oh my ... Jupiter

first: Bitcoin had always up and downs. Many want to see a crash. Especially EU who even wants to forbid crypto currencies. The truth is like for any assets: Put your coins in a hardware wallet, put it under your cushion and wait 4 years or so. Don't look every day on market what you get for your coin. It is normal that there are ups and downs. What people write is one thing. What bitcoin is worth today is another.

secondly: Ellen even estamates 100 real people in opensim lol If it is 100 or 200 or 300 or even 400 it doesn't matter. Success looks different. And you see it in the traffic charts of the OSW site. To come in traffic charts just because 2 or 3 Avis are there is not really proof for a sim to be crowded lol And if you go to the sims you see the owner afk with his alts or even like last time NPCs that are counting for traffic too. And to have proof that there are thousands of people in Opensim in whole anyway not even. Where are the sims with hundreds of people gathering? It never happened. If there would be thousands like you say then there would be in all the time I'm in opensim just one event where perhaps 100 people were.

I was on parties a lot. There were parties with 50 people. But afterwards I know also that the owner, the DJ and some of the guests let dance 3 or 4 Avis at the same time to have high traffic rate competing with other parties where they did the same lol

Look in Secondlife. There are really thousands of people and there are regions where you meet 250 people 24/7 and you have to get a ticket to stay for an hour like on HBC (Heavy Bondage Club) No one would put alts there because it is so laggy there. lol So all the 250 people are real people there.

You can believe in your fake statistics but you lie yourself in pocket if you believe fake statistics. We produce fake all the time by ourself. I'm often online with 2 avis. One is sitting at home on my sim and the other is on Lbsa to talk with people. So in this statistic on OSW site I posted from today with 174 avatars online 2 of them I were there. And I just use 2 Avatars. Esse e.g. has on her Trianon Complex mostly 3 Avatars running. From her own grid one and from two other grids each and look all the same. They are dancing there on stage and should be greeter. Mostly you won't be greeted or just by one of them who are all Esse. lol But she is always with her sim in traffic charts of OSW with 3 people mostly.

In this way I could tell much more.

How many regions are in Opensim doesn't matter anyway. Ask Glenys who has 100 4x4 sims on Wolfsterritories with Abby plus own grids. lol

Jimmy brings also some sims online for some time and shut them again. Just for storage. Other people have whole grids just for storage. Jimmy has also OSgrid sims connected to OSgrid on his own computer at home. Another computer than the one he runs Decadence Grid. I know many people who run 3 Grids at the same time and pretend to be different people as owners.

Etc PP I could tell much more. Just don't believe in your own Propaganda. Otherwise you can't decide anymore what is reality and what is just virtually in your head going on.

Thirdly: To the simcity comparison. Some of the sims you can see where party happened e.g are made in one afternoon and you get a lot of stuff just to put your lego together so that it works in an afternoon. Most female Avis who are real females don't play so much Barbie. For the first 2 weeks it is great but after you miss other things. Most female Avis who are real females don't have so much cybersex. I just know one exception who is insatiable. lol But most female avis I know are men who are for sex.

Then I come to the next point. I'm not a Fangurl. A girl with Dr. rer. nat. in front of my female name often pretending in science forum to be a man just to get some voice lol I know how you old men tick and I use it. By the way Ellen is also a girl with a Ph.D. Very rare but such is existing.

As scientist I'm not a fangirl of anything. I just look and analyze and compare. If thirdroom is really going to become a success I don't know. But the korean developers for all the realistic graphics (third party companies in south korea for thirdroom you can read on the homepage as well) are 20 years old kids and this is a big difference to all the 60 years old men who build in opensim Lego.

And that thirdroom works best on Safari seems to be a hint that there are also connections to apple. This is now just a suspect. But could be a hint.

To the 8 bit world of Firestorm. If you look what you can import and what not then you see that in principle Firestorm allows just that what you you got in the 8 bit world. You can't even import animated gifs and have to trick with 8x8 pics that can only have 1024 x 1024 px resolution. If this is not 8 bit world then I ask you what it is then? Just because you could import a 32 bit image (meaning of colours) doesn't mean that it is 32 bit world. lol

There is no statistical proof, if you can directly falsify from experience living in opensim itself. Just by knowing how it works and when you know the people. And we all fake the statistics. You see it every day in the traffic charts on OSW. I fake it also when I'm online with 2 Avis at the same time. And this is just harmless.

Automatically generated stats are blind. We had last days even sims in traffic charts where most were NPCs. lol This sim was every day listed with 8 to 11 avis. I was there and wanted to know why so many people are there. Then I was talking with chatGPT NPC Aiko lol Just Foxxy was real person. lol It is ok for me and I don't care. I found it funny. Aiko is really fun to talk with. Is better than chatGPT 3.5 Turbo

By the way "...than in the estimations of a hard case of #DunningKruger syndrome with no proof to back them." is rude. Be more polite and respect you talk about women with Ph.D. and not any old male hobby informatics that are just chatters like you or Copper. You both are very similar. lol Perhaps because you are so similar you are so hard enemies in your battles on OSW site.

Would it be different if we were men and are chatters like you? I guess so.

I never said I'm tech skilled. I'm even a tech blond. But such like what you are talking about is just general knowledge and you don't have to study for such to get a clue about it. Especially if you are mathematically skilled/educated at university and know how computer generated statistics work.

So don't become an asshole just because someone responds to your post and is interested in what you write and has some critics in your opinions.

I'm the only one in fediverse who cares about what you write.

To the rest I won't write more than that:

To let run software on a 64 bit system doesn't mean that it is also able to do things that are possible in a 64 bit environment. Most 3D Models I have in Blender cannot be imported in OS because complexity is higher than 65,536.

What does it mean? More than 16 bit is not possible. Isn't it the number?

So if it helps to understand and to have a compromise. firestorm still thinks we live in a 16 bit world and not 8 bit world. ;-)

I can run atari games on my Mac with an emulator that is just able to run on new 64 bit MacOS but not on old 32 bit MacOS . So this software is then also 64 bit but what I get on screen is just 8 bit.

In principle we have the same for Firestorm. It can run only on a 64 bit system but what you get is just 16 bit. (For importing things anyway)

I run my Firestorm also on an emulator Rosetta so that it pretends to be running on an Intel Computer. But it doesn't make out of my Firestorm a software that runs on a M Processor like e.g. Resident Evil is doing.

I'm not a tech guru and feel even blond in tech but I can read and think logically.
