OpenSim Hypergrid : SineWave Space - Sansar : What Do They Have To Offer ?

By Avatar JayR Cela

    Let's talk about reality and some of the more outlandish ideas being put forward as progress in the world of Virtual Reality environments.

     I am going to start with SineWave Space, If you have been there and are a resident then I am assuming that you have a pretty hefty computer CPU and GPU. that goes double for LindenLab and their Project Sansar, not everyone has extra money to waste on a virtual reality world environment. Let's just take a look at the Vive and Face Books Oculus, these items definitely are niche products that are useful for certain purposes. Medical and Surgery, Aero Dynamic Design Principles, but not much else.

    As much as I dislike the Windows 10 environment I have to say that Micro Soft has the right idea with the Augmented Reality glasses they are working towards. This will be a truly phenomenal breakthrough for all of mankind if they can pull it off. These toys from Vive and Oculus are nothing but a horrid blip on the map of the state of the human progress into the next realm of awareness. Mostly these over priced items are limited to people that enjoy playing video games.

    Lets get real here, yes the real world can be a horrible place, do you really want to withdraw into a mindless shell of a human being, encased within your headset of a make believe 3D Virtual World ?

    I don't think so.

OpenSim 101 : Your Profile > Picks

By Avatar JayR Cela

    I am getting sick and tired of people whining about how no one attends the event's they announce within their Grids or on the HyperGrid. For one thing the majority of these folks have never bothered to fill out the Profile section properly, where are your interests ( are you just an idiot or do you actually do something positive in OpenSim ? ) / where are your Picks of Favorite places to go ? And why the hell don't you send people a proper LandMark listing the Grid and Sim ?

    Are we all supposed to be some sort of mind readers ?

OpenSim HyperGrid : Linux - Mac -Windows, Which One Should You be Using ?

By Avatar JayR Cela

    This is a very easy question to answer that often get's asked, it's simple. You should be using what you are comfortable and familiar with, and in the case of Apple products if you can afford it as well.

    Look I am just going to lay this one right out on the line, I am a Linux person, specifically Debian / Ubuntu forks, I have been using them for about 12 years and to me it is a no brainer. I also build computers as a sideline hobby for friends and acquaintances, some of these folks are very comfortable with the Windows operating system. So it makes no sense at all for me to try and influence them to make a switch to a Linux environment. It is a waste of their and my time to do so.

    Now we come to Macs and whatever they are calling their OS these days. I have never owned any Apple products nor do I wish to, however having worked in the freelance audio recording industry for a number of years I have had the opportunity to use other peoples gear. Personally I do not care for the stuff, but I have a great deal of respect for the people I know that swear by Macs in the Film and Music business.

    All I am saying is, the next time someone cuts down your choice of an Operating System for use in OpenSim, Just grin and bear it. They obviously have no clue as to what they are talking about, because they all accomplish the same thing.
