I always hear from SL folks that Open Sim is barren by comparison. In my experience, that's simply not true. I usually talk to more people in Open Sim while in world, vs SL. I'm not talking about group chats, there are plenty of those in SL, but talking to people in world, face to face. I get more of that contact in Open Sim. *shrug* just my dumb luck I guess lol 😂

Yes unless you have an established community in SL you can be just as lonely there as in OS.

There could be two reasons for those SL users' perception.
One, they're used to absolutely massive crowds, so they perceive even what happens at big anniversary parties as "only few people here".
Two, like many other OpenSim newbies/non-regulars, they don't know OSW, so they don't know how and where to look up parties and busy places.
If you teleport and/or walk around randomly, it could happen that you meet nobody.

Thanks for keeping Advantis alive, love how you've refreshed it just enough. Glad I don't need to use a PBR viewer yet. :)

Curious... are you implementing any PBR stuff in your sim? Or can I stick to using the non PBR viewer for now? My PC holds up OK while running PBR, for now.

I haven't implemented any pbr on my regions as of yet, so what you're seeing is all materials textures. The new viewer has too many issues so I'm still on the previous version.

So far I'm OK with using PBR. I am running overall in mid-high settings. I keep SSR and Ambient occlusion off. Cool VL and Firestorm have PBR, but only VL can switch that and ALM off. Mirrors are OK for me as long as I don't run above 1024px and show only the 2nd frame or longer.
If you have a 900 series Nvidia GPU, and enough RAM (16 GB or more) I think you can survive the PBR era. Don't use anything less than a i5 CPU, multithreading is necessary for PBR... single core performance will no longer be adequate for SL/OS.

So far my only complaint is just the normal first release growing pains. It has problems unrelated to PBR, like crashing consistently on teleports. That happened with 6.6.17 when they first released it, then a couple weeks later they had cleaned up those issues. Otherwise the NON-PBR stuff does not look strange, or any of the other fears I have seen expressed. The mirror effect is pretty neat, but less ambitious than hoped. It has a slow refresh rate. I saw a mirror hack for Firestorm way back a few years ago, that did a beautiful mirror surface in realtime.

Love it! Bookmarked so I can visit next time I'm in Open Sim... maybe tonight US time if I'm not too busy! Been a Linux user on and off since 1998... more on these days, just recovered and refreshed a couple of laptops from 2012, nuked Windows from both and installed Xubuntu and Lubuntu (one of each, not dual boot).
I will allow Wine and some Linux native MS apps in the Xubuntu PC. The Lubuntu PC is 100% Linux, no proprietary code so maybe the Stallmanites won't puke on it (unless they hate snaps and flatpaks lol).

Happy to hear about your Linux adventures :) enjoy your Xubuntu and Lubuntu - I am mostly on Ubuntu and Pop OS ( this sounds like I am taking drugs lol :)

I'm getting a "destination region does not support the outfit you are wearing. Please retry with a simpler one" warning. So I can only teleport there with a system avi? I've never had this issue before.

Is the Simona update less complex now? I stopped using it because that was a problem for me, especially if I want to be seen at a venue as myself by others and not as a jellydoll. I typically try not to go above 75k-100k on the complexity scale.
You did great with Xaara for sure! I'll check out the Simona update ASAP.

yes as it said the complexity has changed.. its much lower while still maintaining the auto alpha the 4 nipple choices and the 5 feet choices and the hud works for skins, hand poses,

I don't have any issues with grids doing their thing, I can abide by that. I do that whether I'm in SL or OS. Thanks for clearing it up.

So, this is an avatar, right? In that case I can port the shape to my Xara avis, and hopefully still use the clothes rigged for that body.

I understand. See what I've highlighted here? If your avatar has such a file, I can transfer that to my avi and make her look huge! Hope you don't mind if I do so later. :)
