[12:04] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation’s weekly aquatic gathering. I’m Fina, one of SWF’s resident mercats (no, I’m not the only one) and I’ve been asked to stand in to lead today. =^-^=
[12:04] Santih (susan.hunniton): Weeee! ^.^
[12:04] Sapphira Franizzi: *ahem *Miranda slacker
[12:04] Sapphira Franizzi: ahem Miranda tratanna
[12:04] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): I mean
[12:04] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): We have a new format (which is not really that new anymore =^-^=) so – without further ado,
[12:05] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[12:05] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): Safe Waters Foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group for merfolk and aquatics of SecondLife. We bring together designers, retailers, sim owners and managers, as well as merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of the same. (Including those perverted pirates – we’re all-inclusive! =^-^=)
[12:05] Santih (susan.hunniton): hehe
[12:05] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): Unfortunately, we don’t have time to repeat for those who arrive late and/or depart early, but that’s okay, we post a meeting log on our website later – that would be http://www.swfsl.com – remember, our motto is Mer helping pirates be dragons! Oh wait…
[12:05] Santih (susan.hunniton) giggles
[12:06] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi) shuffles her script and looks confused

[12:06] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): must be
[12:06] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): De-lagging: Because we usually have good attendance, it would be ace if you could remove extra attachments and HUDs, such as big poofy hair with resizers still in them, scripted weapons, bitcoin miners, griefer HUDs, bling jewellery from 2009 etc…
[12:06] drákos (kraken.darkheart): Never seen one so far

[12:43] Rhodan Fishbottoms (rhodan.fishtail): It’s just a singular building in Kelpwick with a library theme. And a mer skellington or two.
[12:43] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): for builders?

[12:44] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): I don’t remember exactly who’s putting it up for sale for RFL, but keep a lookout for it during FF or other events!
[12:44] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): alternatively, you can just nab a copy from me =^-^=
[12:44] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): there used to be a store in the FD mall – is it related from that

[12:44] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): special thanks to Rhodan who gave me an important idea for one of the latest versions
[12:44] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): back in 2021 or so
[12:44] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): if you wear the HUD you can see the garbled things Fina says
[12:45] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): to use pseudorandom values for the translation instead of fully random
[12:45] Matriarch Mermaid: To’lu tonunu nadena
[12:45] Matriarch Mermaid: I’m always garbled
[12:45] Rhodan Fishbottoms (rhodan.fishtail): Oh yeah, I shared some stuff I did for the dolphin translator I was working on at the time.
[12:45] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): that’s all
[12:45] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): Antiquity stuff is not my problem =^-^= Miranda can do that when she’s here
[12:45] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): ok
[12:45] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): may I share
[12:45] Jameelah (simone.lyvette): I would like the mermish hud, I think I got one a while ago at FF if I recall.
[12:45] Rhodan Fishbottoms (rhodan.fishtail): Pseudorandom is the best option some of the time, every time.
[12:46] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): okies, stick is yours Granny

[12:46] Jameelah (simone.lyvette): thank you ?
[12:47] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): they have a mer mall (not very developed yet) and a lot of swims to explore
[12:47] drákos (kraken.darkheart): What is a “Corporate Sponsor”? out of curiosity
[12:47] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): they require tops if you are female and go above water
[12:47] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): moment on that question drakos
[12:47] Sapphira Franizzi: yeah what is a *corporate *sponsor?
[12:47] Sapphira Franizzi: trara llilli fan nu corporate sponsor?
[12:48] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): Miranda is from there and they have a mer group with fun activities that don’t cost much usually
[12:48] Rhodan Fishbottoms (rhodan.fishtail) wouldn’t mind a top now and then, either…
[12:48] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): corporate sponsors are companies in SL who fully support and contribute to the mission and goals of SWF
[12:48] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): Chicky Darkhart is the coordinator and out on a sanity break at RL beach right now
[12:48] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): parters

[12:49] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): partners can nominate otheers
[12:49] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): oh I thought Chicky was coordinating for Antiquity
[12:49] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): you mean coordinating for corporate partners?
[12:49] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): and partnership is by invitation only and involves an annual donation
[12:49] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): no I think Miranda is the Antiquity coordinator
[12:49] Sapphira Franizzi: hey, who farted?
[12:49] Sapphira Franizzi: ta, tanlu denulan?
[12:50] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): yes Chicky handles the invitations and getting the partner benefits to them
[12:50] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): okies
[12:50] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): they have a free adboard for a year, a portal in our partner building and are represented in our promotional efforts
[12:50] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): I have been giving out a few invitations but really hoping chicky jumps back on it – as everything we do is reasonably priced so open to many
[12:51] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): Haven sims are a corporate partner also
[12:51] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): thank you Drako!!
[12:51] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): the partner building is the most popular area of our sim
[12:51] drákos (kraken.darkheart): Welcome Grace. I know that. I was just confused with the word “Sponsors” 🙂
[12:51] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): does it has snacks?
[12:51] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): it has portals to the partner sites – but also has the portals to the SWF hangouts
[12:51] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): a great place to show visitors
[12:52] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): sorry – I keep slipping up on that word

[12:57] Granny Grace (matriarch.mermaid): thanks Peaches!!
[12:57] Peaches2U Camino: basic way to explain the vid
[12:57] m?rrig?n m?ri? r?v?nhurst (morrigan.ravenhurst): they did something to the simulator that makes it re-evaluate primmage and makes it less
[12:57] Peaches2U Camino: they LIGHTENED the weight of MESH on sl
[12:57] Jameelah (simone.lyvette): everyone get prims?
[12:57] Peaches2U Camino: it already happened
[12:57] Peaches2U Camino: everyone gets more on their land
[12:58] Peaches2U Camino: think of mesh as built with FEATHERS
[12:58] Peaches2U Camino: instead of regular PRIMS
[12:58] Jameelah (simone.lyvette): wow, it’s only right to do that, good news
[12:58] Peaches2U Camino: mesh is less land impact
[12:58] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): oh
[12:58] Peaches2U Camino: with the wave of their magic wand
[12:58] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): when will this hit FS though, I wonder
[12:58] Peaches2U Camino: they REDUCED the weight of mesh over all of SEcond Life
[12:59] Peaches2U Camino: already done
[12:59] Peaches2U Camino: look at your Aboout Land
[12:59] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): ~YAY!!! \ (@o@)/ / YAY!!!~
[12:59] Peaches2U Camino: *About Land
[12:59] m?rrig?n m?ri? r?v?nhurst (morrigan.ravenhurst): all mesh stuff is lighter in primmage
[12:59] Alyx (alyxadventures): Yeah I gained a whole load on my little parcel 😀
[12:59] Nicholas Hawthorne: it’s server side, not client side. but as for PBR FS doesn’t yet have it
[12:59] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): I think what Peach meant is it was already light before but got even lighter
[12:59] Peaches2U Camino: yaaaaaaaay
[12:59] Rhodan Fishbottoms (rhodan.fishtail): It means people can fit more mesh on their land, but doesn’t make mesh any easier on your computer or the server. So lag sill still be the same. Or worse if people cram in more mesh.
[13:00] Peaches2U Camino: Yesah
[13:00] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): (and not all mesh stuff is lighter)
[13:00] Peaches2U Camino: too true^^
[13:00] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): a big cube, for example, will be lighter as a prim
[13:00] Peaches2U Camino: done^^

- to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them
