In my home country, there are two big cases. First one is the famous Madeleine McCann case and the second is Rui Pedro case, a portuguese 11y old boy was last seen riding a bycicle near home. Both kids never happeared. More details in following links:
A prostitute, Alcina Dias, confirmed that [Afonso Dias] had taken Mendonça to see her on the day he disappeared. [Afonso Dias] allegedly drove up to see her in his car and asked her if she was working. When she assented, he offered to pay her to have sex with Mendonça.
and later
police forces raided alleged members of an international child pornography ring known as the Wonderland Club. The operation was code-named Operation Cathedral and resulted in the confiscation of 750,000 images and videos depicting 1,263 different children. Mendonça was among the few children (16 only) that could be identified. However, his whereabouts remain unknown and police suspect that he was murdered by his abductors after being abused on camera for other members of the paedophile ring.
Top it off with the fact that the police refused to take his disappearance seriously initially and just assumed he was lost or injured and would eventually turn up.
It really is. Police never confirmed that it was in fact Rui Pedro’s photos, but it’s the most believed theory here. That he was caught in child trafficking and murdered.
Point being it's one of many QoL updates which are currently on the back burner while a team works vigilantly on servers not blowing up.
It'll get fixed eventually.
Je n'ai aucune idée.
Le fait est qu'il s'agit de l'une des nombreuses mises à jour de la QdV qui sont actuellement en veilleuse pendant qu'une équipe travaille avec vigilance sur les serveurs qui n'explosent pas.
Nobody. No matter who the president is, they never hold their promises and the real leaders are the oligarchies that pays both democrats and republicans. So no matters who becomes president, it's never a win for the citizens.
They keep promising things that require congressional support. But the problem is if they didn't make those kinds of promises, the other guy would and voters would reward that. It's pretty fucked.
At 2020 debates I rooted for Elizabeth Warren. I live on the other side of the world and know nothing about american politics, but still think she would've been great president.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but karma/reputation points. It only encourages hivemind and echo chambers. I'm ok with thread-specific points so that content can be ranked, but that's it.
I've been a co creator on a game that's been in the works for about 10 years now, we finally started making real progress 3 years ago. It requires so much research, planning, and many many drafts let alone future fine tuning. I had to get better at drawing, developing designs, research many things about what and why characters look like.
It's something that I do because I want to bring to life this project, and it's an active part of my life.
It takes a lot of steps, so it naturally became time consuming. I am still passionate today as I was 10 years ago when the project was just a pipe dream. It was a place to escape to, something personal to grow. It was fun as it was difficult to create something, so I would say it naturally became something that takes many years to truly come to life.
I started working on my first game about 6 months ago and I am still far from done. Game Dev takes waaay longer than I expected. Just wondering what is the game that you're working on? And any advice when it comes to marketing? I haven't marketed shit yet and I procrastinate everyday.
It's actually a different sort of game than usual, it's more like a novel. It's a kinetic visual novel, so it's fairly simple and we're using RenPy- issue being to create the plot itself as we are making a sort of episodic series.
Marketing, well I've been trying to grow interest in my art and through that, interest in the novel by sharing the concept visual works as we go along. That way when we have something more firm I can share it with those who had already been interested in my art.
We don't really plan to make money off the game per se, but would just want the visual novel to be played and appreciated. I plan on making some merch for it as a way of support but since it's just me and my partner doing the work, it's our side passion project that we do secondary to our jobs
I think marketing wise, growing a community of interest is important, like whatever the type of game you're making, going in those spaces and getting familiar with fans of that type of game to generate interest
Start a nonprofit open source IoT hardware company. Internet-connected smart devices and appliances are cool, but not the way they are implemented now. I'd base everything on common hobby chips like ESP32, AVR, and STM32. Every single device would have a completely unlocked firmware upload port.
Yeahh...but there's no documentation, no schematics, and no legal ability to take the design and modify and redistribute it. That's what I want to change. I want to create the Linux of IoT.
