> Long story short, former staff were upset about a logo but the logos were there since the start. I wanted to share that. https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/pull/489 "since the start."

We changed the url from https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/raw/main/static/files/on... to one that doesn't do a file download.

I did some troubleshooting to see why the original link did not behave as expected. The original link: https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/raw/main/static/files/on-freenode.pdf redirects to here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freenode/web-7.0/main/static/files/on-freenode.pdf and this command: curl -v https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freenode/web-7.0/main/static/files/on-freenode.pdf 2>&1 | less reveals: content-type: application/octet-stream The application/octet-stream is for "Any kind of binary data," suggesting the correct browser behavior would be to download. To inform the browser that the document is a viewable PDF, a web server normally sends an application/pdf MIME type. [1] The "raw" in the original link is why GitHub thinks the file should be treated as a generic binary. While this may all seem much ado
