That makes sense. I probably should have gotten it from context.

Wat. All https does is encrypt the connection when downloading. If you’ve already downloaded the file to audit it, then it’s in your drive, no need to use curl to download it again and then pipe it to sh. Just click the thing.

If you’ve downloaded and audited the script, there’s no reason to pipe it from curl to sh, just run it. No https necessary.

So that’s why they changed the shape. I saw no valid reason so I just assumed they were trying to evade taxes in some way. I’ll admit I have no idea how much anything I buy at a convenience store costs.
