This makes me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

UPDATE: Thanks @[email protected] for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

I tried to report an issue in GitLab. I needed to input my phone number and payment information to create an account. WTF? No thanks, I'll just not report the issue.

do you guys not have phones

When buying stuff online I find 0101etc works. Public numbers used to work fine for other things but not so much these days. If that doesn't work I usually don't give a damn about the service at that point (e.g. ShatGPT) #TeamBots

I used to have a disposable phone number just for signing up but it was more trouble then it was worth. If the website is shady enough, I go look somewhere else.
