I *deliberately* want Fedora showing up and growing in this manner. If Chrome OS can advertise itself uniquely so it's broken out and people take note enough to test for it, I think it's equally worth it for Fedora to show up. I know it has positively influenced things in Fedora users' favor before in less than obvious ways, so I'd prefer to keep it. In any case, Alberto Ruiz reached out to Cloudflare via Twitter, and it is now being looked into on their part. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
