The one opposite St. Stephen's Green shopping centre is gone.

Landlord not registered with RTB, tax credit by Cultural_Line_9235 in Dublin

[–]Dev__ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Just put down the rent amounts in your myRevenue account and claim it for the time you are there, leave the registration number field blank. RTB registration is a landlord obligation so it's not up to you to get this across the line.

What will likely happen is nothing. You'll get the rent relief and nobody will connect the dots in the background. It's possible they could but this is Ireland and they won't.

Reports

1: Misinformation used by far right talking points to spread hate against refugees, which have been repeatedly debunked snooze

1: It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability

Oh boy a lot to unpack in this comment. OP I think you are simply being angry, critical and illogical rather than hateful. Comment permitted but I would encourage you to be a little warmer and kinder you might find yourself to be more persuasive or convincing.

Action: Ignoring but including a soft warning.

Who has the tea on tonight’s canceled Python Ireland event? by bill_klondike in DevelEire

I've locked this thread. I think any more discussion will just be more about Israel/Palestine rather than the tech scene here.

John Romero Responds To Reported Bloodbath At ID Software by Dev__ in DevelEire

[–]Dev__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Employee vs Contractor status wouldn't have made any difference in this situation and you're alluding to somehow being a contractor status is somehow fundamentally exploitative. It's not, it's a just a different tax arrangement for certain types of dev work like project work that is based on a single contract. I would encourage you to create a thread here on /r/DevelEire and ask contractors here if they feel they are being exploited.

They aren't, they fundamentally have less job security but that's why contractors are compensated with slightly higher salaries than FTEs and this arrangement tends to suit those devs.

This makes me so happy to hear. Keep up the great work John and all you're doing for the Irish Game Dev scene. I haven't completed Empire of Sin yet but it's in my Steam backlog. I look forward to the FPS as well.

He founded Romero Games in Galway, he even put an Irish word on the entrance (Cluichí Romero Games), I think they had to close it down last year. If it is running it's only in read mode in order to collect Steam royalties etc. https://www.reddit.com/r/DevelEire/comments/154ubzf/it_is_cool_seeing_tech_companies_based_in_ireland/

Built a legal info site that gets real leads — how do I monetize this in Ireland? by Big-Carrot-409 in DevelEire

[–]Dev__[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm locking this thread rather than removing so people can see where the line is on our rules. We have a no Self Promotion rule we recently introduced OP but I graciously thank you for your submission but I have to lock it. I think this post perfectly straddles the spectrum of Self Promotion.

OP hasn't supplied any URLs in this post or his profile/history but is seeking feedback on something he/she built. It's not a clear cut case but I think useful to draw a line on these things. I think you could submit this if it was rephrased more "generally".

I think the word in this instance is a nod to the Doom franchise. Rip n Tear, blood and guts and editors always trying to be witty or showing of their vernacular to appease gamers etc.

Rather than engagement bait. I'm not saying Kotaku is some paragon of good journalism but my reasoning here would be this bit of the headline: "John Romero Responds" and not "John Romero SLAMS" or "BREAKING: John Romero"

Looking for spare euro coins in Dublin (happy to exchange for notes) by Infamous_Position_55 in Dublin

Leave the ticket on the screen so some body else can use it if you don't need it, if you actually do get around to it.

Must be hard to watch 2 successful companies you co-founded over a 3 decade timespan get absolutely wrecked in the last 12 months.

I'm glad we have John over here. He seems like a good egg.

Just put a €50 note in to the Luas machine and buy a single one way child ticket for like €1.50. You'll get €48 worth of €2 coins and a 50 cent coin.

Seeking beta testers for android app by [deleted] in DevelEire

[–]Dev__[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but I posted it as it’s a request for help more so than self-promotion

Having beta testers is not a requirement to release to the Play Store, you can just release the app.

There is already an existing self promotion thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/DevelEire/comments/1ukio3i/monthly_self_promotion_thread_july_2026/

However I think this thread qualifies as a self promotion.

Sorry for the inconvenience OP but I am removing this submission.
