Royce WilliamsThe latest Pixel Watch update seems to have taken away the ability to show the weather for a fixed location. As far as I can tell, the only way I can see what the temperature is in my town ... is to turn on location.
Matt Palmer@tychotithonus I've noticed the weather app on my phone getting more and more insistent about wanting me to turn on location, too.

The Pixel Weather app on my Pixel smartphone has also gotten a lot more unreliable within the last year for reasons I don't fully understand.
Richard "mtfnpy" Harman (he/him)@DaveMWilburn @tychotithonus from how it acts now, it sure feels like they took a widget that worked on its own in isolation and now made it a web page.
fuzzyfuzzyfungus@tychotithonus Whenever some adtech or data broker vermin says "permissioned data" they mean that this, or one of its variants, worked.
Wearing the target down and eventually presenting a Faustian bargain that could be trivially avoided at a technical level is, after all, totally how consent works.
