@nixCraft I already called them hostile towards their customers, I guess this is not new.

@nixCraft and amazing how many enterprises are just sucking it up.
@NineStonesClose @nixCraft Getting out of the atlassian vendor lock-in is hard. E.g. all the workflows in jira would need to be replicated with another software that sucks even more UX wise, or doesn’t have all the features one needs, which also degrades UX. And then you’d still need to somehow export everything from confluence, and jira to import into the new tool(s). I wish migrating to something else wasn’t a royal, months spanning pain in the ass.

@nixCraft any info when and if this is planned for EU customers who have to conform to GDPA? Especially if they were promised by Atlassian to have an EU-hosted, GDPA-compliant service?

And #Atlassian refused to provide updates so it could be migrated to a more up-to-date system?

"Cannot opt out" AI software for customers, creates yet another business to ditch.
Atlassian Has Lost 75% From Its Peak. Is TEAM Stock Finally a Buy?
Atlassian has lost 75% from its 2021 peak and trades where it did in 2018, despite generating $5.2 billion in annual revenue growing at around 20% a year. The bear case is that AI makes Jira obsolete. The bull case is that AI makes Jira indispensable. With Q3 earnings due April 30, the answer is about to get clearer.

@kkarhan @nixCraft nope, no further support. Maybe it wasn't only the server it was running on, but also the software itself, too.
No matter, no self-hosting licenses were obtainable any more. And it took our CTO weeks of persistent enquiries to find out whether they would provide a GDPA (DSGVO) compliant service.
Only once we got that did we decide to renew. And even then, we looked at alternatives, but none satisfied (then).
Since then - #enshittification , basically.

@Npars01 @NineStonesClose @nixCraft All I’m saying is, that it takes *a lot* of effort. Most businesses either don’t care to invest the time, and resources to free themselves from vendor lock-in, or don’t have the capital to do so. If they did care, we’d see a lot more companies ditching Windows 11, as well.

@kkarhan @nixCraft we do that locally, I think, in some way. But I'm a developer, not an ops guy, so I'm not so deep in the details.
Yes, it's crap. And since then, I've not been happy with their products. Laggy, buttons shifting randomly from unannounced update to unannounced update, annoying CLS issues...
Personally, I'd love to go to an alternative, but it was hard enough to get our sales dept on board with any kind of wiki and ticket system as it was...
