What happened?

The new update dialog is kind of intrusive, and forcibly takes the focus, which can be very very VERY annoying. Maybe just a button appearing to update like on discord would be a better and more discrete choice.

This is the default dialogue from our updater, we never replaced it so far

Related issue: https://github.com/stoatchat/for-desktop/issues/88
It will happen at least one more time before it is fixed (due to the nature of having to update the desktop app to fix the desktop app).

https://github.com/stoatchat/for-desktop/pull/98 should fix this as well - just adding here as a reference.

I will close this as it is a duplicate then (It also seems I opened the issue in the wrong repo, sorry!)
