My sibling’s delightful ex-roommate–a conservative, 20something, middle-class, cishet white man–said that he feels very oppressed in their college town! He’s always scared of saying what he thinks bc then everyone will think of him badly! Literally the most oppressed! (His actual words)

Exactly this. I read the article in the post and thought it actually sounds like a nice service, but after getting this ad when searching “depression” on DDG last year, I don’t think I’ll ever trust them again lol.

Japanese Misskey/Mastodon servers have also been spammed by the exact same thing since about 15 hours ago, and it’s still going. I guess they’re targeting Lemmy as well now, damn…

I use Omnivore!

Our research has several limitations and should be interpreted with appropriate caution. Firstly, our evaluation technique likely underestimates the real-world value of human conversations, as the clinicians in our study were limited to an unfamiliar text-chat interface, which permits large-scale LLM–patient interactions but is not representative of usual clinical practice.

Yeah, the crypto stuff is getting too much, plus they’re shoving stuff like their VPN, search, and news down users’ throat. I used to use Brave as a secondary browser bc of its profile feature, but switched to Orion a couple weeks ago and never looked back.
