Its haven, and sure whatever. Obviously a very well made counter agrument

Turn off notification details. That isnt signal it is Android/Google.

I dont have a smart doorbell because I cant decide which to get. I am screwed by indecision if this is the lowest barrier for entry.

But when people say this they always refer to these massive tech companies like Apple, Amazon, Meta, Twitter, Google, Microsoft etc. all of which employed loads here and have invested loads here.

And they are brining in revenue to the country, which is what we want from our government. To incentivise commerce and increase tax receipts.

Ireland are moving closer and closer to renewables with huge sites coming online anually and more getting permission to start. These sites were going to be put somewhere, ireland has a strong tech centre, an eucated work force, an amazingly stable grid and plenty of space to house these.

Why would Ireland push these out, only for them to be built somewhere else with the same downsides and no upsides. Sure on paper Ireland’s usage goes up but as a planet, where it is housed makes no difference only how the power is produced.

Just how this is structured shows how angry you are, there is a lot of information and these a complex issues but they are not all linked to the corporate taxation policy.

People are wildly angry about these small things, the corporstions that HQ in ireland are active in te US and likely have less pay and conditions than they do in Ireland. The US should be fighting for better working conditions not giving out about corporate taxation, every country does their best to attract investment.

Well this is completely wrong, there are in fact loads of jobs outside dublin…where most of the population lives.

There is a housing crisis yes, more should be done.

Oh no, how dare we incentivise business. So dramatic too.

I just asked it “when was the last time manchester united and manchester city were both out of the top four in the premier league” it said whatever season “20xx season was the last time neither team finished in the top four, city finished 12th and united finished 1st.”

it isnt useful for its primary purpose.

Its not surprising. Youtube now has standing to sue other models for scrapping their information while also making it exclusive to third party consent - there is no toggle visible for google using to model ai.

This is them making it explicit that only they can use youtube, especially given how it has shown to be a great asset in putting them ahead with the text to video.

I despise seeing an interesting topic or attention grabbing question only for it to be a 20-30 minute shit heap.

Subscribable block lists… I’m making an account.

I joined Mastodon and it sucked, I didnt know where I was or what the significance of it was. Not a fan, lemmy is similar but seems to have less compartmentalisation relative to youe server.

Get better content.

Yeah fuck google but lets not let the “leaders of the free world Ltd.” Off the hook. It is this way because of piss poor people governing to a piss poor standard and a people frothing at the kouth about the toilets.

What is the significance of the singing?

Upsticks and leave. Whereever you are you can probaly go and do wha you do somewhere else. I would pick a whole other country, you could pick ones that align with your interests like philosophy and cooking - places where there is history or active communities in those spaces.

As for making friends, join clubs. Start running, playing board games, cold water swimmimg, etc.

If you are looking for purpose and you don’t mecessarily care about money you could make a huge impact in charitable works. If you don’t like human contact you could volunteer with animals.

You are at a crossroads in that you feel jilted and stuck but in reality you have nothing keeping you in one place. If you save 70% of your earnings for multiple years you are in a position to just stop working while you figure it out. You are in a position to take a pay cut and find something you enjoy.

I know a few people who were in similar spots and one became a data analyst for a charity - less hours and he can see changes being made by his hand - and the other travels to meet the elderly to record and archive their memories for posterity.

You could do absolutely anything.

Less steps specifically, if it gives you all sources with one search which you ten confirm. Instead of finding individually.
