Am I understanding this right that the system (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, in my case) Pango doesn't like how old the Harfbuzz version is in the AppImage?

I thought that one of the (main) benefits of using AppImage, in the first place, is to not have to rely on (versions of) libraries in whatever GNU/Linux distribution it runs on. So might it have made sense to have a compatible Pango + Harfbuzz combination bundled into the AppImage, in the first place?

I was hoping, with this/a standalone app, that I could avoid giving GitHub (Microsoft) keys to all my private GitHub via it's GraphQL explorer (which doesn't seem to support using it's own personal access tokens).

Interesting. I was looking at the AppImage documentation, and it looks like harfbuzz is one of the libraries they actually suggest to NOT bundle in the image.
