Could you expand on what the definition of dereliction is? I’d be interested in what you’d like to change

My two cents is that “units” is clearer. When I saw the title originally I thought it was about empty car parking spaces and then was confused by the rest of the headline

I've always felt the best way to get people subscribe to @dublininquirer.com, is just to publish good articles and wait and hope. But I'm told, that people are busy and might have other things on their minds than us, so I'd better make a pitch, better ask. So here goes. 1/

Oh that’s very possible. I didn’t realise they had rebranded bikes

In the sequel to this story, I spotted a Movi bike on the street tonight. From what I can tell the closest service area is either Germany or Spain
A white bike, with orange-rimmed tyres and an orange “Movi” logo, leaning against a white wall on a footpath. Photo taken at night.

I tried it with MAI-Image-1 (using Bing image creator). It's worse than Nana Banana Pro

Had the same thought the other day. It's maybe 100 vehicles blocking the majority of the cities public transport system

Footpaths that are uneven and fall towards the road might be my biggest transportation gripe. It's such a minor way that pedestrians are treated as sub-class citizens. Pushing a pram or even walking is annoying when you're constantly being pulled towards traffic.

Beavers build planned dams in protected landscape area, while local officials still seeking permits
A beaver colony has gained overnight fame by building several dams in the Brdy protected landscape area, creating a natural wetland exactly where it was needed.

I've started using FreshRSS alongside NetNewsWire for all my feeds I've been enjoying immensely. I've been actually reading all the newsletters I'm subscribed to instead of just ignoring them.

There are plans to expand capacity on the Luas from June, especially the Red Line. “For the Red Line, there will be an increase in scheduled kilometres on Saturdays of about 18% and on Sundays of about 17%,” a TII spokesperson said. dublininquirer.com/2...

Makes perfect sense. I have at least one Ghost site (platformer.news) in my feed and it works as expected. Including hiding the content from certain posts as I’m not a subscriber. So hopefully it works as expected for free

It would be great to have the official feed updated so the image "sizes" aren't included. But no pressure as now that I know what's wrong I can figure out a solution for myself

Eoin @eoinobrien.ie · 14/01/2025
Figured it out I think. The "sizes" on the "<img>" tag is not valid and it's leading to readers dropping the content. Using rssviewer.app with the official feed it doesn't show the content, but with a feed that has the "sizes" removed (gist.github.com/eoinobrien/e...) it shows the content correctly

Oh you're 100% right, for some reason my reader is not showing the content, just the title and the description. I'll investigate a bit more and will follow up if I figure it out.

@samtranum.bsky.social Any possibility of Dublin Inquirer getting an RSS feed with the full article over just a snippet? Would love to be able to read the paper in my normal RSS Reader updates.

I don't like Michael Lowry, but he's is running, and he has 5 councillers on his "Team" shouldn't he have been on the stage instead?

I know I'm days late but why on earth was Joan Collins on the #RTEUpfront debate this week. Ignoring the fact that Right to Change only have 1 TD and 1 Counciller in the country, they are only have one candidate running (Joan) in this election full stop

Was in the pub at the weekend talking to a lady about how her dead, 97yo aunt couldn’t cycle and that the road changes in Dundrum were making it impossible to go anywhere. Hard to convince people some change is good when their only argument is “no changes to roads without good alternatives to cars”
