I was reading this issue from LibreWolf project when I read that some of new GitLab users were asking to give credit card information.

I had no idea this was a thing. According to the forum it’s a measure to avoid bots to use free CI workers time to mine shitcoins.

    Unless Gitlab changed things very recently, you only needed to provide a CC/DC if you wanted the free CI/CD pipeline enabled for your projects. Decline, and everything except the free pipeline works just fine.

      They haven’t. The thread linked is from 2 years ago.
