Every once in a while I am reminded of how fucked it is that we're almost forcibly moving all social and bureaucratic processes 'online', without ever recognizing that all those things that "nobody wants to host" and "nobody wants to be responsible for" are now just outright impossible, even though they were widespread and perfectly fine things to do 'offline' before.

(This may sound like it's referencing a specific thing but it's not - there are *so many* things that this applies to)

If you want a practical example, here's one: a lot of edge cases are simply not supported in "digitalized" versions of government processes, because it would be prohibitively expensive to develop support for those few edge cases; things that could previously be handled on a case-by-case basis by a government employee just fine. And now they just can't, because the 'offline' infrastructure is no longer there.

@joepie91 oh maar dit wordt opgelost, ik heb gehoord dat het nieuwe kabinet gaat inzetten op innovatie bij digitalisering! :^)
