That's disappointing. I was quite enjoying it.

I don’t know which thread you’re reading, but you’re not summarizing this thread. You’re having difficulty following apparently. Here’s the original post:

“It’s funny just reading the headline… Experts warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it xD isn’t research in general just good” This was posted by lemmy user: @Azzu@lemm.ee

I am summarising this thread. This, from what you quoted:

warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it

is precisely what I was referring to with

  • why is it bad that X country is doing better

You’re right on this part. Your quote there, and my quote in prior posts which match that, are the answer to that original poster.

...and then you proceeded to convey the same sentiment in the discussion:

the decline of USA’s science research indicates a problem in the USA. That is a problem, wouldn’t you agree?

The strawman I am talking to does not realise that they are being parochial and continues to argue instead of correcting their behaviour.

I don't understand how you think you can argue this point, when the conversation is literally

  • why is it bad that X country is doing better
  • because USA is doing worse

And so the title assumes that the reader is from the US and would surely agree that this development is bad.

But you know this. You are arguing in bad faith.

"Washington" seems quite convinced of an imminent WWIII, and I'm guessing they intend to spend a lot of time in Asia.

It was posted to this international community. Regardless of the original intended audience, in this place the discussions should not assume nationality.

This sounds very interesting. I wouldn't mind if you expanded on it.

Problem for the USA

Dubious is your opinion on any subject.

Whatever your reason for saying that is, there is nothing I could possibly reply with that would make you consider any perspective I have to offer. Yet, here I go.

Al menos hablas español? O sos un chanchito del hemisferio norte jugando a revolucionario?

I understand Spanish to some degree because I have family in Colombia, but I suck at using it. I could trivially use a translation tool to help me compose a witty response, but that would change nothing.

5 M expatriates were held out of the ellection. Even with put the tallies, the ellection is a complete farse…

The fact that this is besides the point is the very point I'm making: stay. the. fuck. out. of. other. countries'. internal. politics. It's really quite simple. Unless you are an imperialist, obviously.

 

My partner and I are sharing our libraries with each other on both the Steam Deck and our desktop PCs, but the list of actually borrowed games constitutes only a fraction of our complete libraries. I would expect all (non-F2P) games to show up under either borrowed or excluded.

From searching around, it seems to be a recurring problem for various people, and it either spontaneously fixes itself or after deauthorising and reauthorising (some reporting they had to clear Steam's cache - which is the only thing I haven't tried yet because that would be a massive inconvenience). But I'm not finding a lot of solutions or answers to what the deal is.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

Edit: it looks as if the listed "borrowed" games are only those that have been actually played at some point, so it's possible the list isn't meant to be exhaustive. Doesn't explain the missing majority of games however.

Edit 2: I don't know if it was always the problem, but I just realised I had "show only ready to play games" selected, which obviously excludes all uninstalled games. I noticed because I tried downloading a game through the other account to see if that changed anything, and indeed it showed up. Mystery solved, hopefully.

(In a petty attempt at salvaging some dignity I want to add that I've had the problem of shared games not showing up before and I could swear this was not the problem...)

 

It's almost exclusively about USA right now and frankly I'm sick of this US-centrism.
