Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Anyone else usually have DNS ad blocking but suddenly the Metservice app is full of ads?

    Just normal Google ones. Did they change something or is something broken on my end?

    Edit: I seemed to have solved it by disabling Private DNS on my phone. Not sure why it was working until now.

      Random… I’ve always felt like the metservice is just another get scenario where the app is cancer and the website (again, with adnauseum of multiple layers of ad blocking) is perfectly adequate

        Oh the metservice app is almost unusable without blocking the ads. Even with the ads blocked it’s full of sponsorship.

        I want to like the NIWA app, but I can never tell what the actual weather is going to be.

        Maybe I should just use the website.
