  • Sure, but it's still a lot more reliable than something like the amazon review section, or a lengthy AI-generated article comparing the two products you just happened to google together that somehow manages to say nothing at all.

  • Honestly, I still just google for relevant reddit threads. Lemmy's the only place I actively participate in, but this is one of the use cases it hasn't been able to replace reddit for for me either yet.

  • Hi, this is Andy here, the Founder/CEO of Proton. As former scientists, we don't do what we're doing to make the most money (otherwise we wouldn't have picked science as a profession). There's no price which we would sell Proton to Google or Facebook. We also don't need to because thanks to the strong support of the community, Proton has the resources to thrive and grow as an independent organization. Safeguarding this independence is how we ensure that over the long term, we can always put user interest above all else.

  • Bringing Harry Potter into this, the fact that they showed they do know how to do this, when Dumbledore and Voldemort fought in the 5th movie, makes it all the more annoying that almost every other fight in the series was just shooting blasts and energy beams at each other

  • Heat transfer works both ways - so if they feel you as cold then you'd feel them as warm. In my experience dogs usually don't stand out to me as being particularly warm so I'd guess their fur is a good enough insulator to prevent much heat transfer during normal casual contact. It's been a few months though, maybe I've just forgotten how warm the embrace of a dog is.

  • At least in the US, I think the jury's still out on how history will view X/Y/Z's handling of the climate, because... the boomers are still handling it. Once the government starts to be mostly non-boomers, I think we'll probably see an enormous shift in that sort of policy.

  • I like the idea. You were actually my introduction to Heathcliff comics, so I didn't really get it at all at first. But they're so pervasive on Lemmy that I've picked up what you're doing over the past few months. Probably would have figured it out faster if I'd ever visited the comment section before today.

  • Plus even that isn't enough: 10/3 has an infinite decimal expansion (in base 10 at least) too, but if π = 10/3, you'd be able to find exact circumferences. Its irrationality is what makes it relevant to this joke.

    A mathematician is also perfectly happy with answers like "4π" as exact.

    Plus what's to stop you from having a rational circumference but irrational radius?

    Writing this, I feel like I might have accidentally proved your point.
