No clue but I'd speculate it's just meant to be something quirk and different/fun.

As a side note I must confess a certain degree of uneasiness reading some of the borderline-toxic comments, which - to be fair - are nothing new.

This time around though it seems there's a certain obvious difficulty in certain commenters to contextualize what's being shown here.

I understand that "oh but that could be an app/website/whatever" or that "it's an US phone number, I ain't gonna use that" or "ahhhh, this is gonna be abused soooo bad" and so on and so forth... but folks: this clearly is meant to be something quirky and - I think - a v1.

Have we perhaps become a bit of a boring grumpy bunch around here? My 2c.

I've just tried the service all the way through and there's no phone billing whatsoever.

It'll just shoot you a Stripe link.

I think that's addressed in the FAQ:

> Currently, we only have a US based phone number that can be used to interact with our service. We understand that this can be expensive in some countries, so we will be working on a WhatsApp integration for the future.

Despite some of the negative comments here - as a postcard fan - I love this!

New comment by naetius in "Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT"

Sorry if I picked your comment but it seems one of the most upvoted.

What’s the correlation between the alleged privacy violations of OpenAI laid out in the article and the “bureaucrats only pretend to work”?

Honestly asking: if there are indeed privacy violations in OpenAI (we don’t know that yet I think) shouldn’t that authority address them?

New comment by naetius in "LastPass says employee’s home computer was hacked and corporate vault taken"

naetius — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:21:21 +0000

> Among other things, the vault gave access to a shared cloud-storage environment that contained the encryption keys for customer vault backups stored in Amazon S3 buckets.

Wow. So those backups - which I hope and assume are encrypted with users’ credentials and were supposed to have one more layer of “LastPass” corp encryption - now seem to be lacking the latter. This sounds equivalent to stealing the encrypted blobs from each and every LP user. (Hoping to be wrong here)

If one workstation getting hacked led to something like this I wonder what other mess is hiding in the crypto details…
