Seen in a SF Muni station

Edit to add: Jeez, relax. I was on my way home from a doctor’s appointment and saw that ad. It made me chuckle so I posted it here.

If seeing this post really upsets you, take some deep breaths and keep scrolling. With any luck, you’ll have fully healed in a couple of days.

    Lol, people have post-reddit PTSD if they think you’re a shill. Maybe if/when Lemmy hits the mainstream but man, we’re so off the radar most marketers have no idea this place exists.

    It’s a waste of money unless you’re advertising something for Linux and/or communism… which would be a bit of a paradox, lol

    Mullvad is one of those services that just works and I never worry about whether my server’s connection has fallen over. It’s fairly priced, transparent, and doesn’t abuse my privacy or trust. They never try to lure me into buying more/bigger/better like pretty much every company does now. Much like my water supply, I literally forget that the underlying solution exists because it so reliably does it’s job.

    Feeling the same about Tailscale recently, but this comment is bait to find out if I’m wrong! Not paying yet but considering it.

      Windscribe enters the chat.

      Biggest mistake I ever made was signing up for them. just the constant daily emails trying to be “funny” to get me to return.

    Mullvad is great, only VPN i’ll ever use. I’m just a random number to them. no emails, no names, nothing. Hell I can even just pay them in cash if I wanted. Their service has improved too. on some wifi networks it would take me a couple minutes to connect but now it’s instant. Soon as I boot into my WM just “mullvad connect” in the terminal and I’m good to go.

      I pay for mine with vouchers, just as convenient as a credit card as long as you renew ahead of time, and just as anonymous as cash.

      Wish I could buy them somewhere other than amazon though.

      I’m going back to Europe for a few months for a visit. I was looking at other VPNs and they were offering me cheap discounts but I’d have to sign up for 2 years or some shit. Mullvad was very straightforward in their pricing and I was able to generate the VPN config and I have it installed on my travel router really easily.
