Error when trying to run autodoist

[julroger2013]

When attempting to initialize Autodoist (e.g. CMD line entry of: python autodoist.py -a -l ) I get the following error text:

2023-03-23 12:17:05 ERROR    Error while checking for updates (Connection error): HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.github.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /repos/Hoffelhas/autodoist/releases (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:997)')))

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
