I need to stick AI in something and sell it…

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

I haven't been following Atlassian recently and was wondering if you were just tossing that out there... But no, that is literally their plan:

This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement.

“Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that knowledge workers will love to use every day,” he added.

the enshittified company bought the enshittified company to form a megazord of enshittification

In what ways has Atlassian enshittified?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

It started shitty, so I'm not sure enshittification is really the issue with it.

The UX is appallingly bad, their interpretation of agile development is in no way agile, integrations are inept, functionality is shit, and their whole paradigm seems to be based on user disempowerment and top-down corporate control.

For get about investment funded proprietary software and choose FOSS instead.

Have you tried it? How has your experience been?

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

Yes I use it daily, honestly I’m surprised people still use a browser that’s not based of FF what with ublock origin being limited by chrome and the obvious proprietary-investment-to-rug-pull Silicon-Valley-economics of the browser company
