I specifically do this with apps like Discord, because it seemed like every time I launched the app, there was a 200mb+ update.

I can just use the web version instead and skip all that, along with the memory usage (for the most part).



I find it so annoying that certain apps update every single time I open them. Why can’t they build something more stable?


Because, CI[1] and "Move fast and break things"
