minus-squareMojojojo1993@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47·10 months agoI think it’s gotten to the point that we. (Collective) Have to start using alias. I know proton for a price gives fake mobile and email address. I have started using a 5th email to sign up to things. Have an extra number as well. It’s beyond a joke really. Tried to sign up for a budget app and it requires email phone and address. No. No you don’t require any of that. You want that to sell. And you’ve likely got inadequate protection. Nobody but my bank job and maybe a few places require all my info.
minus-squareXTornado@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-210 months agoOh proton gives mobile too… Ya know I didn’t feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn’t know. But I will be honest I didn’t see it mentioned on the web, it’s already a thing?

minus-squareObsidianZed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoBut could this also bypass dumb VoIP requirements for things like SMS 2FA? I’ve tried using my Google Voice similarly but I’m faced with “I’m sorry but this number cannot be used for this.”

minus-squarereagansrottencorpse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoCould you use Google voice to generate a dumby phone line ? There are probably better non-google options now though.
minus-squareBizzle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoWhy do you not just use OpenOffice Calc for your budgeting?
minus-squareMojojojo1993@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWhat’s that ? Just excel spreadsheet?
minus-squareBizzle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYeah except it’s fully FOSS. If you set up nextcloud there’s even a web app for it that’s pretty good.
