Is this a triangle?
  • There is no rule that the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. It only holds true in Euclidean geometry, which this is not.

  • American Science is in Dangerous Decline while Chinese Research Surges, Experts Warn | Scientific American
  • 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.

  • American Science is in Dangerous Decline while Chinese Research Surges, Experts Warn | Scientific American
  • 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.

  • In South Korea, outrage over key ‘pro-Japan’ appointments reopens WWII wounds
  • "Washington" seems quite convinced of an imminent WWIII, and I'm guessing they intend to spend a lot of time in Asia.

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

  • From the people who brought you GOT season 8 comes a show that has a bad ending people are shocked SHOCKED I SAY!
  • People are upset at the lack of an episode 9 and 10 to finish the season, and while upset, one is more like to pick up on everything and anything else that could be interpreted as bad. Then one wants to find validation online. So the internet is rife with people upset at the series, picking it apart and complaining about all the details that can be complained about - things that few would have complained about had there been an episode 9 and 10 to resolve at least some of the now highly pressurised cliffhangers.

    Edging is fun until you realise you're actually not getting any.

    I liked the season and enjoyed every episode, except in some sense the finale. It was good TV, but I felt stressed for most of its duration because they kept drawing it out and I couldn't imagine how they would manage to resolve all the built-up tension in the time left. When there was about 10 minutes left I began to realise that all these things they were talking about on the screen were unlikely to materialise, but thought that maybe they'd focus it all on a spectacular scene in King's Landing. All hope left me when it was down to 5.

    I want to complain about how they spent their screen time, but I'd rather there were simply 2 more episodes because I enjoy the pace. Maybe they could have cut the mud fight.

  • Exclusive: US, European lawmakers jointly condemn Venezuela's handling of election
  • 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.

  • Exclusive: US, European lawmakers jointly condemn Venezuela's handling of election
  • It's a statement and an intervention. Doesn't have to be literal military aggression to qualify as meddling.

  • Exclusive: US, European lawmakers jointly condemn Venezuela's handling of election
  • So based on suspicion, potential indications, circumstantial evidence, and bloody hopes rooted in political bias and grabby hands it must be the moral duty of the Free West to liberate all these helpless brown people that just can't figure out how to start a revolution.

    Actually, IIRC they do know how to do revolutions. I think they'll be ok without your fat fingers in their pie, mate.

  • Exclusive: US, European lawmakers jointly condemn Venezuela's handling of election
  • Do you think them helpless peasants that require the intervention of big brother USA whenever there is trouble?

  • Exclusive: US, European lawmakers jointly condemn Venezuela's handling of election
  • Even if Maduro's government is using undemocratic means to maintain power, who the fuck are the US and EU to take stances on and decide what Venezuela needs?

    Let the people of Venezuela decide for themselves. Fuck's sake.

  • Is there any advantage to tying game logic to frame-rate?
  • It may be of critical importance in some games that, no matter how low the framerate is, the player never misses an event due to skipped frames.

    There are also games that are not real time even in their animations, and so there may be no benefit to skipping frames rather than just letting it run at whatever framerate. Slowed tick rate mostly feels weird if one has certain expectations for the passage of time.

  • Steam library sharing isn't working properly for me. Has anyone else had this problem?

    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...)

    Can we keep this community global?

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