When will @aerlingushelp.bsky.social website accept that Irish surnames like O'Neill and O'Connor include an apostrophe? It's in their name on their passports too. And why should that be a surprise for what was once Ireland’s national airline?

Memo to coders, devops teams, app developers and the like: Many many people have apostrophes and/or hyphens in their surnames. When your validation process precludes their use, you have failed to properly debug your code.

There's a more general issue with people educated in humanities feeling they're smart enough to report on science or tech; and if they're not smart enough to just put out a company press release as a news story, as if it had been through a rigorous editorial process. #My2č̣

A lot of interesting thoughts on the very obvious gap between Leinster and the other Irish provinces right now and how that gap might be closed. At this point, it can only be closed by allowing NIQ signings in the exact areas where they are needed, as it has always been.
