It's labelled "Lumo by Proton". "From the scientists behind Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and the nonprofit Proton Foundation." Maybe you need to fix your messaging. Regardless, it's still a LLM, how its accessed doesn't change how it hoovers up resources unnecessarily.

I don't have many friends anymore. While others rushed to "return to normal" I decided that the scientific papers I'd read told more truth than governments focused on economics, that I wanted to minimise my risk of being part of the "acceptable losses", and kept up COVID precautions.

But it sure would explain a few things. To be clear, trauma, PTSD, minimizing propaganda, peer pressure, & the normalcy bias could be solely responsible for everyone not caring about whether or not they’re repeatedly infected with a dangerous virus.

Has anyone figured out a way to diplomatically suggest to their friends or family members that repeat COVID infections may’ve given them subtle frontal lobe damage that decreases empathy and the ability to accurately assess risks? That’s a tricky one.
Ken O'Bee (@kenobee.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly: if by now people haven't concluded that repeat infections is bad, they don't WANT to know, and perhaps that's because of those infections and how COVID f's with risk assessment. Which means it's too late. Personal experience: people just glaze over when you mention it and change the topic

Closing one's eyes to the danger of Covid-19 will not make Covid-19 go away. Covid-19 is a threat to every human life. No amount of denial will lessen the harm caused by repeated infections. Those who refuse to wear respirator masks are choosing an abject fate of disease and misery. #COVID19
