Do you think 3.2 and 4.1 should be merged, since they're almost always suggested together

Why do people keep suggesting here?
Most likely because this topic is the first thing you see in “Suggestions”, and someone who is fairly new to the forums may not know what they're actually supposed to do.

Edit: To everyone else: Scodex most likely is telling the truth when he says that he used machine translations for "some parts". The post is a combination of machine translation and human translation, and some parts of that post could only have been written by someone with knowledge of Dutch.
Based on this, I think I may leave it up, then? Personally I was waiting to see if you were going to claim to speak Dutch (this would have helped your case), but you don't seem to have stated this anywhere.

There ought to be a better way to bring this sort of stuff to my attention. Maybe I should have just kept profile comments open … But in the future with regards to translated lists, it would be helpful for all parties involved if it everyone communicated what languages they know, what form of translator they used, etc…. I don't need a Google Translate copied-and-pasted ChatGPT Burger King manager cover letter version of the list, but if someone who is fluent in a language translates the list using a healthy mixture of their own knowledge and a machine, using their knowledge of the language to fine-tune it to ensure that those who are fluent can understand it without much awkwardness, then that sounds good enough to me.

I don't think so. 3.2 and 4.1 are already quite long; we don't need an entry that says “Disable remixing or censor minor remixes or disable ‘See Inside’ or private sharing” with a four-paragraph-and-one-sentence-long description.

Just earlier today I saw a suggestion about restricting backpacking but not remixing; so it is clear that some users see the two as separate. 3.2 focuses on remixing while 4.1 focuses on sharing … if that makes sense.

Maybe simply adding a note about it to the original “Forever if” section is best. Saves a whole section about something thats almost the same as another!

A rejected suggestion was a voice recording extension, I was very tired to make Python Blocks, so I'll show you different blocks:

record:: extension

set mode to [speech-to-text v]:: extension

set voice pitch to [0]:: extension

when voice pitch is [10]:: hat extension

voice pitch :: reporter extension

recorded? :: boolean extension

stop recording :: cap extension
More blocks come soon…
I may share this to the Scratch Team, I guess so.

The speech-to-text isn't rejected, it's in the talks right now according to an image from the ngp topic (scroll to the middle image):

That will be suggested a lot, but the link must be one of an forum post.
