Yet another day of screaming at digital enshitiffication:

1. My coworkers and I are in a car driving to FOSDEM.
2. We pull up to charge the car.
3. Charging station REQUIRES you to use an app, no option to just pay with a card.
4. We try to install the stupid app. We carry phones running:
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- LineageOS, postmarketOS, iOS
5. Neither of our phones meet requirements to install the stupid app (Play Integrity API).
6. My iPhone can't install the app, because it's "Not available in your country".
7. We give up and drive to another charging station.

This is NOT how you introduce applications, "Circle K"

@elly i just don’t understand why these charging stations have to be different that gas stations 😕
They are a mess in .de as well

@sven @elly One of the reasons I still stick to diesel. Apparently there is a law change coming in Norway to enforce same payments alongside other fuels

@andersgo @sven @elly My experience in Norway with these apps has been quite meh. They require tons of personal information, you need to have several apps because not all work everywhere, and they impose a huge logical and (app works /\ data network /\ app servers etc.). Juste use a credit card like for gas!

UE could and should mandate it.
