So they finally went and broke the Google Weather app so the widget won't work because it wants location permissions even when the app is not in use.

Homie don't play that shit. You don't need my location except when I am actively needing to use the app; go fuck yourself Google.

Is there anything Lemmy recommends?

Set your permissions to “only when app is in use” at the OS level. Done

    You can totally do that, but it breaks the workflow of the pixel weather app, and pretty much any other proprietary weather app. They will bug you about allowing location access all the time until you die.
