joostruisStill have this question open. Why does <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/COSMIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#COSMIC</a> require <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> <a href="https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay/issues/8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay/issues/8</a>This needs to be optional IMHO.

Jakob Thoböll - R.I.P. NatenomDo you have a recommendation for a <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> tool to navigate a heavy <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/truck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truck</a> (no "normal" car!) via <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/gps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gps</a> offline? I tried <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/pureMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pureMaps</a> but miss the adjustment for car size parameters. GPS can be provided via <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> or <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/gpsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gpsd</a> sufficiently. I just need map display and route planning - ideally an option which is aware of obstacles like low bridges and weight limits on particular roads and show alerts. In case it matters: I will be on german roads.

tpikonenGood news everyone! Geoclue 2.7.2 is out. Now for the bad news: Although alternatives exist, the shutdown of Mozilla Location Services (<a href="https://floss.social/tags/MLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MLS</a>) basically crippled <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Geoclue</a> for devices without a GPS. Help is on the way though, code for a GeoIP location source is being developed, and it should make it easy to add different providers.

OMG! Ubuntu!Mozilla Drops Axe on its Privacy-Friendly Location ServiceMozilla has announced it is retiring its Mozilla Location Service (MLS), which provides accurate and privacy-respecting geolocation data. Developers and third-party projects currently use MLS to provide location data, such as FreeDesktop location framework GeoClue, leveraged by apps like GNOME’s Maps and Weather, have only a few months left to use it. We knew cuts were coming from the new CEO but the axe has fallen ruthlessly quick on this! New API access keys will not be granted going forward (and pending requests deleted), Mozilla say. In late March, POST data submissions will return 403 responses.
