ho, I dont know a lot in all that , I thought the Humvee was a very big american Jeep, never heard it was french, but if it is, it sur they will love it , even if it is not so pretty as a 1959' Cadillac :-)
For now the channel is not broadcasting it, maybe later in the year I hope... they are in "Goldrush Alaska" ... :-/ I confess I'm not on it a lot ... as I don't like cold and know I will never had this gold... ;-) (and it is boring!)

Assuming that you find a way to make these bypasses really monitored, who will decide on the relevance of these protections and possible consequences? For example, someone who makes a big store in OS with articles all coming from SL without authorization from the creators and decides to appropriate them will he be able to decide to annihilate someone who has had the audacity to bypass the protection of his own theft?
BTW, I would like to know the number of creators who have given such authorizations elsewhere... if there are any!
This is where I see the limit of a certain hypocrisy that seems to exist on a large scale in OS ...
And for real creators in OS like Rhowin, how to validate the real originality of an article or code? describe the whole creation procedure with a deposit at the INPI? (French intellectual property organization of which all countries surely have an equivalent)
It is unfortunately very difficult to get to this point.

There are lots of creators who sell mesh and templates that make them available to OpenSim creators for legitimate use. Of course thats not the always the "new stuff" that is fed into OpenSim ad-nauseum from SL. IMO this all comes down to following the law. Doing the right thing. Instead of making excuses for all the little grey areas where it must be ok to steal this since I'm only using it for personal use. yada yada.

There are "many" type of God mode users. About 3 months ago I knew nothing about God mode and copybots, I arrived from SL in OpenSim on a grid where we were given God mode right away and the links for DarkStrom! Without explaining anything to us! We immediately saw this as confirmation that OS was a world of hypocritical copycats. I won't tell you all the details here but it ended badly. All I want to say is that things that go without saying are better said: explanatory notes for newbies or hard of hearing would be welcome in many cases! In many grids we are left to our own devices and it is without malice that we manage to do stupid things (in my case to make backup on my other account)... Of course there are also those who want to intentionally steal and everything we can say to them will not change them and your protection seems very essential, believing in the benevolence and recognition of people is very illusory...
The main thing I remember is that your script was put on the SL marketplace? It is really the worst that can be done to you because here it is really about taking money from it... beside to take advantage of you knowing on the code.
Anyway I am glad that it does not discourage you from continuing to script for OS :-) thank you

Yes, OpenSim's on-boarding that covers the entire range of questionable to not accessible to newbies to non-existent in the first place is its very own topic. I mean, it's shown often enough that even SL converts struggle after joining OpenSim.
And the on-boarding is the first impression that someone gets of OpenSim.

Thank you, Ankh! I avoided explaining God Mode in my post, as I didn't want there to be a rush of new users abusing the system, so to speak, but between it and CopyBot viewers, there's a lot of crazy going on that most people aren't familiar with. I honestly thought about creating my own version of a "Welcome to OS" region with more than just signs on how to walk, talk, and interact, but have avoided it because I didn't want to overload new folks with more information than they actually need. Perhaps I'll eventually follow through with an "Advance Your Knowledge of OS" region. đ
And yes, it was put up for sale on MP, which is what ultimately brought me to this point. To "steal" my work by making it full perm is one thing, to claim it as your own and then profit from it is another.

Yes it is not the goal here to go into details but with the tutorials on the net or even the instructions in OSGrid explaining how to make your sim on your PC you can very quickly get to know all that without knowing anything about it (even more when arriving on a grid like the one I fell...) and especially when being curious like I am... But once again it will only be useful to those who are willing to read and follow the instructions. The main interest would be that no one could say they were not aware! Like a contract or a disclaimer. The ideal world of a well-understood Anarchy is unfortunately only in the realm of Utopia... Maybe one day.... we can dream
But for now even in a small community like here you can't hope that people will behave like you do, unfortunately.

I actually ended up redoing this project completely, which is why there was never any news about it. It's one of my large projects I'm currently finishing up on, so I may need a few more volunteers. For now, all testing is done on my end, but so far so good, so be sure to keep an eye out for a future release post!

Eh no one is requiring her to love anyone. Supporting equal human rights is what this is about.

Why not let everyone here think what they want? Will debating or demonstrating anything here change the world? Even this virtual one? At best, you will be read by a few dozen people (and I am very optimistic!) and many of them, if they understand you (and it has not always been the case for me since I am French...) there is a very good chance that none of them will change their mind!
Why bring real problems here? I will never understand! We have the opinions we want, and sometimes it is worth fighting for our ideas. But only when it can be useful for something, in the real world! (for example for our elections, in France or later in the USA!).
Here, it should be a haven of peace, where we come to forget our worries, create things more or less original but which will always please some (and first of all its creator!), discover other's creations all arround the HyperGrid or simply be able to talk with people from the other side of the world (a little too English-speaking for my taste ;-).
Keep cool (calm?) and live and let live!

Why can't others just scroll by when another person does something or speaks out for the rights of a marginalized group? Perhaps you need to do a bit of research on Pride to get it. No, I won't post links; do it yourself. Just use Google. And yes, debating and demonstrating DO make a difference! Without debating and demonstrating, we would have had suffrage or the Civil Rights Act in the USA. We wouldn't have seen an end to the Viet Nam War when we did. That is the REAL meaning of free speech - the right to ASSEMBLE and EXPRESS a dissenting view. NOT hate speech! Clearly, this post didn't apply to you. MOVE ON.

By supporting Xpletive you condone his behaviour. We are known by those whose company we keep. But of course, it's your prerogative.
liked(2)
Another one who just does not get it. Xpletive is a fascist. I wish there were other words I could use, but there are not. Are you telling me that you support fascism? I doubt that you do, so I suggest thinking on it. What you're suggesting is that a blind eye should be cast... Fascism goes way beyond objectionable, it is an affront to humanity.
I am not normally given to hatred, I'm tolerant and understanding, but toleration of evil is a crime. Were Xpletive a child, of course I'd condone attempts to steer them away, but clearly they are not, but have made a conscious choice. They are completely and utterly culpable
All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.

Whilst I strongly disagree that dogmatism in this context is any kind of precursor to becoming a tyrant or fascist, I concur with the idea that the true evil of fascism is that ultimately we have to use the methods of fascism to combat it. It does not allow for any other approach. Of course, should someone who is a fascist recant and change their ways, all power and respect to them.
However, the best way of avoiding the need to denounce fascism or fascists is for societies and groups to do that work by default so that fascist voices are always challenged.
Again, I fond myself quite flabbergasted that you fail to grasp the gravity of this issue.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outâbecause I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak outâbecause I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outâbecause I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meâand there was no one left to speak for me."

Nope, women were not allowed to vote in most of ancient Greece, including in Athens. Nor could they own land on their own. Aristotle claimed women were incapable of making important decisions themselves. Athenian woman had little opportunity in economic and legal life, including politics. The big exception was Sparta. That was a whole different show. Women could not only vote and hold office and go to court, but held immense power all of their own.

To add more detail to your excellent comment...
The disadvantage of being female in ancient Athena began at birth. The Athenians would, at times, kill their kids. âHistorians believe that girls were at a higher risk of infanticide because of their gender, as most families preferred to have at least one healthy boy who could inherit their lands and fortuneâ.
So, that sucks.
Girls âdid not receive any formal education because it was focused exclusively on boys. Boys were educated to play a role in the political and military life of the city-state of Athens. Due to this, the education of girls and women was seen as useless.â
But girls did learn how to cook, clean, and sew! So, thatâs something. The thing is that â...the role of women was to marry and have children. Ensuring that the family continues on was the parentsâ main concern, especially fathers, as they would not want the family fortune to disappear. To secure their legacy, fourteen-year-old girls would be married to older men usually chosen by their fathers or another male relative. Thus, girls would not choose their husbands nor have any influence over the matterâ.

But they could vote, right? Wrong. The fact is that, in Athens. women had no independent existence in the eyes of the law, leading Plato to propose that women should be given the same education as men, the same access to the law courts, the same rights to own and inherit property, to hold public office, to compete in athletics and to live and work as equals to men.
Didnât happen.
