Cartoon of The Day: Winged Floatie

 

 

 Taken while shopping. This float got my attention as it had bat wings. With my sense of humor, I was wondering if it was someone's idea of "water wings."

Pictures From Burn2 Whimsy

 

Gemma Cleanslate was one of the Rangers at the Burn2 spinnoff event this weekend. The theme of this year's summer burn was "Whimsy." And some of the builds were more than a little on the whimsical side. She sent the Newser a few pictures.

Delay Of Announcement of New Linden Home Theme

 

Last week, Linden Lab announced they were doing their last of three polls for the new Linden Home theme. The choices were "Millionare Homes," "Mid-Century Modern," "Alpine Style Theme," "Craftsman Style Homes," and "Tiki Water Theme." The winner was supposed to be announced on Monday. But it wasn't. As of the writing of this article, the theme has not yet been announced. 

 

It was also brought up in the forums that the date for the second Community Roundtable, which was supposed to be at the SL21B but delayed, hasn't been announced either. Nor have there been any new updates in the Lab's "Featured News" for over a month. 

Stay tuned for more information,

A New Office

 

 
The Newser is getting a new office. Ranchan Weidman, who's provided the office buildings since our start in June 2010, gave us a bigger one that takes up just about all of our plot. 

It's certainly very roomy. But, we're going to have to rearrange our furniture some. At least when real-life and our writing schedules give us a break. 

The second office went up in December 2012, and almost ten years later the third office building was set up in September 2022. There are also satellite offices in Belisseria and Book Island.

The location remains at HV Community (140, 85, 25) 

Thank you again Ranchan,

Burn2 Summer Burn, "Whimsy"

 

 

This weekend from Friday to Sunday, the Burn2 Summer Burn event took place. Called "Whimsy," it had a whimsical tone with many of the builds intending to be on the amusing side. It took place at Burning Man - Deep Hole.

But not all of it was whimsical. When I finally had a chance to send an alt over, there was a tribute to a late friend, "Next song is Take Five, a cover of it by King Tubby... I play it in honour of Ktadhn, who used to play Take Five by the Dave Brubeck Quartet for every single Lamplighter procession (smile) As soon as the song would start, he would IM me and say, 'A little jazz for you' We remember you, KT!!!"

Gemma should have more on Whimsy soon,

SL Video: "How to Set Up Mirrors"

 

 

 (click here if the video does not play)

 

From Zanibar Pixelbottom on June 19, who explains how to set up a mirror, and gives a few details such as why not every one you will see will show your avatar's reflection "Reflection probes are meant for general, 'good enough' reflections. If you absolutely need accurate reflections, (such as for a mirror), you'll need to use a mirror probe. In this video, I'll demonstrate how to make a mirror, and the differences between a static and dynamic mirror."

SLB Sims Empty

 

 

 I was able to port by the SLB sims last night, and not unexpectedly, the exhibits were pretty much all gone, remnants in a spot or two.

It was a great SL21B, even if I didn't see as much as I wanted to.

 

July 19 Tech Outage Could Cost Over Five Billion Dollars

 

Last Friday, a massive global tech outage affected many thousands from airport travelers to 911 callers to hospital workers as data and communication became unavailable.  Airlines were particularly hard hit, some still having many more delayed flights for days. CNN reported one insurance company stated the crash, "will cost Fortune 500 companies alone more than $5 billion in direct losses."

 

Crowdsrtike would also issue a report about what went wrong, saying that it came from part of it's security system that checks for hacking on customer's computers and smartphones after an update was made which was glitched. While it's updates are screened before being released, there was a bug in the system that allowed it to get through, “despite containing problematic content data.”The result was the "blue screen of death" on millions of computers and smartphones, which could only be delt with by manual operations, sometimes over and over and over.

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: "The Olympic Flag is Flying"

 

With the Paris Olympics starting today in real life, it was appropriate when Radioactive Rosca announced, "The Olympic flag is flying in Bellisseria," then posted this picture of it on a flagpole at a Linden Home. Someone mused "does it have it's pilot's license?"

Frog Museum And Burn 2's Whimsy

 

After her recent break, Gemma Cleanslate has been busy.  At Circuit La Corse, she heard about an unusual place: the Frog Museum. Opening in mid-July, it's a celebration of all things froggy, and offers storytime readings. Also, the Burn2 group is about to have their Summer Burn. This year's theme is "Whimsy," and true to it's name all kinds of amusing builds are being set up in Deep Hole. The art and music Festival starts tomorrow, but Gemma had an early look.

Second Life Blogger Network Put On Hiatus

 

A few days ago, Linden Lab announced on the official blog that they would be temporarily pausing the Second Life Blogger Network. 

As we continue to evolve and improve our various community initiatives, we have decided to put the Second Life Blogger Network (SLBN) on a temporary hiatus. This pause will allow us to dedicate resources to upcoming changes and enhancements designed to enrich our community's experience even further. 

 

We sincerely appreciate the incredible contributions that each of you, our esteemed bloggers, have made to enrich the Second Life community. Please know that this decision was made with careful consideration and is not a reflection of the value we place on your work. 

 

The Lab also stated they would be expanding the Second Life Weekly Email Newsletter, and invited people to use the Community Resources Portal. 

 

The Second Life Blogger Network was introduced almost five years ago, in September 2019.

Partying On At Scorn And Cutlass

 

 

 Club Scorn may be just a single club, but it has a number of venues on the sim and every Saturday a different one gets used. On Saturday the 20th, a new city ruins venue was revealed for the club's "Post Apocalypse" Night.

 

 

 People showed up as survivors, mutants, robots, and a zombie, "What does a vegetarian zombie say? Graaaaaiiiinnnnssss ..." The people playing the music were DJ Aldi, DJ Poison, DJ Charlee, DJ Squeaks, and DJ Gwen. Several contests were held with a number of winners. 

Scorn is at Elysium Tartarus, the locations of the active venue varies, depending on which one is used.

Cutlass remains one venue (though occasionally the underwater club is powered up for use). On July 24, the theme was "Crazy Stuff."

DJ Jenni played the tunes as people showed up as a watermellon, a jellyfish, an Intermet meme, community leader Rita Mariner in a straitjacket, and more.

Cutlass is at Sunweaver Bay (114/117/757).

Reader Submitted Picture: Early SLB Empty Plots

 

 

From Kamida Delec,who was going about the grounds of the Second Life Birthday on Sunday July 21, and noticed some spots that had nothing but green grass or water. When told it was the last day of the event, "Ah, that explains the empty plot I see time to time."

SL21B Ends

 

 

 Sometime on the night of July 21, probably Midnight, the exhibits of the Second Life Birthday region closed to the public. After about a month, the SL21B is over.

The Newser took some pictures, but sadly due to real life and other needs, we didn't get as many as we wanted. Please send pictures, and any stories, to bixylshuftan@gmail.com.

Trying To Figure Out New Tech

 

If I haven't been writing much lately, there's a reason. Yours truly has been making a tech upgrade. 

 

For years, I had just the old flip phones that came about in the 90s. Then when the company phased them out about a couple years ago, I finally got a smartphone, a simple one. But friends kept telling me I needed to upgrade. So I finally did. I went ahead and got a much better smartphone: a Samsung.

 

Trouble is, the joke about new tech being scary to people over forty, well, there's something to it. It's been something of a struggle trying to get the thing working right, which takes time. Time that cannot be used for writing, or covering events like the last days of the SLB.

But I'll get this figured out. In the meantime, in-depth stories, other than from other reporters and reader submissions, will have to wait.

 From Draxtor Despres on July 14, "It is that time of year again where we celebrate the fact that Second Life - due to the ingenuity of its residents - has outlived many a Metaverses. Well, I don't personally find joy in punching down on worlds that came and went so let me be clear: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SECOND LIFE! YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY (even if others were to exist .... and they don't ... change my mind?) Join me if you see me and let's wander the grounds of SL21B ! ! !"

Global Outage Affecting Online Systems Worldwide

 

All day today, there's been a global tech outage. Across the US and much of the planet, it's affected many places from airports, to hospitals, to 911 and other emergency services, and more. People have been stranded at airports waiting for their planes. Procedures for patients in hospitals are delayed as their records are inaccessible. Court sessions are delayed due to computers being down. 

 

About the only bright spot was the doughnut chain Krispy Kreme offering free donuts to people. 

 

The source was traced to a software update for Cloudstrike. In a Twitter post, it's CEO explained the problem was, “a defect found in a single content update of its software on Microsoft Windows operating systems."

RFL Team Sunbeamer Meeting

 

 

 On Sunday July 14, the Relay for Life's Sunbeamer team held a post-season meeting at the team's HQ in Sunweaver Bay. They talked about about how things went this year, what went well, and what didn't. There was discussion about possibly retiring one event, and adding in a new one.

 

Among the things discussed was that while previous years had souvenirs in the Sunbeamer HQ, the ones for this year seemed absent. It turned out they're at Club Cutlass, elsewhere in the sim.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

Sneaky Discord Scam

 

 

 Been hearing about a diabolical scam on Discord. It's described as appearing as a very obvious one at first, but the REAL scam is the "dismiss message" link, which supposedly gives the scammer access to your computer. 

At the very least, it's a reminder to be a little careful with your computers. 

Commentary: Reflections on the SL21B

 

Second Life is now "old enough to drink." And while most residents are happy, a few feel like having a drink themselves.

There's no doubt that the Lab would have prefered that this year's Second Life Birthday be remembered when it showcased it's PBR update and finally brought out it's mobile viewer. While that's part of how it will be, unfortunately there are some details the Lab would prefer we the residents forget.

In late February came allegations in an anonymous online article that a number of Lindens and Moles had been involved in ageplay, offering no real evidence. Despite the caution of the Second Life media, the Newser and others only giving hints of what was going on or limiting themselves to saying there was an investigation, and that the host website took down the article, word got around as rumors do. While most may believe "all remain innocent until proven guilty," some instead were "once accused, always suspect." A few Lindens and moles named in the accusations were regulars on Bellisseria chat and stopped chatting, laying low. They would not appear at the WVBPE Conference and one would briefly show up at the Fantasy Faire. Finally at the Second Life Birthday they would appear as normal. This was a relief to most, though there were still one or two people going, "Hide the children!"

About a month and a half before the Second Life Birthday came the Linden response to the ageplay allegations: more restrictions on child avatars. They would all need to have "modesty layers" under their clothes. But more importantly would be completely barred from  Adult-rated sims, even if there was nothing overtly sexual outside private homes and the rating was there only because those making their home there were afraid the Lab would ban them for what went on behind closed doors under any milder rating. The Moon Dance and possibly a few other Relay events were barred to child avatars, and while Burn2 once allowed both nudity and child avatars, it is currently deciding which to do away with. Marianne McCann and possibly others whotook part in the past may not be able to do so any more without changing from the look they've been known for.

Soon after, it was announced that the mobile viewer could not be used to take users to Adult-rated areas either. The viewer could be gotten only through Google Play and Apples App Store, both of which had rules about what products available there could show. Between this move and the rule about child avatars, for better or for worse Adult sims were no longer as acessible as they were compared to Mature ones. For some places, this brings up a choice. Do they remain Adult to soothe nagging fears by some who make their home there about what the Lab will do if they spend a little private time with a loved one (or friend with bennefits), or do they lower the rating to make the place more accessible?

And this was the time in which Firestorm, the most popular viewer, released it's PBR (Physical Based Rendering) update. And so the majority of residents were now able to see objects made with this feature, notably the first truly functional mirrors. It was a joy to a number of residents. But for others, notably with older computers, it wasn't. A few people I talked to complained of greater lag and even crashes. Former Newser reporter, who was scheduled to DJ at the Second Life Birthday, had to cancel as he lagged heavily and repeatedly crashed. He would make the decision to leave Second Life for good. How many others did the same is unknown. And a better computer isn't always better for Second Life. I was told about someone's brand new expensive PC that was "barely able" to play the new viewer.

In some ways, it's a reminder of Linden Lab's delima. Unless Second Life is updated, fewer new users will come in. But the problem is, updating means higher requirements for computers. And so those with older machines end up with slower virtual experiences that can make going about here less easy and more difficult, and eventually not able to get on. And 21 years after Second Life's creation, working class residents often have less disposable income than their forebears, and it takes them longer to save for a better computer, if they can save at all.

The Second Life Birthday itself would reflect some of these happenings. People cheered at the sight of certain Lindens and Moles who had been lying low for a while. Much of the terrain, and many of the exhibits took advantage of the new PBR technology, which was a treat for those who could see it. The theme "Elements" was an odd one, but thankfully one didn't need to make their exhibits adhire strictly to the theme. And there is quite a variety of exhibits to see. Plus with this year's SLB lasting a month, more time to see them.

There was one other difference from previous recent birthdays. Instead of a Musicfest at the start with a lot of DJs and singers at the begining weekend with a smaller number of stage events the rest of the celebration, this year all the scheduled performances were in the first ten days, then no more. But there will almost certainly be a few performers step up in the closing hours to help end things with a bang.

As with previous birthdays, there were a few things that raised eyebrows, but much to celebrate, such as despite all the naysayers saying we were doomed, the glitches, the recessions, and the occasional Linden blunder, we're still here.

Happy twenty-first birthday, Second Life. And here's to many more.
