I don’t like it, it’s another exercise in taking a functional website and ‘modernising’ it by making it look like a mobile app (i.e. the make it look attractive to kindergarten kids school of design).

For my own use cases it’s made it more annoying to get to the 7 day Canberra forecast, made the local radar harder to see, and I’m not noticing a link to the written ACT region forecast which I will want to look at in winter.

    Are you guys all boomers or something? The old website was absolutely terrible and well overdue for an upgrade. It desperately needed a version that scaled well and was accessible for mobile users, since that is how we access the internet in 2025 (inb4 irrelevant anecdote about yourself). The only bad thing about the new one is that they’re still insisting on this cringe “The Bureau” branding.

      We? Who is we? You don’t speak for everyone and it seems to be an over generalisation.

      got some facts for that ( I’m a gen xer )

      It’s stupid logical fallacies and talk like that that lead people to vote for arseholes.

      But anyway tell me about that internet thing you young whippersnapper? ;) I’ve only been using it since 1982

      I’m not sure if I should be furious or laughing my ass off.

      Well played.
