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 He has said he is done and his website is no longer active.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

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.

I want to thank everyone who participated in our little poll yesterday regarding adoption of PBR viewers. The tally as of today: 45% of the 29 respondents said they love it, 28% said they had tried it but had reverted back, and 14% said they had no interest in using one.

As I have shown before, the pic above shows the difference between PBR and full Blinn-Phong materials. Both are the best I was able to accomplish with each graphics engine. Both are part of all my builds now, so users can decide how they want to see them.

As many of you know, I've always been an early adopter and proponent of new viewer features, such as materials and eep, and used them in everything, regardless of how widely adopted the tech was among the user base. And as with pbr now, the primary early adopters are usually artists, designers, and creators, because we are are supported by a great group of patrons who enable us to keep doing what we love and push the limits of creation on this platform. So, if a user doesn't want to upgrade, we understand and we accommodate, but if they do, they're in for a treat :-)

Come on over to the space jam dance with the world famous DJ Hazel. clothing optional get free kudos and admiration if you wear your best space outfit. Happy Friday!

Liebe Community,
seit wenigen Stunden werde ich in Facebook massiv von einer Person attackiert – mit haltlosen Unterstellungen wie Fake-Identität, toxisches Verhalten und sogar Pädophilie. Solche Vorwürfe sind nicht nur verletzend, sondern strafbar.
Ganz ehrlich: dieser Ärger bringt mich an meine Grenzen. Nach über 15 Jahren in OpenSim frage ich mich manchmal, ob es das noch wert ist. Aber dann denke ich an all die Menschen, Projekte und an unsere gemeinsame Community – und das ist der einzige Grund, warum ich nicht einfach hinschmeiße.
Ich will hier nur klarstellen: Diese Anschuldigungen sind frei erfunden und haben keinerlei Substanz. Meine Energie gehört weiterhin Dorena_AI, der Kunst und unserer Welt – nicht dem Gift einzelner Personen.
Wer mich angreifen will, soll wissen: Ich lasse mich nicht einschüchtern. Meine Projekte wachsen weiter – trotz allem.

AH, ihr Name ist Vanessa Keune...
Dear Community,
for the past few hours I have been massively attacked on Facebook by a person – with baseless accusations such as fake identity, toxic behavior, and even pedophilia. Such allegations are not only hurtful, but also punishable by law.

To be honest: this whole situation is pushing me to my limits. After more than 15 years in OpenSim, I sometimes ask myself if it’s still worth it. But then I think of all the people, the projects, and our shared community – and that is the only reason why I don’t simply give up.

I just want to make it clear: these accusations are fabricated and have absolutely no substance. My energy continues to belong to Dorena_AI, to art, and to our world – not to the poison of a single person.

Whoever tries to attack me should know: I will not be intimidated. My projects will continue to grow – despite everything.

AH, her name is Vanessa Keune...
