cianmm.bsky.social @cianmm.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What's surprising to me is that there is a real appetite locally for more modern solutions. People don't actually like the bin bag situation but they have been trying to get DCC to consider things like communal bins for about a year. DCC just don't want to hear about it. 010
cianmm.bsky.social @cianmm.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think it’s literally what it looks like - DCC wanting to do something and just either not caring or not comprehending that it is not workable for the people it impacts. A classic DCC situation. 110
cianmm.bsky.social @cianmm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026RTE just reminded me of the existence of the AI Minister Niamh Smyth, who is also Minister of State at the Dept of Enterprise. Anyway yea she exists and says things sometimes about AI. 020
cianmm.bsky.social @cianmm.bsky.social · 25/09/2026So yea that’s my current thesis. The Irish government, the actual people on the voting cards, are seeing that people are actually looking into their bullshit and are reacting by spewing so fucking much of it 24/7 that people get burned out and just give up engaging with our political system. 000

cianmm.bsky.social @cianmm.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m starting to think that the members of the Irish Government are actively trying to disenfranchise people who look into their claims by consistently saying the most ridiculous and clearly false shit. 34% of jobs are not underpinned by data centres for fuck’s sake. 100
Reposted by @cianmm.bsky.socialSimon McGarr @tupped.bsky.social · 18/09/2026At EU level, the Irish Government proposing any tech policy immediately renders that policy suspect, if not automatically unacceptable.
