Hi there,
This is a request for clarification of how Plasma works in regards to the Night
Light and Day/Night Cycle features. I opened this against Day/Night Cycle since
that is more pertinent, but it also applies to Night Light and other features
that use GeoClue.
Even with `geoclue.service` (systemd service) disabled+masked, and even with
`/etc/xdg/autostart/geoclue-demo-agent.desktop`, Plasma still seems able to
present those two pages without any problems at all, which is interesting.
What does Plasma do to achieve that when the GeoClue service is masked?
I'd propose to make a way so both pages don't work if `geoclue.service` is
masked, because.
1. The user has masked it due to security or privacy concerns (e.g. hardening),
or;
2. Functionality may be impacted internally if the service is unavailable.
I also ask the same question ("What does Plasma do [...]") for the Plasmoids in
the "Background Services" app of "Global Theme Auto-Switcher" and
"Location-based System Time Zone". What are their relations to
`geoclue.service`, and how can they work without it?
Thanks.
