I focused on Aral because he is more prevalent in my perception.
Laura is giving more talks, it seems.
Hopefully I can meet her at a Smashing event one day.
@feditips @Ombra @aral @laura
@RyunoKi @humanetech @feditips @aral @laura Smashing Magazine is it?
Love there stuff!
Funnily enough they just moved from the city where I currently live (Cork), and are now only 2 hours away (in Kilkenny judging by their about page: https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology) 
Small world.
@laura @RyunoKi @aral @feditips @humanetech sorry that Ireland’s shitty rental laws that favour home owners screwed you over.
You can get kicked out of your home rental here extremely easily.
Even just for “renovations”, or a family member wants to live there - are common ones.
Rentals aren’t really considered homes here unfortunately 
@Ombra Thanks. And yes, it wasn’t fun but at least we were “lucky” enough to afford a nice place even if it was in a different county (and “lucky” enough that we could move). I can only imagine what people with fewer resources and/or kids in school, etc., do. It’s an unconscionable system.
(I checked a few weeks ago and there was 1 rental property available in Kilkenny. In a city of, ~22,000 people. At the Ana time, there were over a dozen AirBnBs.)
@aral Families with young children are the ones who get most screwed over.
It’s why many people now live with their parents even with a child until they can afford a mortgage.
The housing crisis has really highlighted the poor rental rights in Ireland.
I’m hoping Eoin Ó Broin from Sinn Fein will make some radical change as the next housing minister if SF get in of course.
