The only company that pitched (and bothered) me on CHRISTMAS DAY this year was Arctic Wolf. Good job, fam. Stellar performance.

OpenAI decided that christmas day was the best day of the year to send out an updated privacy policy.

Also the day we discovered that they lied about having deleted the account on request months ago.

@maswan @hacks4pancakes CloudFlare also updated their privacy policy on Christmas Day!

@danielroberts @maswan @hacks4pancakes do they genuinely think that by sending these out on *Christmas Day* no one will notice? It sets alarm bells ringing instantly: “what are they trying to bury?”

I expect a large number of workplace users to not notice when they get back to the office in early january and just skim or delete the holiday spams.

Another option that it is unvirtue signalling, declaring themselves to be up to no good, and by having people accept this makes it more likely that they'll accept future evils.

@maswan @witewulf @hacks4pancakes I agree. They're definitely banking on the fact that lots of people are out of office, very shady practice.
