[–] BellyPurpledGerbil@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago (1 child) Everyone I need to talk to is in my contacts. If you're not in my contacts, my phone doesn't even ring. You go straight to voicemail. I was fine with phone calls when I was younger. Now it's mostly spam robocalls or scammers or both. Nobody seems interested in solving those problems. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) I am interested in solving them. Here's how: if you get any phone call that makes you even the slightest bit irritated, you hit a button and receive a quarter paid by the caller. This is traced through carriers. If the trace cannot continue for any reason or exits US jurisdiction, the most recent carrier foots the bill. I guarantee that spam calls will suddenly cease to exist overnight. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago I like the way you think.
