Haha... looks like I'm in another virtual world! This time, it's family friendly. It's a community rewrite of Toontown. This is what I look like, along with my in world name. My account name on it is of course... Jerralyn_Franzic. lol

My RL admirer has his birthday today! He reached the half century mark, 50th level and all that!

I know he loves to dress me up in leather. IDK if I have anything like this in my SL or Open Sim inventories, but I dig this outfit and hairdo!

Shucks, wish I had the coding skills for taking this on. Passing it on for anyone who can tackle this project. I briefly tried Lumiya a few years ago, was happy to mess with a mobile viewer that worked with Open Sim.

Lumiya #SecondLife Mobile Viewer ressurection project on GitHub, do you have the coding skills to help out?

The Return Of The Lumiya Viewer – Coders Needed!

I'm reblogging this recent post by Daniel Voyager,with my own thoughts thrown in. I got excited when I saw Daniel's post, since in my opinion Lumiya was the best mobile viewer of its time. I may actually go as far to say of any time for that matter. Linden Lab are doing their best building their own viewer from the ground up, but it's focussed mainly on new residents as an entry path, not for seasoned residents that might want to quickly log in to do some task or other.

This exhibition is probably my favorite from Scylla, thus far. <3

If you pixel peep, the imperfections are there, but for me qwen has been the easiest to send prompts to, while seeing the result I expect. I still need to do better with crafting prompts for image AI engines to use.

Dang it... now I wish I was a real person lol! Original is from #opensim, at Muse in the Alternate Metaverse grid. Qwen.ai edited the realistic take for me... =)

OK... so I guess I'll never have a pet around in the crib lol... don't want to figure out whether they'll like me playing clean guitar or a distorted hellscape. My life is stressful enough outside of the virtual interwebz, man.

My phone just autocorrected "duck" to "fuck" when I actually really did mean to say "duck," and I feel like I have finally broken its spirit

Thanks! Glad to know I'm not the only avatar with rezzing issues lol... I'd be foaming at the mouth if I was riding a rollercoaster or taking on action games in that mess.

Is it me... the last few days, SL has been rezzing rather slowly. Doesn't matter which OS or viewer I use. I am SLT +3. I'm usually on Firestorm in Ubuntu Studio LTS (Linux).

Umph... Looks like I have duplicate folders/files in my SL account! The skin layers in my account appear to be borked too. Filed a ticket to LR.

If any of you are in Open Sim, I'm usually on from 7-9 PM ET US, Monday-Friday. Look for Jerralyn Franzic, or Jerom Franzic if I'm on OSgrid.

I'm running GhostBSD now on a laptop from 2012. It is neat for basic tasks. I am trying to run it on a newer laptop, but I'm stuck with the scfb frame buffer video ATM. I want to try recompiling the Intel and Nvidia drivers, might help with getting 3d acceleration running.

3/ .. so ya... Nvidia Optimus seems to be a clusterf**k in FreeBSD, works better in Windows and Linux. Not good if you're a laptop person like me, OK for desktop folk. Maybe I'll find a cheap 256GB USB drive and install a minimalist setup on it with NomadBSD. Will go inworld for a bit in OpenSim, GN

Jerralyn Franz @jerrafranz.bsky.social · Mar 27

2/ Chromebook running on BSD lol! Main issue for me is getting the GhostBSD Live USB to actually run on the newer PC. Seems to "cough" at loading the Nvidia drivers at boot up. IDK... maybe I'll put it aside for now until a fix can come up. Like Linux, AMD drivers seem to work best in BSD...

1/ Uggg... I want to install FreeBSD so bad on my main PC... feels a bit like 1998 again when I first attempted to install Slackware on a PC back then! I installed a FreeBSD derivative called GhostBSD on an older laptop. Works really well there but that PC is old, so it's basically a...
