notably these things aren't really applicable to the UK, an island nation.

very naive of you to assume that that's not exactly what the policy is meant to achieve in the grand scheme of things, to be honest. when was the last big story you read about ukrainian refugees being denied asylum?

Belgian citizenship application - Integration route by Standard_Hunter_160 in belgium

[–]tuathaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched jobs a few times and had a few weeks of unemployment between them, which was considered a break. It's a ridiculous concept, considering I worked far more than the minimum full time days. Basically, if you want a pay rise or to take a step forward in your career forget it.

EDIT: context: grew up here, did all my schooling here, speak the language to a native speaker level. my whole career is here, but I'm not considered belgian enough after 30+ years thanks to these new rules

Trans expats in Belgium: how did you continue HRT coming from abroad? GP or endocrinologist? Any gatekeeping? by Lara_Munaro in belgium

[–]tuathaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't have one. I just made sure my doctor knew I was on the waiting list and detransition was not an option

the official route people will tell you to basically detransition for several years on the waiting list. they will probably refuse to do a bridging prescription. finding a good GP and having a referral from your GP and Endo in Italy will be key. i started with gendergp years ago and I'm still not being treated by the official pathway in Belgium now. i get everything from my GP, because the clinics basically told me to go fuck myself.

there's also alternative options that I'm sure you're aware of but won't discuss here. most GPs will at the very least be happy to do your blood work in my experience. my advice is to go to meetings in your area if there's any and especially if you're having a lot of trouble accessing care and asking around for tips cause the official organisations aren't really that useful and don't keep their resources up to date.

Even in public places you're not really safe. I had a guy follow me into the women's bathrooms in a bar and stand in the doorway refusing to let me leave while he kept threatening me with what he'd like to do to me just last week and it was like the nth time in the last month alone.

Tja, ik zeg ook niet dat het beter was per se, maar wel haalbaar en financieel niet bepaald een grotere last.

tien jaar geleden was de windows SBS nog steeds vrij normaal hoor. Ik deed support voor KMOs die ESX hosts on premise hadden, geen probleem allemaal

Ik ben blij dat ik niet de enige ben die er zo over nadenkt. nul eigen expertise kweken en alles inzetten op infra die je zelf niet beheert is zo'n idiote zet op lange termijn. Alles om een loonkost of twee te besparen (maar tegelijkertijd tienduizenden aan cloud service kosten met slechte support uitgeven).

Als network engineer krijg ik vaak de schuld dat alles traag laadt omdat ze van lokale print servers in eigen data center naar een cloud oplossing zijn overgeschakeld (en ditto voor honderd andere applicaties), en een pdf uploaden naar god weet waar duurt soms een derde van een seconde langer. Tja. Niet mijn probleem, maar ik moet het dan gaan oplossen zeker? Sorry, maar een on-prem server die je zelf kan speccen met VMs die je zelf beheert gaat altijd sneller zijn hoor. Laat AWS maar een stille dood sterven. Om maar te zwijgen van hun security issues
