I think that believing we are the only planet that has life in the incredible vastness of the universe is stupid. We like to think we are unique but really.. billions of billions of planets and not one that has life? At a level at least as intelligent as us? I think they are out there. But exactly because the universe is so vast, chances of meeting them or even detecting their presence are slim to zero. In the unlikely event they do come close enough to visit us, they need technology way more advanced than we possess. Plus, who says they are even detectable with our technology, even if they're here? they may exist in a dimension we can't detect. Mostly I think that, to a species that advanced, we are just not interesting. A planet on the brink of major natural disaster, brought about by the negligence and arrogance of its dominant species that is busier with hating and killing each other off than it is with saving their habitat. On a universal scale, we are a colony of self destructing fools not worth a visit. Typical case of avoid, avoid, avoid.

Why anyone would come to an amusement park naked is beyond me but apparently it happens? As opposed to what Arielle pointed out: yes sometimes we end up actually naked, seeming naked on our own screen but actually fully dressed, or seeming naked to others when we teleport. I often have to check my inventory to doublecheck my clothes are still on even if I don't see them, and then I can only hope others see them while I happily shop or explore in my birthday suit on my own screen. The joys of Opensim!

I truly wonder how much of this will actually affect Opensim. let's not overlook the fact that this was announced in a talk with Sl creators, who of course expect Linden Labs to take action against their content being stolen. Anyone having worked in corporate environments knows that often, there is a big discrepancy between what the say, and what they actually DO.
Opensim, compared to SL, is really small if you compare the number of users. Its economy is even smaller given that the large majority of its content is offered for free. And the people who do sell stuff for money are usually the actual creator of said stuff. Why set up a large and costly operation to identify and go after copybotted content in Opensim. For Linden labs, it makes a lot more sense to go after the actual copybotting SL accounts and ban them/take legal action where possible. That is overseeable, and eradicates the problem at its root. But once the stuff already is in Opensim? It would be like firing missiles at mosquitos. Too much work, too costly, chances at hitting the actual target are slim and most of all: not worth it. Just my 2 cents.

As I've just posted: The Lab won't go investigate themselves.
"There will be a new category of support ticket added for reporting alleged instances of content theft"
Anyone can squeal on anyone. And they WILL.
I mean, everyone can lie back and relax and say, "They ain't gonna do nothin'."
But it takes one user to file a support ticket on SL about R. Lion or Darkhearts. And that SL assets worth probably over L$1,000,000 are available there for free. Chances are good the whole respective grid will be a goner. And everyone involved will be tracked down by the FBI and, if necessary, international investigators.
One thing I can tell you: The instance that the first OpenSim user is busted for 'botting, all hell will break loose. For one, most of the bigger grids will start scrubbing. But besides, this new support ticket category will be used as a weapon of mass destruction against sims or entire grids by whoever doesn't like them. Freebie store owners will rat on other freebie store owners just to get rid of the competition. Old inter-grid wars will start anew, but this time, there are actually effective weapons with which to destroy both entire grids and their owners once and for all.

Jupiter, do you really believe what you write here? Secondlife is at the end. Even Roleplayers are gone now. Look in SL. It looks almost empty like opensim. We are the last stand to preserve what Secondlife meant for a generation. Old people now. In 10 years Secondlife won't exist anymore. Perhaps even 5. Look at Worlds com. They shut down their website last year. Worlds com existed 30 years!!!! and was for-runner for Secondlife in the 90s. It looked the same as Secondlife looked in early years and this in the 90s.
Secondlife supported all the decades Firestorm and all around and benefit from all the people who were just there. Not only creators of content. Just to show that lot of people want a VR and have fun with it. Now time is over and even Zuck saw that he threw his billion Dollars for a mateverse in garbage.
Lindenlabs had their time to make money and now the business is over. That's it. Read this article.

Friends Grid is amazing. it runs on kickass hardware, Safine and ZuZu really take care of us and are very helpful if we have a problem, need to find something etc. The free parcels that are as big as a whole Sim let me build, and build, and then some. I love living here, there is so much to do and to explore and the people are great. Highly recommend.

I found a box full at Modaplaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/91367) so there might be something useful in there :). It's in the section where the mesh bodies, heads etc. are.

Hello Taj, for both buildings and scenery like plants etc. try Trianon's Home & Gardens (https://opensimworld.com/hop/91088). For more buildings that might work; AMv Houses (https://opensimworld.com/hop/84895), Maze of the Mind Free Houses (https://opensimworld.com/hop/92325) or Little Big City (https://opensimworld.com/hop/93291). Animesh animals: Trails (https://opensimworld.com/hop/87715) has a lot of those. Hope you find what you need!

AhAh, I doubt that Google will be able to translate it. Truly. Google will not be able to digest the dialect.
Just one example of words that you can find in the roman of R. Brun. Yenche : the orthographe is an attempt to translate what is said phonetically. It means : «rien que », depending of context it could be translated in English by « only that » or simply « only »

Choisissez toujours votre propre bonheur et si cela signifie bloquer des personnes ou ne pas participer du tout à ce site Web… c'est un choix valable. Vous êtes une personne très gentille, serviable et chaleureuse et vous ne devriez pas avoir à faire face à ce type de misère. Laissez les haineux vous haïr et continuez à être votre incroyable moi. Gros câlins !

Yes, true. John Lennon's "Imagine" didn't bring world peace, either. But still I believe sharing good vibes and expressing the sentiment that we are SO tired of all the hatred here can't be a bad thing.
