For the SECOND time, Discord update failed and hosed entire installation: DIscord unlaunchable on Linux Mint via Flatpak.

folder structure after failed launch

This time I didn't even click the green arrow. I simply closed Discord and re-launched it from the start menu. There was a flicker, which immediately crashed, and subsequent attempts to launch Discord don't even cause the flicker.

I waited two days for a flatpak update to Discord, this time, and there hasn't been one. And again, I did not actually click the green arrow. I simply quit Discord and then launched it again. This is clearly a critical and on-going unfixed problem that needs immediate attention from the discord dev team, because as things stand now, every update to Discord causes a requirement for a user on Linux Mint to do a complete purge and re-install of the app even if you aren't trying to update.

I would also like to know if there is a way to unhose my own installation other than deleting the entire com.discordapp.Discord folder and reinstalling from scratch again.

It has been a long time since I've replaced my modem (both old and new are privately owned), and I haven't been able to find a straight answer about this.

Googling tells me to either connect a device to the new modem and use the activate thing, or it tells me to plug the new modem in and then use the cox app (I assume on a phone?)

What I had been intending to do, is plug in the new modem, NOT connect any devices to the modem yet, then log in to cox's website on my phone using mobile internet, go to the Equipment page that shows my old modem, then click the Add Equipment link and... do whatever the link takes me. I don't know. I haven't wanted to click the link yet in case it started some process prematurely.

Is using the cox website on a phone in this manner a recommended method of hooking up a new modem, equivalent to using the cox app, or is it nonstandard in some way such that it might not work correctly?
