Additional context Not sure is if this is FreeCAD software related or AppImage software related.

Instead I would remove emojis from the release page, this code is currently hosted at https://github.com/looooo/freecad.appimage_updater which probably should be moved to an org repo too

The point of that emoji is to get the attention of users who are text blind when quickly scanning the page.
