D1SC0CX

Simple Discord client update script for Debian

[Disclaimer]

This project exists only because some dumb fucks in Discord,
are too dumb, or too fucked to implement solid update feature.
So there you go. This project is pretty much finished as is.

# Get script, make executable and add to /bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Szmelc-INC/D1SC0CX/refs/heads/main/discocx
sudo chmod +x discocx
sudo mv discocx /bin/discocx
