Good idea, renamed the 42k .png to .txt, but only the Attachment error 
message changed, the CORS message was the same and it still wouldn't upload:

Uncaught AttachmentUploadError: App assets attachment upload failed: 
storage request.
     o attachment-upload.ts:63
Caused by: error { isTrusted: true, lengthComputable: false, loaded: 0, 
total: 0, eventPhase: 0, bubbles: false, cancelable: false, returnValue: 
true, defaultPrevented: false, composed: false }
attachment-upload.ts:63:35

I'll probably have to start without any extensions and disable the 
strict privacy, even though I've tried adding all the github.com 
exceptions to settings. I just really don't like lowering the privacy 
when talking to github. I guess its safer than most sites, but it is 
still quite a data grubber.

The only thing that is puzzling is that uploads to github worked for 
years with strict privacy enabled, but then they just quit. I didn't 
change privacy settings on my end, so something seems odd.

Thanks for the suggestion!
