It's would also be a funny acknowledgement that the different groups aren't always 100% clear cut what they include.
EDIT: I guess ≈ is technically also a very very small community of tildes. Just the two of them.

See also 2 chapter 7 § speaking of the special case of "combined work and residence permits" (my translation). Specifically, someone staying less than 3 months may under some circumstances need only a work permit and a visa, no residence permit.

Travelling from Sweden with a temporary residence permit
If you have a temporary residence permit, you may travel in and out of the country during the time your permit is valid, but you must have a valid passport to leave Sweden, and your residence permit card to return.
So for temporary residence permits, which are only at most 2 years long before you need to renew them, you do not need to be in Sweden at all.
If you have a permanent residence permit, then yes, you can live abroad for up to two years before you need to return to live in Sweden in order to keep your permit.
It's a permit for permanent residence, not a permanent permit for residence.

The language also makes it clear, for instance:
Arbetstillstånd får ges till en utlänning som har tidsbegränsat uppehållstillstånd,
My translation:
Work permits may be granted to foreigners who have temporary residency permits

If it in two different countries were 2 days compared to 2 decades, one would be extremely restrictive and the other barely worth thinking about. In a discussion on how restrictions affect immigrants, I think it's worth not losing that nuance.

It should be OK to call 1177 and ask for advice on how to proceed, but I've not done it myself and I don't know if your immigration status somehow affects this.

I'm not sure how long you have to live in Sweden again before you can live abroad again and keep the permit.

Looking into the specifics you mention here I may very well be wrong, but as far as I can tell this is no longer the case for just work permits in Sweden?
Used to be work permits were only allowed for a maximum of 4 years, after which you could / had to apply for permanent residence. For that application, too much time spent abroad during that time, generally 4 months, was grounds to reject the permanent residency.
Changes to the law came into effect in 2023 and there's no longer a restriction on how long one may renew work permits, and for work permits there are no minimum residency requirements.
What is tangentially required is that you are employed and you can't be absent from work for too long except for some acceptable reasons. Possibly this also connects to the new laws about minimum wages for approved permits, but I couldn't find straight-forward information on that, or on whether it includes or excludes any absences.
Are any other interruptions besides sickness and parental leave acceptable?
It is possible to have certain interruptions in your employment that are not due to parental leave or sick leave. Some examples include a leave of absence from your work (e.g. a holiday), or travel to your country of origin. In your application, indicate whether you have been absent from your work and why.
Am I still able to get an extended work permit even if I cannot get a permanent residence permit?
If you cannot or do not want to get a permanent residence permit after four years, you may receive a work permit for another two years if the requirements for an extended permit are met.
I have had a work permit for four years but have only been in Sweden and working for the last two years. Can I get a new work permit?
Yes, you can get a new work permit if the conditions for an extended work permit are met.

Comment on Denmark has dropped the Three Crowns, a symbol of the Kalmar Union since the 14th century, from its own coat of arms in ~humanities.history
Malle I agree that the title change is good. The use of the Three Crowns as a Swedish symbol may predate the Kalmar Union, but what they represented on the coat of arms is more pertinent in general.I agree that the title change is good.

Denmark has dropped the Three Crowns, a national symbol of Sweden since the 14th century, from its own coat of arms.
In Denmark, the Three Crowns symbolises the union between Sweden, Denmark and Norway, a union that was dissolved in 1523 — and Denmark's decision to continue using the symbol afterwards was once a point of conflict.
Taken as a whole this states
-
Denmark is removing the Three Crowns from their coat of arms.
-
Sweden is using and has used the Three Crowns as their national symbol since the 14th century.
-
In Denmark, and thus on the Danish coat of arms, the Three Crowns symbolized the Kalmar Union.
Looking at the information provided on the royal house of Denmark, they corroborate all of these points, except how long Sweden has used the Three Crowns.
Please be advised that, on December 20, 2024, HM The King has enacted a new royal coat of arms and introduced corresponding royal flags.
The three crowns are, in fact, the arms of Sweden, but here they represent the union of the three Nordic Kingdoms (the Kalmar Union), which Danish kings have referred to in this way since 1546 and by authority of a peace treaty with Sweden since 1613.
