unless of course I cannot hear. Why will sound not play from second life through my speakers or headphones? Everything else does. All the settings seem correct. But I cannot hear anything from voice or media.

It is repaired at T minus two minutes.

In attendance are Philip, Kyle, Roxie, Patch, Strawberry, Sntax, Signal, and Gumpity is moderating.

Philip is thankful for the protest signs regarding AI and will host a follow up session to address those concerns.

Roadmap sessions are planned to occur each quarter.

Project Zero is lead by Roxie and Sntax. Firestorm streaming in a browser for a fee. We can purchase 5 hours of use per 250L (~$1). The login link, once you have the credits, is https://zero.secondlife.com/fs

They realize that the PC population will continue to decline so they must provide a web interface but there must be usage charges attached to that. There is no plan to depreciate the PC UIs (where have I heard that before) but Firestorm is by far the most popular (wondering if they're thinking to drop official viewer development).

Grumpity is talking about the mobile "not an app" without actually saying anything. You can win one.million.linden.dollars1

Oh, they're going to tackle region crossings because Philip got tossed from his vehicle recently. I kid you not. That is what they said again for the six-hundred-forty-seventh time ever.

Roxie is also the lead on webRTC. Better voice; less latency; better than a cell call; major accessibility improvements i.e. auto captions and language translation; voice modulation; voice moderation

Patch is announcing THE OFFICIAL SECOND LIFE DISCORD that will be attached to your account, like the official forum, so no at least my answer is no thank you kthxby

Signal is addressing content creation e.g. water exclusion invisiprims. Good Heavens there is another new scripting language being incorporated. It...is...called...any...minute...now...based on Lua called SLua which works much like Lua does in Roblox. It is available on the Beta grid. There may be direct gltf upload rather than having to use collada but it's a way's off.

Voice just died in the region.

They are aware but are not switching to chat.

I kind of want to learn more about LUA but I am not sure where to start on that.

As for the mobile viewer. The giveaway is neat.

Apparently it's not neat enough because I keep forgetting to log in and do the tasks.

It's also not real clear how to "enter" per the blog posts. Like it says log in daily. Winners chosen daily, but there are also weekly tasks, like currently it's IM 3 people. Do I need to do that daily?

Lua pops up in unexpected places. I use a daw called Reaper. I haven't touched its program interfaces but Lua is the primary one.
