Thanks Jup for coming on the #InworldReview show, n #HGSafari grid this was really a great conversation - we all learned a lot, mostly that I need to use more hashtags! #opensim #hypergrid

It has finally happened. I was a guest at Inworld Review and interviewed by Thirza Ember and James Atlloud of @HG Safari fame as well as Petlove Petshop today.

Here's the video, redirected to Invidious. (Link instead of embedding so I hopefully don't have to spend months writing a visual description that'll take you days to read or listen to.)

Better yet: Thirza wanted to interview me about the Fediverse. Good thing OpenSim users are already used to things being decentralised because OpenSim itself is. In fact, I could have told her that some of the tropes associated with OpenSim being decentralised apply to the Fediverse as well.

Extra shoutouts to @Elena Rossini for her Fediverse video featured on fediverse.info and to @Dorena Verne as a good example of a grid manager (see Petlove's video in the video) because she has managed to move Dorenas World from a Windows server to a Debian server and considerably speeding it up in the process.

For those who aren't familiar with Inworld Review: It's an OpenSim-themed talkshow on YouTube started by the late Mal Burns many years ago. His whole backlog of almost 400 episodes can be found here. And here is the channel on which Mal's former co-host continue Inworld Review without him with 62 episodes so far.

Sad news from OpenSimWorld: Mal Burns, OpenSim's single most important live stream host, has teleported to the Big Sky Platform.

Mal was active in the Fediverse under @Mal Burns Main, @Mal Burns and, specifically for OpenSim, @Metaworld Opensim Social. He ran a weekly series of live streams on YouTube named Inworld Review, co-hosted by Thirza Ember (@HG Safari) and James Atlloud and with guests from all over the Hypergrid. He also regularly participated in Thirza's HG Safari itself, and it's through these events that I got to know him.
