Deepseek R1 is the Chinese open source LLM which shocked silicon valley. You can run it locally on your computer without internet connection and get also API to connect and develop it on your computer by yourself for all tasks you may want it should do. Right now DeepSeek is the best AI you can get as open source local usable AI. Here a description how to do it. It is working fast even without super Nvidia GPU graphic card and it doesn't need much. Much less than all other as hardware resources.

You can also get DeepSeek with GPT4all and you don't need to have any skills. There were first some problems but now with newest GPT4all it seems all is fixed for DeepSeek.

Looking for buildings to bring a city alive :) I am thinking: police station, fire station, restaurants, bars, stores with stuff in them in short.. scenery for in between the real stores and houses. Any ideas, oh gurus of findstuffz?

About four years ago I found Fred's Gif2SL tutorial and wanted to try it with fish, and it worked perfectly, you can find all sorts of animated fish, bugs, butterflies, etc that you can create beautiful animated gif creatures inworld. It is how I created my ants to walk on my countertop, and here is how:
Check out sites like Giphy for your gifs and save to hard drive, please read directions below.




How to Use GIF2SL to Animate Textures in OpenSim

Animating textures on a prim in OpenSim can add dynamic visuals to your builds, and the GIF2SL app makes it easy to bring GIFs into the virtual world. Follow these simplified steps based on Fred Beckhusen's directions.

Step 1: Download and Install GIF2SL

Download the GIF2SL app from Fred’s site. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/gif/Create-Gif-in-S...

Extract the downloaded files and ensure the application is ready to use.

Step 2: Convert Your GIF

Open GIF2SL and load your desired GIF file.

The app will automatically extract frames and generate a .png file containing frame data.

Save the output files to a folder for easy access.

Step 3: Upload Frames to OpenSim

Log into OpenSim: Use your viewer to log into the region where you want to use the GIF.

Upload Frames: Upload the PNG frames generated by GIF2SL and name them sequentially (e.g., frame_01, frame_02, etc.).

Step 4: Animate the Texture on a Prim

Rez a Prim: Create a cube or another prim in-world.

Add the generated gif texture to contents, then

Apply a Script: Insert Fred's animation script into prim.

By following these steps, you can bring animated GIFs to life in OpenSim with ease. For more details and troubleshooting, visit Fred’s site linked above.

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V3 - Updated Release! ****

What's New:
• Fixed last UUID sound issue (to improve performance in OpenSim).
• Piano dialog now visible to everyone (not just the owner).
• New "ALL" notecard to play all 40 tracks in sequence (*).
• Improved sound quality with louder and stereo output.


(*) It takes on average 02 minutes to load them all and there is a 10 seconds pause between a music to another.

Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script and I could share to Opensim citizens,

Enjoy :)

Funsize Dinkies Roadtrip is back after a Christmas Break... Today the Dinkies headed off to Pepperland I & II.
(Can be found at https://opensimworld.com/hop/79336 )

A fantastic Region with lots to see and alot of hard work has gone into the Story being told on there to follow. Pepperland is the creation by Mudpuddle Cleanslate and Chelsea Louloudi, of many scenes from Yellow Submarine... a 1968 British animated musical fantasy comedy film inspired by the music of the Beatles.

The Funsize Dinkies loved the every moment on this Region.

Hello everyone, friends!
We would like to inform you that our Mall will be temporarily closed to the public for expansion work. We are making these improvements primarily for you, who have shown us great affection through your messages of support and encouragement.
We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we will reopen as soon as possible.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

The staff at New Life Italy....

I'm tired of the Opensim or OSW atmosphere.
I'm tired of always trying to be normal and nice and seeing people, strangers, or worse, so-called "friends" spend their time wanting to hurt or denigrate everything and anyone for no reason!
In addition, I had stupidly thought that this end of year and New Year period could be conducive to more kindness and perhaps even a return of some to more kind behavior.
Of course this was not the case at all on the contrary. So I did some cleaning in my contacts and will continue to do so, it tires me not knowing when someone will go from a normal friendly dialogue to attacks!

The latest one: in the morning I was very happy that a certain Marianna was passing by my Scorpion Island, she had promised me but we had not spoken about it again since long. Well she only spent 50 seconds but I was also happy that she talked about it in The Box...
A little later I had a troll in my french post about the easy configuration of a grid, troll saying that there was nothing new (what I never claimed. But go on to find something like that in french just to laugh....) and giving a link that I had given myself in the post, I sent him away and he blocked me and threatened me in The Box. I went to answer him in The Box with my other account (not blocked which seeing all his craps ) and the very dear Marianna came to complain and break me because I was "talking to myself" (which is totally false!)... These two morons who clearly do not understand anything, and especially not French (the troll even took me for an American!), allowing themselves to put their two cents in everything, are pissing me off!!!

Trolls, sick women or men, let me go! I will no longer take gloves, I will no longer be the second to block idiots, I will no longer participate in anything common here or in OS. I will only do what I want to do! Now if I hurt someone, too bad! Almost no one has been too careful with me!

And for the wishes: have the year you all deserve!! And if it turns out to be bad for the idiots I met, I admit that it won't make me cry!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J'en ai marre de l'ambiance d'Opensim ou OSW.
J'en ai marre de toujours essayer d'être normale et gentille et de voir des gens, des inconnus, ou pire, des soi-disant "amis" passer leur temps à vouloir blesser ou dénigrer tout et n'importe quoi sans raison !
De plus, j'avais bêtement pensé que cette période de fin d'année et de nouvel an pouvait être propice à plus de bienveillance et peut-être même à un retour de certains à des comportements plus bienveillants.
Bien sur, ce ne fut pas du tout le cas, au contraire. J'ai donc fais du ménage dans mes contacts et continuerai à en faire, ça me fatigue de ne pas savoir quand quelqu'un passera d'un dialogue "amical" normal à des attaques !

La dernière en date : le matin j'étais très contente qu'une certaine Marianna passe par mon île Scorpion, elle me l'avait promis mais on n'en avait plus reparlé. Bon elle n'a passé que 50 secondes mais j'étais aussi contente qu'elle en parle dans The Box...
Un peu plus tard j'ai eu un troll dans mon post en français (!) sur la configuration facile d'une grille, troll disant qu'il n'y avait rien de nouveau (ce que je n'ai jamais prétendu, mais cherchez ça en français pour rire....) et donnant un lien que j'avais donné moi-même dans le post. Je l'ai renvoyé paître, il m'a bloquée puis menacée dans The Box. Je suis allée lui répondre avec mon autre compte (non bloqué ce qui me permettait de voir ses attaques) et la très chère Marianna est venue se plaindre et me casser parce que je me "parlais à moi-même" (ce qui est totalement faux !)... Ces deux abrutis qui ne comprennent clairement rien, et surtout pas le français (le troll m'a même prise pour une américaine !), se permettant de mettre leur grain de sel dans tout, me saoulent !!!

Trolls, femmes ou hommes malades, lâchez moi ! Je ne prendrai plus de gants, je ne serai plus la deuxième a bloquer les cons, je ne participerai plus à quoi que ce soit de commun ici ou dans OS. Je ne ferai que ce dont j'ai envie MOI ! Maintenant si j'en blesse, tant pis ! Personne ou presque n'a prit trop de gant avec moi !

Et pour les voeux : ayez donc tous l'année que vous méritez !! Et si elle se trouve être mauvaise pour les cons que j'ai croisés, j'avoue que ça ne me fera pas pleurer !

@JamieAnna Wright reminded me this morning of my art exhibit I created when she placed her Dali clock out at the Dingleberry Dump! OH Yes!! I remember I created an exhibit titled Persistence of Memory by Dali. I rezzed it at SkyRealm and can be viewed here:
