In short, I don't think Politics belongs on the OSW page. There is Facebook, Instagram, tictoc and other social media platforms to express our views. Most of us come here to Opensim to escape the BS, and we use the OSW page to see what is new in Opensim, not to have to deal with more ideologies and agendas. Please keep the politics out of the OSW page.

Sometimes when you do nice things for people, someone will take notice. Thanks for the article, Hypergrid Business!

Ich denke schon das Donald Trump der neue Erlöser ist.
Wir sollten ihn als erstes mal kreuzigen und dann schauen was passiert.

I believe Donald Trump is the new savior.
We should crucify him first and then see what happens.

This is ToyBoy. We all know him as an active OpenSim user in OSW. He has many projects that inspire us, beautiful sims he invites us to, great events, technical support—what more can I say? A valiant champion of the OpenSim idea. Because of his diverse activities within Hypergrid, a certain troublemaker has rightfully caught his eye.

Now for the kicker: Dorena Verne, who occasionally posts political images with little captions. Yes, truly awful anarchist stuff from the wicked, wicked left-wing corner, ugh. Our eyes, like those of other users, are glued to these terrible images; we're paralyzed and can neither scroll on nor ignore the wicked Dorena, the power of a wicked witch.

What does Dorena actually do for OpenSim? Just offer several regions for HG visitors, hold at least one event per week. Or, yes, she recently posted a complete backup strategy for a grid under Linux.

Ridiculous!!!!

What's that compared to the sheer number of OpenSim-related posts from our highly esteemed ToyBoy? Just look at his profile; it would take you hours to take it all in!!

Yes, I'm that wicked Dorena, and I'm blushing with shame at ToyBoy's tremendous contributions to OpenSim!!

Okay, I hope you'll take this post with a grain of salt. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Das ist ToyBoy. Wir kennen ihn alle als aktiven OpenSim user im OSW. Er hat viele Projekte, die uns begeistern, schöne SIM's in der er uns einlädt, tolle Events, technische Hilfen, was soll ich sagen. Ein wackerer Streiter für die OpenSim Idee. Aufgrund seiner vielfältigen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Hypergrids ist ihm rechtschaffend eine böse Userin im Auge.
Nun kommts: Dorena Verne, die hin und wieder auch mal politische Bilder mit kleinen Bilderkommentaren postet. Ja, wirklich ganz schlimmes anarchistisches Zeug aus der bösen, bösen linken Ecke, pfui. Die Augen, wie auch die anderer User kleben an diesen furchtbaren Bildern fest, Sie sind gelähmt und können weder weiterscrollen noch die böse Dorena ignorieren, die Macht einer bösen Hexe.
Was tut Dorena schon groß für OpenSim? Nur etliche Regionen für HG-Besucher anbieten, mindestens einmal die Woche ein Event. Oder, ja vor kurzen mal eine komplette Backupstrategie für ein Grid unter Linux gepostet.
Lächerlich!!!!
Was ist das schon gegen die Vielzahl an themenbezogenen OpenSim Beiträgen unseres hochgeschätzten ToyBoy? Schaut in sein Profil, ihr werdet Stunden brauchen diese Menge zu erfassen!!
Ja, ich bin diese böse Dorena und Schamesröte steigt mir ins Gesicht ob dieser gewaltigen Einsätze von Toyboy für OpenSim!!
Ok, hoffe ihr seht diesen Beitrag mit etwas Humor. :-)

Trump Orders Use Of Secret Time Travel Technology to Fight Anti-Fascists.

A special task force of FBI, CIA, FDA, FCC, and WWE WrestleMania operatives have looked into the treasonous activities of Anti-Fascists, AKA Antifa. Together, they have uncovered evidence of Antifa activity within and on behalf of the U.S. government. As a WWE Hall of Fame honoree and Commander-In-Chief, Trump has ordered that America’s secret time-travel technology be used to cut Antifa off at its roots, way back in the 1940's, and even earlier.

Have a look at what we are fighting – a woke U.S. Department of War and it’s insidious anti-racism, pro-immigrant, religious diversity, DEI, anti-fascist propaganda. What in thunderation?

https://archive.org/details/0022_Dont_Be_a_Sucker_22_33_53...

We had our fun.

Dorena was kept very busy with it, and she had a pleasant way to spend the day, seems she loves drama!
I am not particularly impressed by the threatening messages regarding legal action that I received. She has no case.

Unfortunately, knowing Dorena, all of this will not mean that she stops making nonsensical political statements on our OpenSim platform. It seems she is already busy again with an alt account, Sylvester.

My actions were intended to make clear that many people on this platform are completely fed up with her nonsense.
Who knows, maybe she will mend her ways someday ;)

I will follow Bink Draconia her advise and delete the post I did and wish you all a nice day.

Kara House is free at my Region "Kara North East." This took me ages and made it a number of years ago. It is mostly prims but has mesh Windows and completely modifiable permissions are CMT - 196 prims!

HI all, So Wolf Software Systems Ltd owns Wolf Territories Grid. Some time ago, we released some software called WolfStack for running server clusters. It will run on top of Proxmox or any Linux distribution (sorry, not Windows). The website is https://wolfstack.org. It's free to use and has a lively discord group. We actually run Wolf Territories Grid on it.

We've put RCBot's OSFest 2026 Dates poll in the polling channel on the OSFest Discord server. If you are not on Discord and want to vote we can vote as your proxy. The choices are Aug 17-31, 2026 or Oct 12-26, 2026 - here to help if needed! Most OSFest Events will be on different grids scheduled via the updated OSFest Calendar application. The poll will be up for the remainder of April 2026 so everyone has a chance to vote.

Best of Bad Event Ideas: #1001
The Best At Tough-Guy Talk

Listen up, Mr. Smell-fungi and Ms. Mun-dungi. We’re having a “Best At Tough-Guy Talk” event, and we need more losers like you to attend. You know, the kind of person who shoots someone in a dream and wakes up to apologize. Someone who is as scary as a ruthless spelling bee contender. People who think they are a main character but are only an extra their own movie. You know the kind. Bald coot, bananaquit, leech-eating, plain-wandering stinkbirds. So come on, Mr. and Ms. Niny-Hammer of Noodles. Join all the other barbers, tailors, panders and procurers, parasites, and lick-spittles for an evening of real tough talk. Or are you just a facetious pettifogger?

Why is The Best At Tough-Guy Talk a bad event idea? Some people will take the insults seriously, like they do with OSW posts.

Thank you to Dorena for creating this original banner! I have taken it and made a banner for my profile. ANTIFA is NOT an organization. It is an ideology. The ideology of anti-fascism. I will be using this as a base. And I will ensure that the art festival supports my political message. Because ART is POLITICAL. It always has been. It always will be.

Erwarte treibende House-Sounds, fette Remixe und pure Eskalation!

MAZE VIEWER MAJOR UPDATE KDU 8.0
I am extremely pleased and excited to announce that I have obtained a license (and yes for those of you that may know this, I confirmed it today for sharing with the community--which is YOU , as an amateur) for KDU. For those that don't know what that means...it is well-- some of you said firestorm still looks a bit better than my work..well it is because of OpenJpg having to be used in opensim. The story is extremely long, it falls like star wars..long ago in a galaxy far away..I don't mind chatting with you about it, though, so say hello if you want to. KDU is the texture library firestorm uses. I wrote them and got the license for 150 dollars! I also added a zoom to whatever object is selected for editing. While it is selected just choose ALT+Z or in Controls in prefs choose your own. In Blender (.) zooms to selected so I duplicated the idea. https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip

Coffee Fixings - free to copy/buy for 0 in the Harris Hardware Store with the other coffee items. What can I say? I'm a details junkie:)

In the contents you can get all the separates too so you can arrange them in other ways. And the bowl is from Sketchfab and credited in the description.

Let me reiterate for everyone: If I belonged to a radical terrorist wing of the autonomous movement, would I be posting here? They keep to themselves and would kick my ass if I posted so openly. Besides, they also have the hacking capabilities to track down fascists online. Okay, I'm somewhat skilled at that last part, but what good would it do me? I abhor violence, and what I can't achieve verbally here wouldn't change anything if I were face to face. My language is sometimes very harsh and comes across as violent, which is also due to my despair at how brutalized and right-wing society has become, not just in Germany, but worldwide. And when I then see such incredibly stupid comments on my posts, it doesn't exactly reassure me. And yes, I am Antifa in the truest sense of the word. Anti-fascism. To those confused minds who think left is the new right, all I can say is, the earth is flat. *lol* The fact that I was even kicked out of an art event on a well-known German network yesterday because of who I am doesn't bother me. I already have a more lucrative offer that promises significantly more reach. Have a good life, everyone.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nochmals für alle Leute: Würde ich einem radikalen terroristischen Flügel der Autonomen angehören, würde ich hier posten? Die halten sich im Verborgenen und würden mir den Arsch versohlen, wenn ich hier so offen poste. Zudem verfügen die auch über Hackermöglichkeiten Faschisten im Netz ausfindig zu machen. Gut letzteres beherrsche ich ein wenig, aber was hätte ich denn davon?? Ich verabscheue Gewalt und was ich verbal hier nicht erreiche, das würde auch nichts beim Gegenüberstehen ändern. Meine Wortwahl ist mitunter sehr barsch und kommt gewalttätig rüber, was auch an der Verzweiflung liegt, wie verroht und rechtsorientiert die Gesellschaft geworden ist, nicht nur in Deutschland, nein weltweit. Und wenn ich dann noch so unsagbar dumme Kommentare zu meinen Beiträgen sehe, beruhigt mich das auch nicht wirklich. Und ja, ich bin AntiFa im eigentlichen Sinne des Wortes. Gegen-Faschismus. Zu den verwirrten Geistern die meinen, Links ist das neue rechts, kann ich, nur sagen, und die Erde ist eine Scheibe.*lol Das weil ich bin, wie ich bin, gestern sogar als Teilnehmerin bei einem Kunstevent eines bekannteren deutschen Grids herausgeflogen bin, stört mich nicht weiter. Ich habe bereits ein Angebot, welches lukrativer ist und bedeutend mehr Reichweite verspricht. Habt alle ein schönes Leben.

It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that Eurpean Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)
