   oh and specifically it's not just new york that it picks as the default location but Farmingdale new york, which according to wikipedia makes this a very reasonable default for exactly 8,466 people

     I googled it, found a forum thread that describes sorta the same problem, but it seems to come down to it needing some location service I don't want, and there might be a setting for it in the gnome settings, and i don't want to have gnome settings installed and any ways my lunch break is done and I need to get back to work so that's as much attention as I can afford to give gnome Clocks's eccentric location divination.

     I needed a basic timer on Linux and so in installed gnome "clocks" via the program "software". This works fine for that purpose, but when you open it it greets you with the time in your "current location". It gives me new york for some reason and I do not live in new york, and my time zone is set as America/Chicago so I don't know how it came to that conclusion. Naturally there is no setting exposed to change this. What.
