What have I been doing in OpenSimulator

I decided it's neccesary to update anyone who comes by on what's happened on this topic recently. Well ive been getting bored honestly..... The thing is there is no central area to search and jump arround regions meaning that I can't just hook myself up to a never-ending stream of new Content for my delectation. At least, none that I know of.

There is some good news: it seems that Cool Vl Viewer has gotten faster. I'm currently using v1.32.2.31 on my Pi 4. I went to OSGrid's Lbsa Plaza and......uh, it's not exactly smooth but I feel it is better than what it was before, eg. simply walking arround was an uncertain buisness. At this rate compiling the viewer myself would not be needed (which I feel would be a big relief to the Cool VL Viewer team for some reason even though they prolly have no buisness knowing about me or my website.) but like come on it took you months to fix that misnamed prebuilt library problem, idk.

I've hidden away my old tips as I would not be needing them. Besides they were cringe and probably factually incorrect.....except the one where you select Advanced -> Media -> Restart audio engine as it turns out that it helps if you switch to bluetooth headphones and there's no sound. Which is why I'm saying it here.

Are you still doing stuff with Worlds.com?

No, I uninstalled it when it became clear the central servers was not returning. If I were to do anything I'd want to port the default Worlds worlds into an Opensimulator grid. I don't know if I'd actually get arround to this as the required tool works with the one version of Worldsplayer that apparently does not run in Wine, and even then the provided instructions were a bit obtuse.

In case you are wondering where I'd even find these worlds they happen to come prepackaged with later versions of the Worldsplayer software. Based on some educated guesswork anything above version 1900 should do this.
