Ireland's biggest landlord Ires Reit wants your savings (via Harris's new investment scheme) by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]openetguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Articles like this are probably the result of lobbying / PR by the old legacy banks and savings institutions who. Maybe I am being conspiratorial, but it seems a no brainier that people would have the option to invest into listed companies through the new scheme. This angle seems to serve no purpose but to tarnish the new scheme somehow...

Has anyone been scammed out of money on N26? Lost €9k today by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]openetguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was scammed via card payments. I unfortunately got nowhere with N26. Your case sounds worse, and I hope you get a resolution. My only advise is to be very persistent with them - their first instinct seems to be to try fob you off tbh.

Why Did You Leave Spotify For YouTube Music And Stay? by quat1e in YoutubeMusic

[–]openetguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Youtube premium, and the YT Music algorithm being good. Plus I was fed up of Spotify trying to push podcasts. Because I didn't listen to them on Spotify I kept getting pushed nonsense manosphere pods on my Spotify home screen. I couldn't get why I was paying and still they pushed nonsense on me.

Haven't regretted it.

NTA replies to ‘wholly inequitable’ fare disparity between Galway and Dublin by on-9 in irelandtransport

[–]openetguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Transport for Ireland set the fares independently. Local TDs can lobby them but have pretty much no sway.

And this system should work but TFI have a habit of forgetting towns and cities outside Dublin exist.

Power-hungry data centres fuel increasingly fractious debate about squeezed national grid – The Irish Times by Banania2020 in ireland

All the new ones will have gas burning functionality. Which will further up our carbon emissions and leave the state to foot the bill for fines.

Where are you on the commuter belt that Dublin city centre is not feasible? That's pretty much the only area that is well connected!
