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.

UoPeople doesn’t charge for online college courses, course materials, or annual enrollment. Pay our minimal fees as you go, never upfront.

What are these minimal fees, and what are they for? I'm always skeptical of these online learning providers that imply they are free but don't quite say as much.

Printers and printer ink

They did see the criticism; in fact a lot of it was aimed directly at them. But they thought that they were right.

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...?

This is why Sony was making such a big deal about Call of Duty during the discussions about Microsoft acquiring Activision (owners of the Call of Duty franchise). Sony wanted reassurance that the Call of Duty games would still come out on the PlayStation consoles, and not be exclusive to Microsoft's platforms (Xbox and Windows). When you see that Call of Duty has been the best selling game nearly every year recently, you can understand Sony's plea.

Yes, weirdly the very same website wrote about it back then (https://www.iflscience.com/fully-intact-dinosaur-embryo-found-inside-fossilized-egg-62004). I'm not sure what inspired another article now.

This was originally published in 2021 so I wonder why it has a new article.

The source code of the original game was leaked last year.

This is pointed out in the article, and was even quoted in the very post you replied to.

This exact article was posted here 16 hours ago: https://lemmy.world/post/3034605

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.

I should have commented in the post that it is not my view and is supposed to initiate discussion. I've edited the original post with the following question:

While questioning scientific practices has led to some significant improvements despite heavy criticism at the time, how do we today justify dismissing unpopular/uncomfortable ideas while continuing to make scientific progress?

Thanks! This definitely puts the whole situation in a bit different light, doesn't it.
