🎩 Ah, the thrilling saga of "full-system timing simulation" returns—because apparently, saving us from boredom wasn't on the agenda. Meanwhile, #SIGARCH is busy showing off its endless #bureaucracy like a proud parent at a mediocre talent show. 🏆🎪

It turns out that mailing and shipping are different departments and require different forms. Do I want to mail the box or ship it? #bureaucracy

"Each institution had its own process,... forms,.. timelines, and often its own fee. IRD. Electoral roll. Car insurance. The GP. The dentist. The children’s school. ... There’s no central system that ripples outwards. No government portal, that I’m aware of, allows you to enter your new name and watch the bureaucracy update itself like a satisfying row of falling dominoes. Was it this hard when I got into the marriage? No way.."

Ah, #Sweden 🇸🇪, where they make #furniture almost as well as they dismantle #immigration policies 🛠️. The #Riksdag apparently decided permanent residence was too 'permanent'—because who needs stability when you can have bureaucratic musical chairs instead? 🎶

However, I should be transparent about the practical situation. Admission to the PhD program here at the #EPNEcuador involves significant #bureaucracy, particularly for international students, and, due to bureaucrat-mandated inflexible programs, the next opportunity to start would not be until April 2027. Due to the current administration’s crackdown on #research and #postgraduate programs, the #scholarship situation is also very uncertain. I will probably not stay here past end of the term!

Businesses should not be running government.
Government should not be running businesses.

I think we can all relate to the idea that those two things should be kept as far away from each other as possible, politically speaking.

Corruption in foss "foundations" and usage of "CoC"s as repression instruments? Who would have thought... :D

Jokes aside tho, the larger and more bureaucratic any project becomes the higher chance such shit can happen. That's why I support things to stay as small-scale and independent as possible.

Got an email just now saying they'd sent me my new licence, but they'll send another one. Okay.

Then five minutes later I got another one saying oops disregard that, they haven't sent me a new one, I need to go into an office and get a new photo taken because it's been more than five years since the last one!

Never mind the right hand, the LEFT hand doesn't know that it's doing! 🤦🏻‍♂️
