Just yesterday wanted to create a new Gitlab.com account to add an issue to a project, the stupid thing not only required an email and a phone number, the bastards wanted a credit card
Just closed the site and went away instead. How is this considered okay to open a damn free account?
Credit card sounds real shitty but they probably require a phone number to make sure people don't just create more accounts for free CI minutes.
Yeah is insane lately
