They would rather want everyone to use the Linden Viewer again. As it looks to me, Linden Labs is simply in an uncomfortable situation here as they are clearly in a losing position against Firestorm, even tho they won't (and will probably never) admit, Firestorm is having a certain level of control over Linden Labs, they might not be in the position to tell Linden Labs how to do everything, or something big at all but they definitely are capable of manipulating decisions of Linden Labs to a certain degree, they know exactly that they have pretty much 2/3 of the Second Life community behind them and killing it off and/or falling into certain decisions of them in any way without any rock solid reason could cause huge chaos and potentially risk their income.NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-9089474373048595492015-06-03T20:22:12.564+02:002015-06-03T20:22:12.564+02:00Sadly i fear even Linden lab wishes all to use fir... Sadly i fear even Linden lab wishes all to use firestorm. I don't have a problem with it, even if i only use as a benchmark to compare with other viewers, but the assumption that all use firestorm makes me always sad.<br /> But well, i dis start using LL viewer after like forever (funny i do remember saying i would never install it, lol) and now i don't even mind using it as the main viewer.ZZ BOTTOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109784340055338008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-4918407425794846822015-06-02T18:31:10.130+02:002015-06-02T18:31:10.130+02:00Thanks for the fix NiranThanks for the fix NiranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-72353008110494197092015-06-02T17:22:57.875+02:002015-06-02T17:22:57.875+02:00I remember when I first switched viewers, and the ...I remember when I first switched viewers, and the reason was being the implementation of mesh avatars, and at first I used the Emerald viewer, and even stayed with them and switched to Firestorm when it first came out. The viewer in general seemed super handy and didn't really cause any issues for me, thus I stayed. A friend introduced me to your viewer, I do believe it was still Black Dragon at the time, and I was blown away by how beautifully it ran and looked, with minimal strain on my GPU. Ever since then I have never even bothered going back to either LL or Firestorm. Black Dragon is always going to be my favorite viewer. I have never had a need to switch between viewers as I'm not a builder, at most I do simple modding for avatars of my own. All I have ever looked for was graphical performance, so Black Dragon is/was the viewer for me. <br /><br />And for as long as I can use it without problems I'm going to keep using it, so I guess I would like to thank you for developing the viewer for as long as you have, and I personally appreciate the time and effort and hard work you've put into it, just so you could be different than other viewers.<br /><br />I guess I could be seen as a silent user of your viewer, but I never knew about Firestorm's asshole-ish-ness until I read this big block of text.Doktor-Savagenoreply@blogger.com
