Second Life overview

Second Life is a 3D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively, and today is inhabited by a total of 5,145,919 people from around the globe.

From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences, and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business. You'll also be surrounded by the creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell, and trade with other residents.

The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges.

What’s new in version 7.1.9.10515727195

  • Mirrors are disabled by default now and may still be enabled if you choose.
  • Options to help with taking multiple objects so you can choose whether to take them all into your inventory as one or separately as individual objects.
  • Stop rendering those other avatars with the Avatar Display setting now found in Preferences>Graphics which allows prioritization of rendering your friends. (For those recording a video or taking a photo, a “Render Only Friends” setting is temporarily located at Develop->Avatar->Character Tests->Render Only Friends.)
  • Too bright? Control the amount of lights rendered with the new Max. Nearby Lights slider found in Advanced Graphics Settings.
  • Better MOAP URL handling has also been implemented here in order for users to not only be able to CTRL+C or Cmd+C copy but also to see decoded URL payloads for easy inspection.
  • Preview what your GLTF models may look like in Second Life! While editing a prim, check out the preview setting via Develop->GLTF->Open. Please note that this feature is still in the early stages of development and that GLTF models will only appear locally.

What's astounding is that the Second Life devs can't be bothered to catch up with Apple M-Series processors, aka ARM. This stuff is all Intel x86. M-Series Macs started in 2020. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Considering the amount of 3D coded into SL, this is lunatic on their part. So if you're on an M-Series Mac, you have to run SL in Rosetta 2 EMULATION. 😝

Linden Lab is Aiding and Abetting Criminal Activity: Millions of real life dollars are siphoned from the Second Life music community yearly....without any royalties paid to rightful copyright owners for use of their material...nor are there any real life taxes imposed....all the while....Linden Lab profits from transfer fees for out-going/laundered money.....and music venues wish to act like hotshots while they harbor entertainers who think they are above the law and avoid paying federal taxes on millions of virtual world (Second Life) income. Some people believe real life regulations stop at the log in screen entering Second Life When you speak out against corruption in Second Life....they attempt to flip it around...make you out to be the bad guy...YOU are the criminal.......your name entered into ban list all around the grid. Second Life has become an evil empire full of corruption, greed and trolls....There are much better things to do than to consolidate yourself with a bunch of a--holes. Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf Youtube: https://youtu.be/UIIEnmt5ZAM Robert69 Little - Winner of AVI Choice Award (May 2016) https://youtu.be/LFd0Kl_MvzE A lot of real life money revolves around virtual world music venues....hiring of entertainers ($20.00 per hour...sometimes a lot more than that.....plus tips.........some earning up to and well over $400.00 per week in real life income)....dance animations, guitars, pianos, drum sets....etc....venues furniture....blah, blah, blah. It cost money to buy virtual world lindens (money) and then it cost again to transfer lindens (money) back out into the real world. Linden Lab does NOT publicize "live music" events in Second Life by way of videos. I would assume this is a way to keep their money laundering operation under wraps. https://secondlife.com/my/community/events/?lang=en-US BBB- Linden Lab Reviews: https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/online-gaming/linden-lab-1116-57373/customer-reviews Tweets to Phillip Rosedale and Ebbe Altbert of Second Life https://youtu.be/rq9uUKrXFz0 I don't believe I've ever run across a bigger loud mouth, egoistic con-artist in all my life.....truly sickening.....: Seth Regan aka "Mankind Tracer" http://www.slenquirer.com/2021/01/spotlight-on-seth-regan-aka-mankind.html#comment-form Linden Lab is Aiding and Abetting Criminal Activity - Part 2 https://youtu.be/dQIfAcfKl7A Linden Lab - What Part Of Corruption Is Not Visible https://youtu.be/W3YPaRLa2oQ Scams are endless in Second Life...: were there is money.....people will do just about anything to get their hands on it.

Why should Linden Lab complain....they're making a profit off money transfer fees.

Reminds me of V-World on the Caprica TV series (60 years prior to Battlestar Galactica)! Although it is not half as good. :P
