But... Why? Why would they get different restrictions on the basis of operating system?

This is the way.

Yo dawg, I heard you like bikes...

Sounds like that's in here:

"The test build shows the horizontal tab bar and the sidebar at the same time by default. A click on the new "hide tab strip" button hides the horizontal tab bar so that only the vertical sidebar remains."

Agreed. There's a slight relief here, though: I believe this is the Times Square shuttle train, which only runs back and forth over a few stations and never goes outside. So at least you're not on this train for long and never missing a view

Folks are asking "Why post this here?" I get the question but I think I also get the OP, as a New Yorker who was surprised to see this ad IRL.

Most of our subway ads are for VC-funded Internet darlings (think: mattresses-by-mail, kitschy underwear, online therapy) or for some aspiring blockbuster movie from an Internet giant.

Until I saw this ad, I had never in my life seen a subway ad for a company I actually used, let alone respected.

Seeing this ad in the wild broke my brain. I have advocated for online privacy for over a decade. I have spent so much energy pushing people to use Signal. But I had never before imagined that "online privacy" was a concept that could find an audience in mass marketing.

I don't know if Mullvad will take off. But I know that seeing these ads moved me. I felt like maybe, MAYBE, our movement is breaking through.

Cool article but Wired already published this 2 years ago. Wonder why they're repubbing?

Yes, that's all true. But that's a good argument for "You shouldn't only vote," not "You shouldn't vote." See the difference?

If the only action we take is voting, then the tyrants who aren't constrained by law will win. If the only action we take is direct action, then the tyrants win as soon as they outgun us. If we use voting to advance things in civil society inside the lines and direct action to keep the tyrants playing inside the lines, we win.

Hey, remember that time that reddit released a list of the most "reddit-addicted cities" and the #1 spot was a US Air Force base?

It's ok if you forgot, because reddit quickly took the post down.

Anyway, tell me more about Russians!
