OpenSim : HyperGrid : Singularity Viewer Update

Hey there everyone.

     I'm back today to hopefully get some attention from the Dev's currently working on the Singularity Viewer.

     Vivox Voice Service is broken. It does not work, plain and simple, cut and dry, it does not work at all.

     And hey look everyone that ever reads my blog knows darn well I am a died in wool Linux person, and everyone also knows that Vivox dropped Linux support a long time ago, well screw that, I make it work using the WINE Windows compatibility layer via the Win64 .exe installer. I have previous versions of Singularity running just fine in this environment, and FireStorm, and CoolVL, they all work just fine, and if God Forbid  I actually boot into Windows10 for some stupid reason  Voice will work there also, but not with the current version of Singularity, it is broken.

    I sincerely hope someone on the Singularity Dev team reads this post.

Open Sim HyperGrid : Windows 7 is Dead / Should you switch to Linux ?

Hi there everyone,

     I have to say this because I feel it is important for any Open Sim users. personally I am not a Windows user, I much prefer Linux as my Operating System. However Linux is not for everyone, if you are currently or until recently been using Windows 7, my recommendation is just take the FREE Upgrade to Windows 10, figure out how to turn off all the telemetry spy on you bullshit and install either Virtual Box or VMWare on your system in order to test various Linux distributions until you find one you feel comfortable with. If you take your time learning Linux ( and it's not really all that hard to do ) you will not find yourself in PANIC MODE when shit don't work.
