asjkk8, in What is the most unsettling/disturbing unsolved mystery that you are aware of?
@asjkk8@lemmy.ml avatar

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:

The second case is infuriating.

Mendonça was 11 years old

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.

Fucked 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.

Do i have to ask him? Or will it disappear on its own?

I have no idea.

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.

Ça finira par être réparé.

Merlu, in Aside from Trump or Biden, Who do you wanna see as the President of the United States of America?

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.

Tinister,

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.

TadeuszBonawentura, in Aside from Trump or Biden, Who do you wanna see as the President of the United States of America?

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.

Kbin enhancement script to the rescue! One of its features is showing the domain on federated posts and users.

MeccAnon, in What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?
@MeccAnon@kbin.social avatar

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.

DreamySweet,

I agree with this. Fake internet points ruin the internet.

@termagant@kbin.social avatar

Yes, karma farming just encouraged reposting of popular posts. I can't stand seeing the same thing over and over again- across and in the same subs.

Saturdaycat, (edited ) in How do you stay interested in something for a long time?
@Saturdaycat@kbin.social avatar

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.

dontforgetthat,

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.

Saturdaycat,
@Saturdaycat@kbin.social avatar

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

Tyson712, in Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?

Considering we can get lemmy content here anyway and kbin has a better UI, it's a no brainier

TimeSquirrel, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

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.

gatlace,

a lot of them do already tbh

TimeSquirrel,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

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.

Andrew Yang had me more interested in political activity than I've ever been before.

Unfortunately he's devolved quite a bit over the last few years, but his concerns around AI have certainly come to fruition recently.

Gamers_Mate,

Nice I will have to check it out.

For what it’s worth, Cornel West just turned 70, has views similar to Bernie Sanders, and is running for the Green Party nomination.

However, the media tends to marginalize third-party candidates.

Cornell West used to have views similar to Bernie Sanders. The Cornell West that is running for president right now I do not recognize.
