I thought Italy was the land of bureaucracy.
An overseas company wants a certificate for my company. I need to go to a specific office to get it and then scan it. I could get the same document online, but it wouldn't be signed. However, it’s a certificate where I declare... so I would just sign it digitally anyway. But no, they want the paper version, scanned, and then sent to them.
It doesn't make any sense.

@stefano running a business in the UK I used to get a lot of bigger and older UK companies requiring a "wet signature" on paperwork. The punchline being that they would then accept it as a PDF scan. So as a small act of subversion I used to put a signature on it in software, print it, "scan" it to PDF with my phone, and then email that. Totally daft.

@stefano sent to them ... by snail mail, because fax is so unreliable 🤷🏻

@stefano in France, you would have had to fill-in a document to be able to get an appointement to that specific office, before anything else. There’s probably an Olympic Bureaucratic Games to organize 🤣

I think that was the eighth of the Twelve Labours of Astérix. ;-)

Bureaucracy is awful, everywhere.
I have a turntable that maybe will get delivered tomorrow?
It was sitting in customs in Hawaii since January 8th, shipped from Japan on the 7th.
I submitted a 5106 form to the CBP.gov website on December 31st, 2025. They didn't even reply to me until January 14th.
All told, I think I submitted five different 5106 forms (with very little difference between any of them IMHO; certainly the thing a sane human should be able to care less about, but alas I was not interacting with sane humans, but insane bureaucrats I guess) before the turntable was "released" from customs?
Here's hoping it actually functions when I accept delivery and unbox the thing! ^_^
Terry Gilliam's Brazil with Robert De Niro as Archibald "Harry" Tuttle circumventing bureaucratic red tape is inspirational and I think beck@ had an image of that character on his website once upon a time for all the right reasons. ;)

@stefano Another great Bureaucracy case here in Germany!
I had to go to the municipal office to apply for a new ID card, filled out a form online in their computer with a digital signature (why not), only to leave again. I then had to pick up the ID card, and activating it requires a PIN, which I will receive by mail because it is more secure.
But hey, I was able to make the appointment at the office online on their website.

@stefano I have an image of my signature which I paste on pdfs before sending back, to avoid wasting paper

@raven I think the procedure is the same, here. I'll have to get there next week - I'll check 😆

Hollo 0.7.0 will introduce advanced search operators!
You'll be able to filter posts using operators like has:media, is:sensitive, language:en, from:username, date ranges with before: and after:, and combine them with OR and negation (-).
For example: cat has:media -is:sensitive
Full documentation: https://canary.docs.hollo.social/search/.

Ma, di sicuro, De André non avrebbe schifato la tua conoscenza.
Io ricordo i funerali di Berlinguer (io non ci andai, lavoravo, ma comunque non amo i funerali) e la grande partecipazione, ma si trattava di un leader, stimato da milioni di persone, che di sicuro non schifava il contatto con le persone comuni (indipendentemente dal loro abbigliamento).
Mi commuovo perfino ascoltando la canzone dei Modena City Ramblers...
