<p>According to the original reporter, the bug is still exploitable and that's why the issue on the bug tracker got hidden again.<p>> OH NO I JUST REALIZED THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY PROPERLY FIXED AND STILL WORKS<p>> even worse, edge no longer even makes the download menu pop up, so it's completely silent js rce that keeps running even after you close the browser !!<p>> all from just visiting a single website once !!<p>> issue set to private again, hopefully it'll get fixed properly this time :p</p>

<p>> In this second test, the word error rate was 43.75 percent, meaning participants identified a bit more than half of the recorded words correctly.<p>> [...]<p>> “We’re not at the point where it could be used in open-ended conversations. I think of this as a proof of concept,” [Sergey Stavisky, a neuroscientist at UC Davis and a senior author of the study] says.<p>The ability to produce sound without a use of a dictionary sounds awesome. It is an interesting result, a proof of concept as the author of the study says, but the title is editorialized at best and effectively clickbait at worst, because most readers will assume that "near instantaneous speech" means "clear intelligible speech and ability to communicate".</p>

<p>Atlassian Tweaks is a collection of userscripts and userstyles, developed by myself and my colleagues, which tweak some things and reduce friction in our Jira, Bitbucket, and Confluence workflows at our $DAYJOB. These scripts and styles were originally written for the self-hosted versions of the Atlassian services. However, most of scripts and styles support the Cloud versions as well.<p>Screenshots, descriptions, and links to install are in the README on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/rybak/atlassian-tweaks#atlassian-tweaks">https://github.com/rybak/atlassian-tweaks#atlassian-tweaks</a><p>A neat list of all scripts without screenshots is available on Greasy Fork: <a href="https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?language=all&set=585074&sort=name" rel="nofollow">https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?language=all&set=585074&so...</a><p>Trying out some of the scripts is tricky, partly because of Manifest V3 restrictions, but mostly because the URLs for these services are different from instance to instance, from company to company. The tricky part is setting up URL matching. For example, userscript "Jira copy summary" needs a user match rule "<a href="https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/\" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/\</a>*" to work on the Jira of OpenJDK project. Full instructions are at the bottom of the README. Scripts and styles which work on <a href="https://bitbucket.org" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org</a> can be tried out without additional configuration.<p>The main difficulties during development so far are async loading of pages and mangled CSS class names in the Cloud versions, which change regularly.</p>
