Fedora needs to make a decision, otherwise geolocation would remain broken.

Another discussion (in Japanese) at https://mls.js2hgw.com/wiki/?Mozilla+Location+Service+%E3%81%AE%E5%BE%8C%E7%B6%99%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%82%B9%E6%A4%9C%E8%A8%8E It's from 楽天モバイル 電測 ("Rakuten Mobile Densoku"), which seems to be an unofficial project to map out Rakuten Mobile (a Japanese MNO) cell towers.

(In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #2) > journal is being filled up with: > `geoclue[2128]: Failed to query location: Query location SOUP error: Not > Found` > every 5 minutes. > > Patch seems to be already merged upstream: > https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/177 I just wanted to add that the upstream patch does not fix the underlying issue, it only removes the Mozilla geolocation lookups. So in practice this leaves the system in a state with no working geolocation. This is the current situation, geolocation is non-functional at the moment.
