A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It runs /e/OS, which is very much a privacy focussed OS.

/e/OS is anything but privacy focused. It's based on Lineage OS that has been configured to send all your data to the /e/Foundation, who runs their own NextCloud servers. Instead of trusting Google, you're just trusting /e/. I wouldn't use their stuff.

you can also just point it to your nextcloud server instead.

Yes, but why bother? I also don't trust /e/ to build their own apps because they haven't in the past. They just downloaded them from elsewhere.
