It's even worse than it appears..

Possibly the last moment when the Dems really kicked ass.#
BTW, I hear that Safari now defaults to using HTTPS. Not sure exactly what that means. But if they ever actually stop showing scripting.com, which will always be plain old HTTP, I'll probably ship an Electron product that browses the web, and doesn't care if it's HTTP or whatever new fad Google is promoting. I'm going to hold down the fort for the original web. I can't change scripting.com to HTTPS, it would break all the images and probably a lot of other stuff. #
I'll keep my Tesla, thank you#
  • I saw a pundit suggest people harass people who drive Teslas.#
  • When I bought mine, it cost $70K, a large sum of money that I will not throw away just so a pundit can make a point. #
  • Here's my rebuttal. I'd like to see you get on without buying Exxon products. We all agree they suck, but evil companies have a way of building dependence, that's how the stay in business while openly doing despicable things.#
  • When I put down $70K for what is, btw, a fantastic car, no one knew how evil Elon Musk was going to turn out to be, how little he would care what you and I think.#
  • And I don't believe anyone can live a pure life and extract all evil from it, and still participate in civilization. #
  • PS: I wrote this initially as a post on Bluesky.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
