Clicking on some links in our Work Avoidance Hall of Fame may produce a scary warning, *this connection is not private,* blah blah, and warn against proceeding. This is because your web browser or some browser plug-in is noticing an ancient http address, rather than a newer, more secure https.
The problem here is, of course, that the people who created the work avoidance web sites have avoided the work of maintaining them. Similarly, although I do now and then check a link or two and delete those that don’t measure up, I avoid the work of maintaining the list as a whole.
Your browser, on discovering all this, will (wisely) advise you to turn around and go back the way you came. You might as well take that advice, since you’ve probably already avoided enough work for today.
Leave the extreme sloth to the pros.
