Really sad to see it go. It powers KDE Plasma's geolocation for its Night Colors feature among other FOSS projects.

  Those features requiring geolocation to give tune 2min away from the system time is ridiculous and overkill

    On a laptop, it avoids forgetting to update it when travelling.

      you don't update your clock? also, it will set the wrong light when using a vpn. even your extremely obscure use case cames sort trying to justify this nonsense.

        First of all I agree that it's no big deal. But it's also a nice convenience feature; I'm pretty happy that my computer works for me automatically. Then to reply to your points. I don't use a VPN, but I regularly travel between south-western Europe and north-eastern Europe. The timezone is CET everywhere, but the actual solar time differs by about 2 hours. It may be a niche case for you, but can't I enjoy that it just works (for now)? (Reasonable people may also disagree that traveling with your laptop with night colors is an "extremely obscure use case". It's a builtin feature on KDE. The night time also depends on the latitude which is not something captured by the timezone)
