Really love how GNOME Settings links to this excellent page on Mozilla’s privacy policy for location data.

Ah, this is because Mozilla Location Services is dead (I guess it wasn’t AI enough). And now GNOME are considering Google – because, why not? Nothing wrong with Google, amirite?

@aral@mastodon.ar.al You seem to be a bit harsh here. What could Mozilla have done to not be sued by what seems to be a patent troll? And what alternative location service should Gnome rather move to? I hate Google, but AFAIK there are no real alternative. Have I missed any? Personally I think they should probably rather not have a location service at all rather than use Google, but I can understand that some might think it's necessary to support it.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al I don't see any URL (47.0.1).

@lebout2canap@mastodon.tedomum.net I’m on 46.4 – so they likely removed that.
Is Google implemented in 47?

@aral@mastodon.ar.al 🤷 (I never use this kind of service)
