Bug ID: 448727
Summary: Nightcolor queries location online by default even if
it's disabled causing privacy issues
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.23.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_nightcolor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: pos...@posteo.eu
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Night color is deactivated (by default). Also by default 'Sunrise at current
location' is pre-set.
This results in the following:
Whenever opening the KCM will first display the location 0°/0° and then query
the location by contacting Mozilla / Amazon AWS server [1] for a fraction of a
second and change it to X°/Y°.
I would propose the following changes here:
1) Change the default value of "Sunrise at current custom location" and let the
custom location be defined be the user's set local time zone
2) Cache the last known position in case of "Sunrise at current location", in
case the computer has no internet connection
3) If possible, in sake of privacy, let the user choose a custom provider for
the location
