Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/01/linden-lab-sl-ip-rights-...
https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

70s Music TV Party
Sat., Sept. 6th 12 PM Noon Grid Time
GroovyVerse hop://groovyverse.com:8002/Snug Harbor/326/281/22

This party is a tribute to the 1970s hit TV show "The Midnight Special". We will be listening, watching, and dancing to a live stream on a huge TV screen! It will be a compilation of some of the show’s greatest artists.

The Midnight Special (1973–1981) was a late-night music show, hosted by Wolfman Jack, that aired on Fridays at midnight. Famous for bringing rock, pop, soul, and folk to television, it stood out by featuring live, raw performances instead of lip-syncing. With stars like David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Aretha Franklin, and The Bee Gees, it captured the spirit of the 1970s music scene and remains a cultural landmark of the decade.

It will be hosted by Koshari Mahana and Passion Jumanji in GroovyVerse, owned by Hyacith Jean.

We hope to see you there! Come as you are or dress in you favorite 1970s clothes. Everyone is welcome, tell your friends!

I posted in the forum today some thoughts about Age Verification and OpenSim wondering what you guys are doing with it.

Age Verification strategies for OpenSimulator and the HG
Since there are 24 US states and the UK requiring age verification it seems this is going to inevitably change the way OpenSimulator functions. Denying it, protesting, waiting for it to go away, or saying it's impossible - won't last long in my opinion. I think the EU will probably follow suit with laws.

I personally think Geofencing is boo-boo and doesn't work. Right now you'd have to block half the USA and all of the UK and then comes EU. Might as well just unplug and go home I guess.

So i'm thinking about what I need to do on my grids. Here are the strategy/rules i've been thinking about and would love feedback.

A message to all Members and those that visit from other grids.

Inworld profiles do not work, my grid uses Jopensim and joomla and below are a few factors related to this issue. (I am not sure which version of dreamgrid this stopped working.

Foto the creator of jopensim is no longer invested in keeping this project alive. He has said he is done and his website is no longer active. I also assume grid is gone too but i have not checked it. https://www.jopensim.com/index.php

Joomla needs to be updated, however more important thing like getting opensim in dreamgrid stable is way more important. Maybe in the future once things behave things can be upgraded. Fred works very hard at what he does and this is a Fred fix. Please be patient as Fred works very hard and has more important things with dreamgrid at the moment. I am very grateful for what he does

If anyone who uses Dreamgrid with joomla/jopensim has found a solution please let me know. (will not roll back to previous version, code is old and fred no longer supports it)

I am very grateful for all the hard work people put in to allowing those of us to run a grid in opensim.

OPENSIM Online Weather SYSTEM RECALL - FOR THOSE who came to FLORA since I have first posted about this product:

I have just fixed (final tweaks I hope) on the Lightning add-on (the Thunderbox). There are 4 boxes, invisbile, that I forgot to resize it to the mininum possible (0.0001m) so they won`t show up when the thunder sound and lightning are triggered.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Once again... one should never release a new product at 3.am lolol

Hey guys, I cleaned up my inventory and packed all the drug items into boxes and put them on display at Needful Things. They're waiting for you in the back room of the coffee shop. These are just decorative items, the stuff doesn't really pack a punch. There are also things at the front of the coffee shop that will definitely make your avatar stagger... Have fun with them!
* * * * *
Hallo Leute, ich habe mal mein Inventar aufgeräumt und sämtliche Drogenartikel in Boxen gepackt und auf Needful Things ausgestellt. Sie warten auf euch im Hinterzimmer des Coffeeshops. Es handelt sich dabei nur um Dekoware, das Zeug knallt nicht wirklich rein. Es gibt vorn im Coffeshop auch Sachen, die euren Avatar durchaus zum Wanken bringen... Viel Spaß damit!

Get ready to strip down and turn up.
Live DEEJAY' s will take you on a two-hour ride of high-energy beats.

Bikinis, bare skin, and beats that don’t quit.

This is the night to break loose, own your freedom, and dance like nothing’s off-limits.
Be there, or hear about it later.

I spent the afternoon in my workshop making this handy device. You place your victim on the table, and press the green button on the table saw to start the blade turning. There's a handy work lamp attached that casts a nice shadow on the floor of the blade turning to let your victim know you mean business. It's good leverage to get information from them or to cause them to worry about what you might do to them. If you press the green button on the handle it will start the table feed operation which moves the victim toward the saw blade. As the table continues to move the victim toward the blade their internal fluids shoot up into the air. After you have finished with them you can dispose the remaining parts in the included barrel.

Come test it out and get your copy at Modern Torture shop at Stark Red Light District. Full perm.. contact if you have questions or need help.

The new Mayan Aristocrat House is available in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. While I'm using this same build as a shop building, the original was based on a Mayan Aristocrat's "Mayor's House". It's a simple build that is one large room, and it is full perm so you can add too it if you want a 2nd floor, and you can change the textures. The textures that are on it were made via my Magic Studio AI Art program. If you pick it up, I hope you will like it, as it will add character to any region it is used in. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Sabaton – Chronisten des Schlachtfelds

In den letzten Tagen des 20. Jahrhunderts, genauer gesagt im Jahr 1999, formierte sich in der schwedischen Stadt Falun eine Band, die das Genre des Power Metal nachhaltig prägen sollte. Ursprünglich unter dem Namen Aeon gegründet, vereinten sich fünf junge Musiker mit einer gemeinsamen Vision: Joakim Brodén als Sänger und Keyboarder, Pär Sundström am Bass, die Gitarristen Oskar Montelius und Rikard Sundén sowie Schlagzeuger Richard Larsson. Diese Konstellation sollte den Grundstein für eine der erfolgreichsten schwedischen Metal-Bands aller Zeiten legen.
