Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.

Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it's just pacman being out of date.

    Had this specific issue a couple days ago, but, to make it worse, the up-to-date package was not yet available. So discord would straight up not start at all.

    So, to add another tip: telling discord to shut up about updates is the only reasonable response to that bs in my opinion. I'll update when I want to, thank you very much. Just add "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true in the settings file at ~/.config/discord/settings.json to put this software in its place.
