Any recommendations for alternatives for just Confluence and JIRA? I've been looking at switching to Notion and Linear, but just haven't had the time to complete evaluation.

Worth reminding everyone of previous discussion when Atlassian opted-in all customers by default for their data to be used for model training. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47833247 This goes live on August 17. If yo

It seems that Snyk isn't picking this up on our docker images. They have a vulnerability published for the nginx binary itself. https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-UNMANAGED-NGINX-16679754 But they've not rele

That's on Google apps, that's not on Chrome. That's not Chrome sending your browsing data or content from inside webpages to Google.

This seems somewhat specious - it's also quite possible that they just altered the wording to make it less verbose. Does anyone have access to the link "Learn more about on-device AI"? If Chrome starts sending data from the b

"Your available data contribution settings will be available no later than May 19, 2026." So let me guess, they're hoping that we forget about this by then, so that they can scoop up our data? I can't think any other rea

Unfortunately that one has a subheading of "From August 17, the outfit will collect customer metadata by default unless you pay for the top tier" It's not just metadata, it's all "in-app data"

I really wish I could find a better source to link to for this. By default, all free and paid customers are being opted-in to their data being used for AI training. All your Confluence pages, Jira tickets, etc. https://support.at

Which works out at $100 USD / year. You might think that's trivial, but when you start provisioning multiple environments over multiple projects it starts to add up. It's a shame that Google haven't managed to come up wi

This is terrifying. Github was the one provider I did not expect to make such an action. We're now playing whack-a-mole with vendors to try and ensure that our company IP doesn't end up being used to train a model.

That's a mixpanel breach if the unauthorised access was mixpanel staff accounts. If someone phishes your gmail account, there is no gmail breach.
17.
by kevcampb 10mo ago
Possibly because OpenAI have just made a post stating there has been a breach https://openai.com/index/mixpanel-incident/ and implicating Mixpanel as the cause

by kevcampb 10mo ago
The title here is misleading. The original article does not state breach and at no point have Mixpanel used that term.

If you read the proposal, this is for providing automated defences against social engineering attacks - eg: phishing. It's incredibly benign. That's not how it's presented on Elon's twitter post, certainly. The replies a

The original title was too long for submission, so some cuts were needed. I tried to preserve the meaning as best I could The SCMP has updated their front-page link to read "China disciplines Alibaba Cloud for handling of Log4j bug&quo
