YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options

I had a job a few years ago where my account kept getting locked out (their IT security department was kinda paranoid and basically everything could get you locked out). I used this to crest a shortcut on my phone to call their automated help desk line and enter in my employee id / dob/ whatever else they needed to unlock my account, at one point it was happening several times a day. Left that job shortly after thankfully

Just my two cents

I feel like a lot of people coming over here from reddit (granted I'm one of them) don't really understand what federation is. The admin (the peeps actually hosting and running the instance) can do whatever they want. And unlike reddit, if you disagree with them you can just move to another instance. As I understand it (and they posted a large thread explaining all this) Beehaw wants to keep their community small and regulated, and with the massive growth of other instances like ours coming in they felt overwhelmed. It's totally understandable and we shouldn't be dicks about it

Very misleading title

The new analysis estimates a timescale for the collapse of between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050

To be clear, this is still really bad, but it's typical media reporting where scientists say sometime in the next 70 years and the media changes it to "next year"

The outlandish videos they do are pretty entertaining, I don't see how they're going to succeed as a data driven review channel given Linus' temperament. Like compare them to something like rtings and it's really night and day

Why lemmy instead kbin?

Lemmy has been around much longer right? Personally I'm using both, though kbin only very recently. That's the coolest thing about the fediverse to me; not only can lemmy instances federate and kbin instances federate, but a kbin instance can federate with a lemmy instance
