1) They're not farming data not publicly available on SL already but never handed out in a simple way by LL.
2) All viewers -- like, every single one -- already save texture/mesh into their caches.
3) I've heard it's an allegation/accusation, from only one side, with no proof.
Why do you think it's "good riddance"?
ALL viewers have the ability to "rip avatars".
How else can they render avatars on-screen, otherwise?
Viewers receive all the mesh objects, textures of the visible things, and so on.
Let's ban ALL viewers, then 😎
Which bonniebot are you referring to here?
Some people with malicious intent actually named their bots "bonniebot" to divert the blame.
Why can't people stop this nonsense that is the #DaylightSavingTime #DST

Let's be clear: the SAVE America Act is a massive voter suppression bill. Full stop. This bill doesn't protect elections. It rigs them. By making it harder for millions of Americans to vote, the SAVE America Act is one of the most dangerous attacks on democracy I've seen in my lifetime.
FUN FACT: He advised Queen Elizabeth to pardon her son 3 years, 5 months & 12 days after she passed away.
Please add "UNINFORMED" to my list.
Thank you for your attention to this embarrassing matter.

There's a nascent #SecondLife viewer called #PyroKitty that's in development.
It uses Godot as the rendering engine, and from the vids I've seen (from its devs) it renders quite well, and can even render mesh and rigged items!
Look forward to it being launched!
@inarapey.secondlife.bio Hey your BSky link in your blog seems to need a fixing, when I clicked it, BSky said "it cannot resolve the identity" or something like that 😅
Don't USB-C cables have chips inside to enable them to negotiate with the host about their capabilities?

You can emulate this Python line
"keyword".startswith(cmd)
in #bash, using the following:
[[ "keyword" = ${cmd}* ]]
With one catch:
cmd must NOT contain any whitespace.

Despite its positioning as the trustworthy, “nice” AI lab, Anthropic is as big, ugly and wasteful as OpenAI, and Dario Amodei is an even bigger bullshit artist than Sam Altman. It burns just as much of its revenue on inference (59% - or $2.79 billion on $4.5 billion of revenue, versus OpenAI’s $2.5 billion (62%) on $4.3 billion of revenue in the first half of 2025, if you use The Information’s numbers), and shows no sign of any “efficiency” or “cost-cutting.” Worse still, Anthropic continually abuses its users through varying rate limits to juice revenues and user numbers - along with Amodei’s gas-leak-esque proclamations - to mislead the media, the general public and investors about the financial condition of the company. Based on an analysis of many users’ actual token burn on Claude Code, I believe Anthropic is burning anywhere from $3 to $20 to make $1, and that the product that users are using (and the media is raving about) is not one that Anthropic can actually support long-term. I also see signs that Amodei himself is playing fast and loose with financial metrics in a way that will blow up in his face if Anthropic ever files its paperwork to go public. In simpler terms, Anthropic’s alleged “38% gross margins” may, if we are to believe Amodei’s own words, not the result of “revenue minus COGS” but “how much a model cost and how much revenue it’s generated.” Anthropic is also making promises it can’t keep. It’s promising to spend $30 billion on Microsoft Azure (and an additional "up to one gigawatt”), “tens of billions” on Google Cloud, $21 billion on Google TPUs with Broadcom, “$50 billion on American infrastructure,” as much as $3 billion on Hut8’s data center in Louisiana, and an unknowable (yet likely in the billions) amount of money with Amazon Web Services. Not to worry, Dario also adds that if you’re off by a couple of years on your projections of revenue and ability to pay for compute, it’ll be “ruinous.” I think that’s he’s right. Anthropic cann…

Sure.
But hackers are lazy and they aim for low-hanging fruits first.
"Human made" = there's possibility of vulnerability, but also very likely to have implemented best practices.
"Vibe coded" = there's a CERTAINTY of Security Vulnerability.
If you have to choose on which system to hack, which?
Having to babysit an "agentic A.I." through its flow seems to be ... additional work?
How does that increase efficiency?
And that's already ignoring all the Gigajoules consumed by the A.I.'s datacenters...
With at least 2 open source hypervisors available, #KVM and #Xen, why oh why do anyone think they should make a home-brew one...
#Hypervisors #Virtualization
Home-brew?
Mmm... Security Vulnerabilities much?
Glad it's meant only for their own things.
10 days ago, matt mullenweg uploaded a blog post about how he started using AI to code and now tumblr is entirely non functional
great job, buddy! i knew you havent lost your touch
The bit about being locked into a multi-day coding session reminds me of something I read the other day about research showing that AI usage increases the amount of time spent working.
god is this AI agent stuff just midlife crisis shit for programmers. is it just a recapturing-your-youth thing. machine that convinces you that you can lock in and hack for two days like you did in your twenties.
This means that any "responsible disclosure" done by White Hats are already too late.
Bad Actors already got in and done a heist of all PII and other sensitive info within.
"AI-Generated Code" is a BIG RED FLAG.
The very moment one declares that one's service is "100% vibe coded" hackers will start to prepare that service with a fine-toothed comb *and* discover the plethora security holes in that service.
Not "try to discover".
Hackers WILL discover.

Thankfully I'm able to switch over to Linux completely. No dual-booting, even.
Though I do understand that some people have something they really *need* that has no counterpart for Linux.
Luckily, all I *need* are available on Linux.
Many are already migrating to PostgreSQL though...

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels
ReLU is basically max(0, x)
Return x if x is positive,
Return 0 otherwise.
If we apply #ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) function (a common item used in #ArtificialIntelligencr, namely #NeuralNetworks) ...
Then it is clear #SamAltman has consistently increased #OpenAI's profit by a factor of 10 every year.
0 x 10¹⁰ = 00,000,000,000
Awesome consistent performance!
The USA is now totally an oligarchy whose sole objective is Profit Above All Else, and not humanity.
