    I do take exception to use of the term "data scraping" when it is LSL functions being called, and not "websites being scraped". I know, I know..tomayto tomahto. But sometimes, "words matter"!

    Thanks, I missed that part - in order for "user-driven avatars to do the work that Bots were doing" (by wearing a HUD), then the system must be "storing where those user-driven avatars were". Presumably, with the user's permission and full knowledge that "I am wearing this HUD so you can collect data; the data being collected includes my location and when I visited each location while wearing the HUD".

  3. How Does Your SL Look Today?

    Too many video games and TV shows (Stranger Things) can lead to an over active imagination. What trouble has James landed himself in this time?

    Because it's doing the same thing as the bots did, except it's on an avatar controlled by a human. And instead of one person controlling bots and keeping tabs on where they are, now you have a third party storing where avatars have been and basically tracking them and what's around them. It's still scraping the same data, except now it's raising privacy concerns and it's probably causing more lag since bonnie bots probably had their own software that was just reading data the sim would send to a viewer, and the HUD is very likely just making llSensor calls relentlessly which is one of the laggiest things you can do in LSL.

  5. What is peeving you now, while logged into Second Life

    Mainland always did, at least ever since I'm around. Every private region is paid for. Landlords or just regular people. If the tier is not paid it's gone. Mainland with so many abandoned and empty parcels is always there. Some of it might entertain a few explorers, like the blake sea and some more. But there's far too many of those empty spaces no one (almost) ever cared about. Getting rid of some of them in favor of what makes money makes perfect business sense. For any business, not just for LL. If anything it took LL far too long to get to it. They clearly have numbers to go by. And "outraged" forum population of 50 people are just a very vocal minority as usual.
