Package: gnome-initial-setup
Version: 46.3-1
Severity: normal
Hello maintainers of gnome-initial-setup,
On the tab page 'Privacy' the Location Services are turned on per
default. The hyperlink to the privacy policy points to a dead/empty link
(https://location.services.mozilla.com/privacy), because Mozilla retired
its public service per July 2024 [1].
The hyperlink is embedded in an #ifdef statement [2], so it can be
easily disabled.
But then I wonder what location service is actually used.
With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
