- extraduder_ire 2y agoOne of the advantages of running programs like this in the browser is that you download a fresh (with caching) version every time you reload the page.
- MortyWaves 2y agoDesktop apps are in the best place to silently download and install updates. This can be with a schedule via OS, or some background service that is always running even if the main application isn't. This has worked very well for Chrome for a very long time, the only time it doesn't is for people like me that restart the computer only every couple of weeks. Discord could have a similar model but choose not to for some reason.

- Mashimo 2y agoIf you only open it every few days / weeks it will download the latest version, as they push regularly. If you open it every day and still get updates there might be something wrong.
- yellowapple 2y agoOf course there's something wrong: you're using Discord :)
