Issue
I have Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04 running on an LTSP workstation, which does not use normal network manager configuration. After using several manual location formats with no success, I checked the log and found the repeated message "No network connection, skipping this cycle." Is there a way to override the network connection test?

Steps to reproduce
PXE boot a workstation from an LTSP server running Ubuntu Cinnamon, install and configure weather applet.

Expected behaviour
Display weather.

Hmm, maybe there is something I could check if NetworkMonitor is used, I need to look into that. Otherwise I could add a setting to ignore network connectivity to the Help section, but I try to avoid adding settings to work around problems.

If you find this part in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/weather@mockturtl/3.8/weather-applet.js:

get Online() {
    return NetworkMonitor.get_default().connectivity != NetworkConnectivity.LOCAL;
}

and change it to

get Online() {
    return true;
}

then restart Cinnamon does the applet start working?

Yes, the applet is working perfectly with that change.
