Isso quer dizer que para ter a previsão do tempo no meu conky vou ter que pagar, no mínimo, US$20 por mês a partir de 15 de novembro.

O que vcs acham?

Eu também recebi.

Será que não existe algum outro serviço por aí, com a mesma função?

Aconteceu!

É só comigo, ou o conkyforecast parou de funcionar?

Aqui aparece a mensagem:



Parece que desativaram as licenças antigas.

Iniciei o Debian aqui e depois que recebi este e-mail, é que fui verificar. Nem tinha notado.
Realmente, estou sem ele também. A parte referente a ele no Conky está vazia.

Já havia acontecido antes e retornou depois de alguns dias.
Tomara que retorne.
