“Finding meters, going back to the car to drop in the slip, extending parking” takes up very little of my life. I don’t like apps and generally hate the idea that I should be forced to 1) have a cell phone to park a car, 2) install closed source software on the cellphone, 3) be gaslighted by the vc and company behind that app that it’s for my benefit. In fact, it depresses me a little bit that the world is getting worse at an ever increasing pace.

2 days ago I was in the waiting room for a medical checkup. I had parked ~8 or 10 mins walk away, though day in the city. The doctor took more than I estimated, and renewing the parking was a total of 30 seconds from taking my device out of the pocket, hitting "Extend time", and "Confirm". Done, without risking that my turn might come during the ~15 or so mins I'd have been outside running through the street.
Some things are better in modern times. I'd rather have more time-efficient public transport to not need going by car, but that's a different topic.
