Seems LL is changing their mind about how the #TransSansaraCauseway will be built... #SecondLife #SecondLifeGeography So they added 3 new regions south of Albion and ended with this:

(She/her). A girl living in Second Life. A Resident Cartographer. And oftentimes a ponygirl as well. Works in IT in First Life. Doing lots of Python. My posts may contain NSFW images which I will mark accordingly.
At which point do you stop 'improving' your #bash script and just go, "fuck it I'll make a #Python script instead" ? #PythonProgramming
Aaand an enterprising resident (not me) made a map showing the undersea part of the #TransSansaraCauseway ! #SecondLife #SecondLifeGeography #SecondLifeCartography
Oh yeah! This has got to be a #HistoricalMoment for #SecondLife #SecondLifeGeography !! Should be an article for the #SLGI wiki!! Can someone check when the "Under Construction" signs were plopped down on Luna and Pomponio?
And someone disabled water rendering and mapped out the undersea tunnel of #TransSansaraCauseway #SecondLife
gdi I forgot to tag that post with #SecondLife #SecondLoife
You can kind of see the terraforming already done toward the small island in the second pic. And to the East of the larger island, also some terraforming and some crossing surfaces already extending diagonally into the big Protected Land on South West Albion.

So uh, remember my proposal for a connection between Bay City and the rest of Sansara? Uhh.. Looks like Linden Lab finally is committing to something in the vein of it.

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 😅
FYI 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. #BashProgramming #BashScripting #Scripting

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

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.
AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It
One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consisten...

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.

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. #ITSecurity #VibeCoding
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
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!

I'd say that a majority of my problems crashing out of #SecondLife is because of connection problems. Windows 'kindly' hide 'temporary problems' until it became severe. #CachyOS immediately alerts me whenever a connection problem happens. The result:
Observation on running #KokuaViewer on #CachyOS, visiting a very-texture-and-PBR-heavy dance party in #SecondLife : 1. My GPU doesn't heat as much as when I was still using Win10 2. Several times the viewer froze, but after a couple of seconds work again. Which is great, actually! (See below)
We need to have her medical license revoked and retrain her from attaching an M.D. after her name.
Can I get an update on this, Jane?
Oookay I just learnt from my mentor that #bash actually perform syntax checking etc when a function is first defined. So if you want a bash script to not error out mid-processing, leaving the system in an indeterminate state, wrap the logic inside a main() function. Then execute that function.
Remember, folks, that an #XML reply is still a valid reply from an API endpoint. You have no rights dictating what encoding format an API will return to you. If your app can't handle XML replies then that's YOUR skill issue. Full stop.
I love how FAST #CachyOS boots on my laptop. Like, so fast that I don't mind rebooting to test things. And reboot again if I want to undo the things. It boots, like, an order of magnitude -- or two -- faster than Windows 10 Pro ever could. #Linux #ArchLinux #WindowsFree #MicrosoftFree
