did with Sansar. Companies going out of business is completely natural. Apple pretty much killed Dark Sky app when they upgraded their own iOS weather app. Does it suck for Dark Sky? Yes. But as user I like that I don't have to install yet another app for basic functionality. If people prefer something extra/specific which Maitreya offers they will stick to it and the brand will survive. Also It must be fun for new residents to accidentally detach their head or body and wonder what the deuce is going on... And by "compatibility layer" I mean system that lets people use Maitreya rigged products on Kupra for example. And no - deformers are not going to help although they do in the case of Gianni -> David because both bodies are made by same person, they have the files, therefore can "extrapolate" the values for the deformer.

Not only 10 years too late but not even close to 3rd party solutions. A multi million dollar company can't afford professional grade 3D artist? Also this doesn't appear to be an entirely new body system but just a mesh worn on top of the system body. I don't see this dealing with the whole body clusterfudge mess that currently is. If it's even technologically possible, I'd much rather to see some kind of compatibility layer. Every year a new body comes out, and old stuff don't work because nobody will update tens or hundreds products.

Can someone confirm if the chip in the vaccines works after the latest iOS update? /s

Just the other day I was wondering when LL will finally make Daddy last name available so I can cringe. They should email everyone who has unironically purchased it this video

Two Factor Authenication (2FA)
Ati Thei replied to Kimmi Zehetbauer's topic in General Discussion Forum
1) You can correct it with glasses or contact lenses... 2) Every smartphone allows you change the font/UI size 3) Android/iOS can even read you the message. There's no discrimination. -
They will do another transaction fee increase next year. And something else. Slowly over time. It's the boiling frog fable. Before the acquisition, LL repeatedly increased all fees trying to bump the revenues and increase the market value of the company before they sell it. What I find hilarious is the claim they are "committed to reinvesting all of that revenue back into Second Life". So basically the investment company is not going to make anything off SL? Either they are good samaritans or trying to increase the value of SL again and sell it for profit.

New FS Viewer...6.4.13...Looks Like BLEEEEEEEP!
Ati Thei replied to FairreLilette's topic in General Discussion Forum
If you think hardware information is sensitive information then I suggest you cancel your social media accounts and turn off all the devices. Also I use Catznip on my potato laptop for years. -
New FS Viewer...6.4.13...Looks Like BLEEEEEEEP!
Ati Thei replied to FairreLilette's topic in General Discussion Forum
if she has a dedicated GPU but runs FS with the integrated, the hardware info would show the integrated anyway. Radeon HD 7480D is integrated in AMD A4 5300 CPU's and she says her GPU is 5300 but pretty sure at this point she was mistaken and that's her CPU. And the 4GB memory she's mentions is the system memory. Maybe try Catznip viewer, no EEP support yet but you would get good UI and better performance. Mystery solved. -
New FS Viewer...6.4.13...Looks Like BLEEEEEEEP!
Ati Thei replied to FairreLilette's topic in General Discussion Forum
No, the Firestorm icon which you click to launch it. Right click on it to get this menu and see if there's "Run with graphics processor", if so, choose AMD. See if there's difference. The fact that Dynamic Texture Memory is locked makes me think you run Firestorm through integrated graphics. (assuming you are correct about having RX 5300 although this card has 3GB memory, not 4 as you say) And for the love of Flying Spaghetti Monster, copy/paste us the info from Help -> About Firestorm. -
New FS Viewer...6.4.13...Looks Like BLEEEEEEEP!
Ati Thei replied to FairreLilette's topic in General Discussion Forum
AMD has 5300 series CPU and GPU. Are you sure that's the GPU? You haven't provided the hardware info from Help -> About Firestorm. From one of the screenshots I can see Texture Memory Buffer is set to 512MB and apparently it's maximum for you because you can't enable Dynamic Texture Memory which is available to GPUs with more than 512MB memory...This is strange because AMD RX 5300 series GPU have 3GB memory therefore the option should be available to you. You either don't have RX 5300 series GPU or you are running Firestorm through the integrated CPU's graphics processor. Right click on Firestorm's icon and see if there's "run with graphics processor" option in the context menu, if yes, Select AMD/Nvidia. Or you do have RX 5300 series but drivers are screwed up. Here's how to get the hardware info. You may just copy/paste CPU: and Graphics Card segments. P.S. Dynamic Texture Memory is a Firestorm feature added in 6.4.13, it's possible the issue is there if they have made some other code changes related to Texture memory. -
Why Can't the Groups Be Fixed and Do They Really Need to Be?
Ati Thei replied to Prokofy Neva's topic in Second Life Viewer
The chat needs to be rebuild from ground up so it's a future-proof and easy to scale. If they can come up with something like Socket.io + AWS Fargate + Redis that would be actually nice. More groups and no missed notices means potential revenue. -
What about that group of people who burned government buildings and private properties during the summer? Occupied police stations, occupied part of a city as "autonomous zone". I see their flags around SL quite often. Always the fascists....but never a word about the communists who are doing the same... right now...with the help of Big Tech who take advantage of this moment to grab even more power. Having useful idiots sure is great. But they are going to be the next on the list.

It's almost 2021 and we still don't have 2F authentication. Some accounts are worth millions but who cares.

LINDEN RESEARCH, INC. TO BE ACQUIRED
Ati Thei replied to Milk Pixelmaid's topic in General Discussion Forum
Few search queries will show you failed products that google and facebook acquired. But ...don't do that. It's for simple people lol Please do your homework, buying distressed tech companies is a common practice. And it's not rare when it doesn't pay out. -
LINDEN RESEARCH, INC. TO BE ACQUIRED
Ati Thei replied to Milk Pixelmaid's topic in General Discussion Forum
Land sales don't mean anything really. Estates die all the time, people move, it could be that. Yes, I totally think that investors are capable of doing bad investments, especially when it comes to tech. Seen it already. But of course you are going to spin this and tell people everything is fine when you are financially incentivized. You won't benefit if people panic or just start to leave. And for the most successful estate on the grid(self proclaimed) I've never heard of you. Not even 2 weeks ago when I saw looking for a homestead. If SL was doing so good as you claim there won't be need to be sold. It's simple. You don't sell your golden goose...assuming SL is one, which is not anymore. I don't need a grain of salt while reading your posts, I need an entire sack. -
LINDEN RESEARCH, INC. TO BE ACQUIRED
Ati Thei replied to Milk Pixelmaid's topic in General Discussion Forum
I like how Linden employees come here to say it's a good thing. If SL was doing well and was very profitable it wouldn't have to be sold. But thanks to Ebbe Linden and his amazing management skills here we are. Ditched Patterns, Ditched and sold Sansar(many people said it's going to be a flop way before millions of dollars were spent). Now time to jump off the ship while it hasn't sunk yet completely. Those investors will want to make their money back as soon as possible. So get ready to be milked with higher taxes and other stuff. -
Gambling Game in SL Stores for Outfits
Ati Thei replied to Burt Bolissima's topic in General Discussion Forum
In Japan gachas are regulated, and companies publish the probability rations. And in general, RL casinos are regulated by state agencies and random inspections occur, checking if machines have been modified. So no, don't compare regulated industry to a script coded by someone you don't even know and nobody can revise it. This is one of the reasons Zyngo got banned. I'm looking forward the day gachas are finally banned. They are abused beyond absurd already... Ah, yes, someone had to bring how much they hate Trump. Here, have some digital back pats. Poor NPC 😢 edit: oddly familiar youtube.com/watch?v=mthj2Z7xqvM&t=3608 -
A brief note on pricing changes, which ran long.
Ati Thei replied to Grumpity Linden's topic in General Discussion Forum
Please explain why Sansar processing fee is 1.5% and why you are not planning to raise it up? Suddenly the "regulatory climate" is not a problem. It's time to milk the 100 Sansar users and put the burden on them to make back "your" investment. And if your reason to reduce groups was the back-end strain, why didn't you first try to optimize your code? Implement new tech, protocols, etc? But no, first thing is to cut off basic stuff . Sure it's not easy but it's a mandatory. It's laughable to say "We’re making lasting investments into SL in infrastructure, features, and content" when you take away the SL's staff to work a dead project. And lets not mention fitted mesh implementation from few years ago.... -
No matter how I look at it, I can't see any way how Linden Lab can justify those changes other than pure lazyness and greed. Can't remember any platform I've used that suddenly cutoff basic features to boost premium accounts.... And on top of that, doubling the processing fee from 2.5% to the wooping 5.0%. FIVE PERCENT? To help the economy? Oh really? And I thought you run out of funds because Sansar and now it's time to milk your only profitable project. Yes, I can see your "commitment" to SL, fired so much of the staff, and moved most of what is left to work on Sansar. It's been about 1.5 years since you announced the return of old names but nothing yet. I fail to see how something this simple is taking you so long. The code for it it's already in the back-end, most of the work is frontend and it's minimal. SL has been doing gradually downhill ever since Ebbe Linden stepped as a CEO. This guy is just clueless.

So all criticism of Viewer 2 is gone with the new system?
Ati Thei replied to Jean Horten's topic in Second Life Viewer
Lol, what is this sh.t ... really... Who needed these web profiles? Thanks for asking us again what we think about it, LL. You always care for our opinion and we all really appreciate it. Thank for not being also able to load profiles or edit mine thru the built-in browser... and for that I can't find people with your search engine unless I'm using Phoenix/Emerald/etc. You are winning again. Go on and make our experience even worse here. Pic related. It's me right now...
