That shit has so incompetent devs that they're updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.
An entire update used to be something worthy, now it's all worthless.
That's all handled by Electron, which doesn't support the auto updater on Linux.
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/auto-updater https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1138
Though I don't know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it's time for a bootstrap update.
Ok but why so many bootstrap update when the most basic shit like "screen sharing with audio" is broken?
There's a secret json option to disable bootstrap updates. The flatpak turns this on.
