You do bring up enough politically charged comments yourself Pagane in other threads. Though I agree with you here, I do have to wonder how much of Dorena's political postings are in reaction to your own political biases. Not that it is an excuse or justification but something to keep in mind to prevent the pot calling the kettle black.

Indeed. It seems that any understanding is also at kindergarten level too. The paradox is though that it is those who decry what they call fake news are those who are more likely victims of the real thing disseminated by those who influence them.

Again, Hanah Arendt reminds us:

"The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed."

Looks forward to the next satire post of the current President fondling your tween avatar. Or is that maybe not satire?

A tween is a child between the ages of 8 to 12. There have been numerous serious allegations about Trump from Miss Teen USA contestants, reporting that decades ago, he walked into their dressing rooms while they were partially naked. However, the female person pictured here is obviously neither a tween nor a teen. I doubt you are so stupid as to not see that. Dishonest, yes. But not stupid.

You must not have looked very hard. AA simple Google search brought the original article right up:
"Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as young as 15 — were changing.

"I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’ " said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.

Trump, she recalled, said something like, "Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before."

He freely admitted to all this on Howard Stern.

Perhaps also look up the lawsuit filed against him by a woman who claimed she was raped by him at age 15. It occurred at a party thrown by his buddy Jeffrey Epstein.

Damn auto-correct. Hebophilia, not hemophilia. As I said before, and as reported by Fox News. there were several serious allegations from Miss Teen contestants about Trump walking into their dressing room.
• I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA. Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” Billado said she told Ivanka Trump (Trump’s daughter), about Donald Trump entering the room while the girls were changing their clothes. Billado remembers Ivanka answering, "Yeah, he does that."
• Tasha Dixon, the former Miss Teen Arizona, competed in the 2001 Teen USA pageant. She was 18 at the time and remembers how Trump would “come strolling right in” when girls were “half-naked, changing into [their] bikinis….some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.”
• Three other women, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of getting engulfed in a media firestorm, also remembered Trump entering the dressing room while girls were changing. One said she was clothed and introduced herself to Trump. Two of them said the girls rushed to cover their bodies. One called it “shocking” and “creepy.”
• One of the women who asked to remain anonymous, who was 17, said, “At the time, you’re a teenager, you’re intimidated — it’s Donald Trump, he runs the pageant. We were all very young, but even at the time, it caught us funny.” Now, “as an adult and as a mother,” she said, she considers it “absolutely inappropriate.”
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/former-teen-beauty-q...

At the time, Trump’s campaign denied the allegations. But it did not provide evidence to back its own claim that the accusations were disproved.

In any case, my concern now is about his display of the neurological symptoms of long Covid. The weird is sure getting weirder.

Trump is just a sick criminal, who has been convicted of rape. By rights this pervert should be in prison for a very long time. Hopefully he'll get his just deserts.

No one who considers themselves a decent person should be supporting Trump. If they do, they are as bad as him.

The avatar walks up stairs much better on the UbOde physics then Bulletsim. If one has builds that don't have the physics map, then select the Hybrid option in Dreamgrid or in opensim.ini select the older Meshmeriser option rather then the Ubodemeshmeriser.
like(0)
The point is that the problem exists and Bulletsim is the default physics engine. People from SL will notice how janky things are in comparison.
Have you ever been to the clothing sim Agora on Osgrid? You spawn in a trough with an ankle high lip around the edge that is hard to walk out of. A real person would be able to simply step over it, but here you get stuck like moron walking into a brick wall. In SL you would simply bump over it without an issue.

That, and ubODE is its own can o' worms. It can't handle certain hollow meshes as hollow, and then you can't enter certain buildings although there isn't even a door in your way. That's also what you get for ripping SL content, importing it into OpenSim and never testing it. SL meshes aren't made for ubODE compatibility.

It's possible to work around the stairs issue with BulletSim by adding an invisible diagonal prim to the stairs. But hardly anyone knows this trick, and seriously, who builds anything with prims these days when people would love to be able to "buy" entire ripped SL sims and plop them down in one piece if they could?
like(0)
Most who have been around for a while are well aware of the prim ramp fix and often do that. I've already mentioned the workaround for resolving the issues with ubode. It would have been easy enough for them to have included the original meshmerizer that what only needed four lines of code to be activated. Core in its wisdom decided not to do that and try to insist on a physics map for meshes whereas simply utilizing the mesmerizer option will fix it with no downside that I'm aware of.
liked(1)
Sure I'm well aware that many regions use Bulletsim, either because it is default or one is using it for certain vehicle scripts. The reasons it was left as default is a little involved but the option is available to switch to Ubode physics. Even the Developer Misterblue acknowledges that Ubode is the better physics engine for smoothness of stair climbing and the only physics engine still maintained as he will only do small fixes on Bullet as it has reached its limit of what is possible.

My take is that as active development of Opensim code dropped and turned to a maintenance mode, personal drama increased, especially on sites like Opensimworld. It used to be over at HGB but that seems to have slowed and stopped there as residents became less interested in the technical aspects and turned instead to culture wars of different grids and the lifestyles they engage in.
If Opensim core was to actually do some serious development again, it may trigger a reawakening in the potential of the platform rather then blindly following the way of SL and attract people from SL and beyond in taking part where we have the freedom to adopt or reject the latest fiasco the Lindens are pushing on its residents.
like(0)
I think interest in HGB is because the interest of Maria Korolov in Opensim has waned and the website is now used to promote news of things like VR and AI, which is fine, but the site is a shadow of its former self when all things Opensim were discussed there. Comments there were at least strictly but fairly moderated, something OSW could learn from. The main barrier to Opensim core being under active development is the lack of developers. Up until around 2015 there were quite a large number of very active developers involved in the project and new stable versions of the software were being released several times a year. It's interesting looking at the release history of the Diva Distro. There was a point where there were several releases a year, but now we're lucky if we get a new release every two years.
