Tiaa ... I'm sentimental like hell
It's been over a month since Philip Rosedale announced his separation from Linden Lab.
Well ok, maybe not so drastically and definitely called it, but we know that not so directs the reader's thoughts toward metaphor wyfruwającego chick from the nest and not after it announced the departure of full-time stand over him to return.
In Second Life Blog got a second bit sentimental and slightly sentimental. Speakers at the stars and dignitaries poniektóre pixel little world. To thank the little, little cheer, and usually there to be proud of. So, as always. Irrelevant.
tell the truth, and I gave up when the mood. I started to browse the old pages, load a previously omitted details.
Subjectively viewed, it was worth it. For such a chaotic and aimless clicking, I found something quite, quite handsome and strongly suitable for the first post after a long break - Linden Lab's version of the site prior to the day almost exactly six years, which proudly announced formal platform to give Residents the right to be self created Content, (to click and see for yourself -> HERE.) Skipped a year on - and indeed, "OWN" lights in the main menu page . What's cooler, not only as Creative Commons announced pinned to dresses, hair and chairs, but "own" ostemplowujące "island".
I know that much about the outworn and przewałkowany thousands of times, but somehow the story does not give me peace. I have a penchant for utopia and the sound of pianos disintegrating the pavement (or just like me, Philip, and thus I like everything he says, as a painter friend who recently discovered a correlation between their favorite poems and the beauty of their authors.)
In practice, almost everything looked as the original CEO of Linden Lab said, and what was recorded and networked. Beautiful primer for morning coffee.
built up me with that pretty little sentimental picture of a shy boy, who had no friends, for it was onerous for parents passion to break down and submit a new thing in the immediate area (knocked me the idea to do a la Star Trekowego entry to your room from the door of garage class).
Was not a wonderful idea to play the world with some sort of atoms, the smallest particles that can be freely modified and made into a larger whole, without the costs and consequences in real hard, so ot just for fun anymore? Idea with potential for seduction of a large part of humanity, is not it?
Sure you can. Why, on a wave of excitement to Philip announced that the variety is what you create in-world is yours. I flaps. As the first dance the bride and groom at a wedding - the beginning of the end ...
liberal capitalism goes hand in hand with a strong, protecting and controlling the central government. Or maybe he only Lindenom did not go.
remember Mr. Bragg? Lawyer who has gotten the manipulative methods to areas inaccessible to mortals, and SL website nakupił the land for $ 300 instead of over three times as much? Rude, this one is not disputed (even his counsel.) Except that a punishment was an overstatement. If anyone does not remember, remember - they locked him Lindeni account, thus taking away all that is valuable and worth living. They were allowed?
"Well. Not even the United States Goverment gets away with that." - shook his finger, his lawyer and went to court.
case ended in a confidential settlement before final appeal, but Judge Eduardo C. Robreno had time to let us know what Linden Lab thought. If someone wants one can read about it -> HERE \u0026lt;-. If someone does not want to, I will say only that the uniqueness of Second Life has proved to be its greatest weakness. Consent to have made the SL had no competition in the market, yet they accept Tosu was the only way to access the platform, which (as I patiently explained to Lincoln), indicates that this TOS is an arbitration clause. From what I understood not until the end of it fits smoothly with the law, because if it was not the judge Robreno in May 2006, recognizes his then binding of a legally non-binding version, setting it somewhere in the vicinity of other things of this world are considered ridiculous and using weaker.
It is interesting that the point of which went - "Linden has the right at any time for any reason or no reason to suspend or terminate your Account, terminate this Agreement, and / or refuse any and all current or future use of the Service without notice or liability to you "- then the 7.1 remains in force without change, except that the shifted to the position of 2.6.
Anyone know why?
Consequently, the whole adventure of Second Life remains imagined and created , though no longer owned by its Residents , and the motto "Your world. Your Imagination" with each new modification of the website has fallen, and almost exhausted, and finally disappeared completely in the black version of M Linden.
Filip something explained and explained, especially when dywagacjach blog about the new version of the Tao of Linden (which also adds up to quite an extensive a talk) but somehow, without a word and a former passion. At the end of a clearing house such a climate slightly powspominał Burning Man festival - the inspiration for his concept of virtual community - and said goodbye.
He went to the new P Squared these games, and BBC took the overlap in the head, what happened to this once announced as a product of the revolution known as Second Life (beginning with his article on the lovely "Once upon a time ... ").
completely omit the issue of another newspaper outcry about the death of VR, especially on the face of SL. I think rather of Philip - and it's surprisingly very romantic. Nohow because otherwise I call it not proper, when somehow tasteless to my mind, that he truly recognized his three years ago now I had to propaganda to enjoy Second Life, which he abandons. Something is expired? That something is outdated? Because if so, maybe better to go where he goes?
If only told where to ...
Office of Philip on the island of P Squared;

Ps for the curious and insightful, and too lazy to look for yourself, dessert - the first and pristine Beta ToS.
