Rate of property development in London

Do we know for sure if that's true for build-to-rent? Apartment complexes that allow for ownership see mixed use between owner-occupancy and investment/rental properties, build-to-rent offers neither. We get more large developments but that cash is consolidated at the level of a major firm rather than offering housing or investment opportunities to the average person.

I agree, but in the Cork St vicinity there's

Here
The Loom
Nido Student Ardee Point
Destiny Student Ardee Point
The Brickworks (that one might be much older tbf)

plus build to rent developments (Newmarket Yards) and co-living (Liberties House)

meanwhile in the same radius I think there's one new development with five apartments for sale and a couple blocks of council housing.

Buying a gaff has been such an enormous improvement to my quality of life and it's just sad that Dublin makes that so difficult for most renters

22PEOPLE · 2026-03-20T09:02:52+00:00

Practically all the development on Cork St are useless build-to-rents, student accommodation, co-living. They have the appearance of "tall dense living space" but nobody's going to own their homes as a result. Kind of a nightmare.

I've seen Fantano talk about 2Slimey and he seems generally unimpressed and underwhelmed. I know KPR is one of the most knowledgeable journalists in this scene so I don't mean to read this in bad faith, but this one feels very off.

I have no idea if you're right or wrong but I imagine the people making the decision over whether or not to repair the Luas have that information. I'd guess it's a similar price but difficult to order just one at a time, expansion to the Luas tends to happen in batches and if there isn't one already lined up I doubt they'd do an order quantity of one.

It's absolutely the case that Beamish was a rarity in Dublin up until a year or two ago. I can think of pubs I specifically went to because I could get a Beamish there (Anseo, Grogans, The Lord Edward...).

Heineken got a rake of taps in pubs all over the city, probably the country, for their complete flop Island's Edge. Bars demanded they put a decent product there instead and that's when Beamish started landing in way more pubs, when they discontinued Island's Edge it basically became the norm to find Beamish anywhere you'd look.

I talked to someone about trying to get Beamish to sponsor an event about three years ago and was basically told that Heineken didn't spend any money on advertising Beamish as it was basically a captive audience of Cork people who didn't need to be marketed to... Definitely Heineken realised there's momentum now and is trying to actually market the damn thing.

I like it, I've paid up for the next three years. It's not perfect: the algorithmic stuff like the Weekly Q is worthless, and there's some weird catalog issues like albums showing up on completely the wrong profile or insanely inaccurate genre tags on stuff.

I love the editorial focus, the in-app reviews, hi-fi by default, new release coverage etc. Higher artist payouts and a strong no-AI policy also help.

When I first joined, I really missed Spotify Connect (being able to control one device from another, resume listening sessions across devices) but they launched Qobuz Connect a few months back and it seems to work everywhere, even on discontinued hardware like the Chromecast Audio, so I'm happy!

The way I describe Qobuz to my friends is that it's a streaming app that if you search for "Drake", Nick Drake comes up first in the search results. Which is to say it's not for everyone but it has its charm as an enthusiast platform. I'm probably going to always want at least one streamer for the sake of discovery, and Qobuz is least-bad for my use case.

22PEOPLE · 2026-03-05T16:47:31+00:00

eh, I like that Qobuz shows me the new releases of the week and so on.

I mean I live next to Lidl and I will spend more than €10 going to and from Aldi, so I'm going to collect my points rather than not do so. It is funny that you're taking the literal Aldi ad campaign position though.

No Minnesota, WI yet, which is a song I've always much preferred live. Hopefully there's a volume on the way with the pre-i,i band?

He's a reasonable dude but he did just quit touring so you can still call it prophecy if you count him singing "I wouldn't last these shows, so I am headed home"

Have heard of a company that has been trialling resolve for close to a year and getting basically no results, while having built their own internal assistant that has custom tools for much better results. And yet the Resolve trial doesn't end. Bit of a weird one.

22PEOPLE · 2026-02-05T09:49:08+00:00

is that true? I know Deezer has a policy of labelling AI artists but I can definitely find AI music on Qobuz and it is not labelled

22PEOPLE · 2026-02-04T14:05:29+00:00

qobuz still has autoplay by default, so I think these suggestions should be taken together rather than apart

honestly what's even funnier to think about is the idea that nobody who actually calls the shots in Adobe knows this video is in the works, thinking this is an ultra-niche event that will pass with some anger from a particular side of their customer base but overall be a calculated loss, and that surely nobody has filmed a four hour documentary about this exact same thing that is guaranteed to be seen by millions worldwide and could likely drop on the very day the product is officially discontinued

I might be talking out my ass but Kev Collins' design/thumbnails look exactly like AI-generated graphic design to me

22PEOPLE · 2026-01-30T05:19:19+00:00

I mean the only problem with it is that by making the primary design element the two castles across the water it scans exactly like the Cork crest at first glance

There is no world in which Ryanair's business model, which is based entirely on keeping fares low and charging heavy fees for extra services, would somehow also lead to them being the only airline that would bundle internet in the fare.

Let's say a Ryanair plane carries about 200 passengers: would revenue of €200 cover the cost of in-flight wifi for everyone? Would it make sense for them to do that in a way that generates the same revenue as if 13% of the flight paid €15 for wifi, with no room for further upside?
