I used to use it quite a bit back when it still had a Grid manager so as to be able to use it on other grids. Even after the Grid manager was removed, I managed to still make it be able to but eventually having to redo the changes on every new release became tiring and I wound up dumping it as did a few other friends I know. I don't care so much for whether it supports other OS's but I do want a viewer that can be used in other Grids as there is enough differences between Firestorm's and BD's UI that it would be a pain to switch back and forth depending on the Grid being logged into.

Not to pick on you but a couple points on that list would not be helpful. I rather be told if noone else has mentioned a problem because then maybe I need to look elsewhere like reboot router/machine/modem, phone isp and complain at them. Blame microsuck updates etc.

I gain about 20-25% when I turn off water but it is something they are looking into why there is such a difference. Another thing is that turning the graphics slider to minimum actually increases my FPS. It was mentioned the other day that the slider may not work as expected in some cases but its being looked into so don't give up on it yet.

Try turning off water (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+7)

Well it would require asking Firestorm and hoping it will be allowed under the shared experience requirements of the Lab.

But wouldn't both the sending and receiving viewer need to support it?

we also got along without mesh avatars, bento, animesh, EEP, and a host of other features added in the past 20 years that we would not want to live without today and which were all objected against initially.

From Inara Pey's site : If the work is taken up by an open-source developer it will only be for emoji support in chat; it will not include the use of emojis in Display Names. it makes me wonder if it is viewer code only that needs some tweaking.

Good points about the history as I take advantage of that ability to go afk for a few minutes for some people who i know type slowly.

Considering how often you use them in the forums for your reactions, I would think it would be even for you.😁 P.S If people are actually starting to use Discord in S/L for the ability to have some simple text options, then it really might be an idea to look at updating something that should be reasonably simple to add.

For me I just find text is more immersive and that people on voice are often not really paying attention to what is going on inworld but I suppose judging by the youtube video I just watched, it isn't the case for everyone.

If emojis slow the use of ASCII art emotes, then I am all for it. They are certainly less intrusive as long as it is just the small ones. We supposedly want the viewers updated and yet complain when anyone makes suggestions for doing so.

Well in that case you have the option of the Lumiya viewer which is quite good for a mobile viewer though there are some aspects like animations which no longer appear to work in the 3d scene, though other people see the avatar animating. LL no longer lists it as a TPV but they don't seem to have issues with people using it. I myself log 10 or so hours a week on it. SlideMe still has a download for it and it is the site the official Lumiya site lists as a backup if it is no longer available on Google Play (which it isn't.) That should work fine on your phone though I can't attest to whether it does on the Chrome book. The other option as someone already mentioned is using a live Linux version on a usb stick on your regular computer and downloading a linux release of Firestorm or any other TPV that has one, onto it. I've experimented with that in past and it is a workable option too.

Haven't tried it but there is this fairly recent release for a Firestorm based VR viewer: https://gsgrid.de/firestorm-vr-mod/

/me closes my closet door to hide all the micro minis 😏

@Noa Noland I do know @Oz Linden is interested in viewer current log files when one has experienced multiple failed teleports, so a suggestion would be to save that log file before you close the viewer and send it to him so he can use it to narrow down the issues being experienced.

What are you using while your computer is down then?

Can do the same with the inworld browser. I find that more convenient instead of having to tab in and out of S/L.

I liked that back in the olden days, there was more mod permissions that allowed one to tailor some outfits to suit individual tastes. Not sure if that's what you meant already but if not, got it covered!

Being a mobile essential worker that allows me to drive around the countryside everyday. Prevents me from going stir crazy sitting at home.

Double standards bordering on the hypocrisy.

This is where the far leftist has issues with intersectionality to the point their heads explode. They seemingly can only be polite with one minority at a time since common courtesy is not a normal part of their nature.

Yes, feels the same to me though at least it isn't a whole copy paste with a huge font like her previous post. That hurt my eyes! The 30,000 dying each year from a lack of health care is a fuzzy number pulled from Bernie: Fuzzy math fuels Sanders’ claim that cost barriers to health care kill 30,000 a year Not good when even Politifact questions where those numbers are pulled from. Obligatory meme

I haven't read anything in previous posts that mentioned criminal prosecutions of immigrants, just whether they were being given the same rights if not more then ones who have followed proper channels for entry. The rest is your imagination. Try this non biased definition: Identity politics definition is - politics in which groups of people having a particular racial, religious, ethnic, social, or cultural identity tend to promote their own specific interests or concerns without regard to the interests or concerns of any larger political group. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/identity politics In regards to how you often present your posts, it is in how you will throw one group under the bus when you are trying to promote another group as being stepped on. So in this case of promoting illegal immigrants and how they are so hard done by the current political powers, you wind up stepping all over the rights of the poor and unemployed Americans that you will surely be making a case for next week. From you I get the distinct impression that you really have very little compassion for the poor and downtrodden to be treated in a fair and equitable manner, because the various groups you make a case for, you are really just using as leverage for your party to try and attain power through the attempted guilt and manipulation you seem to excel at. If a minimum wage is the solution, why didn't Obama institute it when he had the power to do so? Seems obvious then that a Dem president won't resolve that. And newsflash: Corporations are supposed to be seeking profit for their shareholders and continued solvency and Government regulators work out the policies set by the political party in current power. That in turn is supposedly set by the people who support and vote them into power. Strikes me that the GoP by limiting immigration will benefit its citizens by reducing the numbers of employable unskilled laborers.
