I'm confused. I've just been given my first ever Mastodon warning, and had my post about the weird "null" strings in the Coles app deleted because it "may violate one or more community guidelines"

I really don't understand how, and it would be helpful to be given an actual clear reason so that I don't inadvertently offend or upset someone again in the future.

If you're looking for a specific old page on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology site, and it's redirecting to their new site, stick "reg." at the front of the URL.

e.g. Sydney metro forecasts are at https://reg.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/sydney.shtml; Melbourne radar is at https://reg.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml#skip

This one! My others are either far too long, or tiny little ones, or the right size but the magnets aren't quite strong enough.
But this one is really nice.

Just had to dislodge an Uber from my driveway. The driver was insisted on staying put until Joanne got in the car. He showed me his app thingy, including Joanne's booking. I have no idea who the hell Joanne is. It probably isn't the duck.

THE BUREAU !!!!!!!

Please stop putting Peter's phone number on your accounts

Meet the Brisbane man getting thousands of other people's texts.

@liamvhogan

Maybe there's some arrangement like Canberra's port being a few hundred km away, at Jervis Bay ?

@mattrobertson

Oh, are they back to calling themselves "The Bureau" again? 🤮

I thought they got humiliated out of proceeding with that?

@psychopoesie

I'm having the strongest deja vu right now!
About a swimming pool full of coffee with icebergs of icecream floating about. Has this been a Mastodon discussion before??? 🤯
