Who said anything about challenging views all or most of the time?

The issue with constructive dissent is that if someone perceives an initial idea as bad, it cannot be dismissed or criticised; it has to be built on. Do we want things to be built on flawed foundations? We should be able to say “no” without being cast out from our own community.

I think we need to either redefine safe spaces, change people’s expectations of them, or get rid of them entirely.

This is a very extreme example. I’m saying that more nuanced discussion and differences in views from within a community struggle in safe spaces.

I understand the concept. I’m saying that this way of working creates echo chambers.

Unfortunately, a lot of these safe spaces become echo chambers. People don’t want to have their views challenged or try to see things from other perspectives. Many attempts at constructive dissent as mentioned in this post are discouraged and are generally unwelcome.

A spokesperson told Bloomberg that the fee will “help cover the costs of running a separate infrastructure and measuring its effectiveness.” So a significant part of the fee is to pay for measuring it? What’s that phrase about the bureaucracy expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy again…?

I did use the cross-post feature. Many apps do not recognise or acknowledge cross-posting yet which might explain why this article may have appeared multiple times for you.

This bot should see when a link has already been posted and not duplicate it. Similarly, some kind of automod should prevent the same article being posted twice.

As you’ve been very diligent reporting errors and suggesting changes to map data, have you ever considered contributing to OpenStreetMap? You might like helping by using the app Every Door on iOS, for example.

If they’re cross-posted they’ll show up only once (though not all apps support this feature yet). I cross-post when I know something is especially relevant to multiple communities. If I don’t then someone else will, either not cross-posting or using a different source, meaning it will definitely show up multiple times to people.

This was discussed on both communities you posted this two five days ago:

How are you choosing your destinations in the first place? There just be a reason you’re traveling to these places, especially as you state it’s specifically for tourism. Wouldn’t it make sense to do/see the things that attracted you there in the first place?

While the heatwaves, wildfires and floods are the most dramatic examples of the way burning fossil fuels is altering our climate, there are less obvious dangers. Research into the number of mosquito species resident in Finland has just added number 44: Culex modestus. This is a surprise because this is a tropical species and a known carrier of the West Nile virus, which causes an illness that used to associated mainly with central Africa.

Since Finland is well to the north of the UK and considerably colder, it is of no surprise that this species has already moved into Kent and Essex and probably much farther north in the UK if anyone cared to look for it. In fact, the UK Health Security Agency has known that an outbreak of West Nile virus has been possible since 2012, when large populations of this species were discovered in marshes in south-east England.

The possible danger season for catching the virus is in August after a bite by an infected mosquito, but in most cases the symptoms are flu-like aches and pains so most people would not think to trouble their doctors if they felt unwell. But the disease is not always mild. The worst outbreak so far in Europe was in Romania, when 800 suspected cases resulted in 17 deaths.

So you’re not looking for an audio editor, but rather live recording software that supports multiple simultaneous inputs? The more specific your request for help is, the better suggestions you’ll get.

What features is Audacity missing for your needs?

Is dupeGuru what you’re looking for?

dupeGuru is a tool to find duplicate files on your computer. It can scan either filenames or contents. The filename scan features a fuzzy matching algorithm that can find duplicate filenames even when they are not exactly the same. dupeGuru runs on Mac OS X and Linux.

dupeGuru is good with pictures. It has a special Picture mode that can scan pictures fuzzily, allowing you to find pictures that are similar, but not exactly the same

How do you feel about finding things difficult and failure? Because that’s really important to consider when thinking of suggestions. It also depends how dedicated or how hard you are on yourself.
