> Discord and VSCode keep occasionally prompting me to manually download and install .deb files. I'd really prefer if they just updated automatically
I installed VSCode from the .deb package on the VSCode website and it automatically added the update repository so that it auto updates via apt.
"Installing the .deb package will automatically install the apt repository and signing key to enable auto-updating using the system's package manager"

oh cool! I do see the repository in the list. Come to think of it I haven't noticed the popup recently. It used to be basically be a thing in the corner of vscode with a link to the download page. I would usually do the update manually when i saw it, cause I thought it couldn't update on its own.

Discord doesn't, though.
