The flatpak version of discord is able to fetch for updates when launching the app without needing to system update. And for some reason it is specifically on a system update. Updating only discord does not update the version even after modifying the build_info.json. and I could disable updates, but that shouldn't be necessary unless discord is pushing updates that are actively making the experience worse.

Build_info.json

I have only ever had this issue with discord on arch. Whenever discord has an update, it will not fetch the update, but it tells me that an update can be downloaded.

This is the situation with discord through aur. https://karx.xyz/blog/discord/

I do not know the air branch

Also, I am trying to convince my friends to switch to element instead of discord, but they have been stubborn.

I partially disagree. I have found that some flatpaks are better than otherwise for updating the app. When I use the air branch of discord on arch, discord does not update automatically and I need to complete a system upgrade and modify a Jason file. The flatpak version updates automatically with no problems.

The best feature they've kept out is the subscription you have to pay to cancel.

Let's not get crazy. The Apple fanboys would rather chew razorblades before giving up their macs.

The guillotines require a subscription to guillotine+ to be operated. You will of course be forced to watch a quick 1 minute ad before the blade drops and there will be a fee to cancel your guillotine+ subscription. Once your payment is processed and you sign your soul over to the guillotine company through the terms and conditions, then the guillotines will come out.

Can you link it? I can't seem to find a page for it.

Use Firefox or vivaldi and download the adgaurd app from f-droid

Proton mail is pretty good. And they have a trustworthy VPN service.

Update: I officially rescind my statement. Do not use Proton.
