They do provide tunnels…

[–] kylian0087 78 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I love mulvad. Very unfortunate they hat to stop providing portforwards

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Eh, it seems like a pretty niche thing. If you still want that behavior, surely you could set up a VPS and forward your own ports, no? With Bitlaunch, you can even disassociate it from yourself if you want.

What did you use it for?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Most people use it for seeding torrents I think.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Ah, makes sense.

[–] kylian0087 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I have mostly switched to I2P for the seeding aspect.

Normal ad for a normal thing.

“Uhh, so what kinda ad do you think would really reach your target market?”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

mental illnessed.

You tired buddy? "Most mentally ill" lol.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mayhaps if you had more funnies in your mental, you wouldn't feel so illnessed by the manipulatious nature of their wordiness.

Looks like schizo ramblings. I love it

[–] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I hate ads on the outside of windows. And they give the little pinholes, like that’s supposed to be enough. The world becomes a blur. Out the window is the least anxious place to look on public transport, but they put ads all over the windows, and give us this pinhole grid crap like it makes up for it.

[–] chiliedogg 12 points 10 months ago

Ads in Windows are infuriating whether you're talking about panes of glass or your laptop.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yes, the wraps are a total bummer for sightseeing! They are very common in LA though, as not only a means of $$$'s in revenue, but as a cooling measure. The busses and above ground rail with these wraps are much cooler and easier to AC in the summer

Ever wanted to feel what it was like to be on the inside of a microwave? Well, now you can!

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This looks like something you'd see on /r/schizophreniarides

Side note but has that or InfowarriorRides migrated to lemmy yet?

One of the things I liked about Mullvad was that they didn't advertise. Has this changed recently or did they always do outdoor ads?

[–] Logical 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I've seen their ads in Sweden before IIRC. They don't seem to be very common though. Why don't you like that they're advertising?

[–] otterpop 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When companies start to focus too much on growth usually they start to lose sight of their values and greed begins to take over. That said I just checked their ad policy and while they do physical ads, it's still a pretty reasonable policy.

They still won't be showing up on random YouTubers videos like Nord

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Infinite growth on finite resources is such a bad idea on so many levels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They've actually ran adverts at the border of sweden telling politicians and alike that were going there to vote on IIRC ChatControl to vote against it

Mullvad is probably the best example of using ads for something good

They have a fair amount of ads in nyc.

[–] otterpop 4 points 10 months ago

I checked their policy, the physical ads are new

[–] ghostblackout 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mullvad is a good VPN. You might be asking why on a train it's because why not

[–] EvolvedTurtle 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Because it's an underground metro

Fits the mole theme

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

These particular lines are mostly above ground, light rail trains. They are only underground around DTLA

[–] ghostblackout 3 points 10 months ago

That makes sense

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I think that's graffiti.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Mr Resetti?

Is there even an underground subway in Texas? Asking as someone who used to live there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

I don't know why there would be. Texas is big, so overland trains would be much more cost effective.

Tunnels are expensive, and land is comparatively cheap (and we have lots of old rail lines we can reuse).

Because lots of people use Mullvad and think it's neat that there's a Mullvad train. This isn't a sponsored post, people just like Mullvad.
