Mika<p><span>I normally don't get stopped at police roadblocks but I was stopped twice tonight - the first time I actually was (fortunately) sent back home (which fortunately again, was just 5 mins away) to retrieve my ID first which I didn't bother carrying cos really I just wanted to send my partner back home and wasn't planning on encountering a roadblock </span>😮💨<span><br><br>Enough about the roadblock tho, this post is actually a complaint/rant about the fucking </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/JPJ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JPJ</a><span> app (and a lil bit on </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/iOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iOS</a><span>). I've the setting on iOS enabled where it automatically uninstalls apps that are rarely used, while retaining the app data. I've always found it stupid that </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a><span> does not allow you to manually flag an app to be excluded from this automatic rule, because obviously there are some apps that you need </span><b><span>at all times</span></b><span> but don't necessarily open/use frequently - let me fucking keep these apps installed, and enforce that auto-uninstall rule on anything else. Because of this, I had to fucking stop by the roadside (while the cop waited) to install it. That wasn't the end of it, the app forced me to update it before I could even access it, and I had to wait for all that some more.<br><br>As if that wasn't enough, JPJ has a stupid fucking rule where it forces u to update your password every who knows how fucking long, but one thing for sure I know it's insanely frequent cos this is the third time it's happened to me (tho first, during a police stop) despite rarely ever using the app. So I had to reset my password, wait for the fuckin' TAC and all that crap until I </span><b><span>finally</span></b><span> was able to get inside the app. The cop was kind enough to wait, and advised me to keep a screenshot of my digital driver's license and car road tax - so I don't need to go thru the hassle of the JPJ app.<br><br>It's not the first time I've heard of that advice but I've always thought it's ridiculous to rely on a solution as janky as keeping a self-made screenshot for proof of my license to drive, and that the car could be on the road. As much as I criticised the </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/MySejahtera" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MySejahtera</a><span> app throughout the entire pandemic, at least that shitty app had the idea of implementing a simple feature of exporting your COVID-19 vaccination records into a neat, little PDF for display when required. Folks at JPJ have never had that thought, I'm sure.</span></p>
