So about all this theft of stolen goods ... I have rebuilt regions from my saved oars, and in the process inadvertently losing the original creator (uploader ... thief? ) information, so now my name appears as creator. My stuff is mostly free to copy but I don't run a store or offer support. I don't even remember where in the hypergrid most of it came from. While I apologize to those who did the hard work ripping and fixing , at the same time I am grateful to be able to tweak and modify, share and transfer to my hearts content. This is why i am in opensim.

I run a successful business in SL, and have seen some of my created goods from SL appearing in here. So what - I.m not losing sales by being ripped, nor is anyone making money in here with my stolen creations. I realize the fuss in here is about Fame (since money has little meaning in opensim) so this is my disclaimer. Sorry if my name appears on 'your' stuff.

It's time to party on Rocky Shores beach and dig our toes in the sand! Thursday, August 14, 4 P.M (grid time) - 6 P.M. (grid time) Dance & laugh and listen to the music of the time. Let's forget all the drama in rl for two hours and have some fun. Dress as you wish.

🧒 PHNX x BK – Vier Outfits, ein frecher Blick:
„Ich zieh nicht an, was passt. Ich zieh an, was knallt.“

Hier wird nicht kombiniert – hier wird rebelliert:
🕶️ Sonnenbrillen auf dem Shirt? Klar, weil die Sonne Konkurrenz braucht.
😼 Katze mit Shades? Weil Miau allein zu wenig sagt.
🌈 Streifenkleid? Weil Einfarbig für Erwachsene ist.
💙 Blaues Top mit Shorts? Weil Sommer kein Wetter, sondern ein Statement ist.

BK-Mode für Kinder, die nicht fragen „Darf ich?“ – sondern sagen „Guck mal!“

A curious message landed in my inbox today, bringing to light a common frustration within the virtual world: someone had picked up a Xara body on a specific grid and was stumped by its "Auto Alpha" feature. My immediate thought was, "Well, you should really go back to the grid where you acquired it and ask them for assistance." And if they can't provide the answers, it truly highlights a significant issue: why are entities distributing freebies of products they clearly don't understand or support themselves? This ongoing problem underscores precisely why, if you're genuinely seeking a LaraX or Xara body, it's always best to come directly to the source. Let's be clear: Vesti is the original creator of the Xara body, and any other versions or distributions you encounter are, frankly, the work of thieves. Ultimately, for genuine support, authentic products, and the true understanding of features like "Auto Alpha," trusting the original maker is paramount, as all other offerings are merely unauthorized imitations.

Most of the noise about “theft” tends to come from people who are also moving content around that wasn’t theirs to begin with.

In OpenSim, the ones who actually make original work from scratch usually don’t waste time on witch hunts. They know the culture: once it’s out there, it’s going to walk. Instead, they keep building, share because they want to, and let their reputation speak for them.

The real creators aren’t guarding the door—they’re busy building the house.

And last but not least (for maybe quite a while), we bring you the important historical work "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is a powerful anti-slavery novel that follows the intertwined fates of Uncle Tom, a devout and kind-hearted enslaved man, and Eliza, a mother fleeing with her son to escape being sold. The novel, published in 1852, vividly portrays the cruelties of slavery and its devastating impact on families, while also highlighting themes of Christian faith and the struggle for redemption.

Next up is one of Nicholas Sparks' finest novels, A Walk to Remember!

"A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks tells the story of Landon Carter, a popular high school senior in Beaufort, North Carolina, who falls for the quiet, religious Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister. Landon initially sees Jamie as the last person he would ever date, but their unlikely relationship blossoms after he gets into trouble and is forced to participate in the school play, where Jamie is also involved. As they spend more time together, Landon begins to see Jamie's inner beauty and strength, and they fall deeply in love. The story explores themes of love, faith, and redemption, as Landon confronts his own prejudices and learns profound life lessons from Jamie. The novel is inspired by Sparks's sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, and her courage in the face of illness.

The next fine selection brought to you by the Homelandz Public Library is Zoo by James Patterson!

The novel centers on Jackson Oz, an outcast among professional and academic ecologists and biologists. Oz has tried for years to get other scientists to listen to the data he has collected on the increasing number of mammal attacks on humans. He becomes so obsessed with this goal that he quits graduate school and devotes himself to full-time data collection and arguing his case. Finally, on a trip to Botswana, he survives an attack by a large band of male lions in which about 100 people are killed over a large area. He saves the life of ecologist Chloe Tousignant. Upon returning to America, he finds his girlfriend dead in his apartment, killed and partly eaten by his pet chimpanzee.

Five years later, Oz has married Chloe and they have a son named Eli. His theory becomes accepted, as all over the world, packs of animals are entering densely populated cities and killing humans en masse. He is recruited by the US president to research the cause, but before he and his team of scientists can find an answer, the president's daughter is killed by their dog, and the military launches strikes against affected cities, which worsens the attacks. Continuing his research, Oz discovers that animal pheromones have changed due to the widespread use of radio communication (cell phones) and petroleum products (notably automobile exhaust), and these disrupted pheromones are enlarging the animals' amygdalas and causing the aggression. The US president orders all electricity, cellphone, and automobile usage banned for two weeks, and animal attacks cease nearly immediately as the ban takes effect. But after one week, people return to their previous habits, and the attacks restart with increased ferocity. Oz, his wife and son, along with some scientists and political leaders, are evacuated to Thule, Greenland, where research into how to reverse the changes will take place.

Join us on Tues. Aug., 12th at 6 PM Grid Time for an evening of fun and friendly competition. Play Greedy, Parcheesi, Yahtzee, Uno, Simon, chess, checkers, arcade games, bowling, bingo, and more. Bring friends or meet new ones—there’s a game for everyone.

Approaching alpha. As that point draws closer, my work starts on promotional graphics and the visual design of the game. I came to Opensim from SL years ago to have the opportunity to work on a larger canvas and push the boundaries. Now I will have the largest canvas imaginable and I'm excited.

The developer and I met several years ago here on Opensim and collaborated on several fun projects, becoming fast friends. We developed the expanded concept for Starlite here, hoping to create and streamline a fork of OS code to fit our vision, but that was not possible. With the exception of the Vulkan renderer, everything else for Starlite was written from scratch.

V for Vendetta (Graphic Novel) by Alan Moore & David LLoyd:

V for Vendetta is a British graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd (with additional art by Tony Weare). Initially published between 1982 and 1985 in black and white as an ongoing serial in the British anthology Warrior, its serialisation was completed in 1988–89 in a ten-issue colour limited series published by DC Comics in the United States. Subsequent collected editions were typically published under DC's specialised imprint, Vertigo, until that label was shut down in 2018. Since then it has been transferred to DC Black Label. The story depicts a dystopian and post-apocalyptic near-future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s, preceded by a nuclear war in the 1980s that devastated most of the rest of the world. The Nordic supremacist,neo-fascist,outwardly Christofascistic, and homophobic fictional Norsefire political party has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps, and it now rules the country as a police state.

The comics follow the story's title character and protagonist, V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, as he begins an elaborate and theatrical revolutionist campaign to kill his former captors, bring down the fascist state, and convince the people to abandon fascism in favour of anarchy, while inspiring a young woman, Evey Hammond, to be his protégée.

The X in Sex - by David Bainbridge (How the X Chromosome Controls Our Lives)

"The X in Sex" by David Bainbridge explores the history and impact of the X chromosome, a tiny piece of genetic information that determines sex and influences various aspects of life, from disease susceptibility to cultural perceptions of gender. The book delves into how the X chromosome evolved, how it interacts with the Y chromosome, and how it shapes our understanding of human evolution and nature.

Dear friends,

today i will play some music again, mainly from 70ies to 90ies.
The location is the festival market again.

The party starts at 21 h in Europe means Noon Grid Time.
https://opensimworld.com/events/124994

This market is open for you to make publicity for your events, products, locations or services.
Just put your stuff in one of the free little shops.
Concerning the play money, is it confusing that it cant be exchanged to Euros
and only is a internal currency to play with?
Please tell me what you think of these cozy dollars?
We could stop using them and set all to 0 units....

Second topic is the information that i updated 7 skyboxes on osgrid at Toscanila!
If you have an osgrid account you can rent these skyboxes and set home there.
Without osgrid account you can still rent but not set home.

Are you a good scripter? I had my first success creating a script with chat gpt for an oracle.
You can come to Festival Market and take a copy of the Oracle....
Feel free to change the questions on the list, the design and whatever you want.
I would need help to create a good visitor profile pictures board and some other projects.

Now for today, bring your friends and surprise us with a hippie outfit if you have...
Maybe there will be optional dresscodes in the future.

today: dress like 70ies!

See you later?
