There are multiple ways depending on the version of electron the app was built against

Electron applications are notorious and prolific, and resolutions are very specific to versions and details of the program’s build process.

Steam can be a big old flashy boi

Avoiding spyware doesn’t mean you’re opposed to labor-saving technology

Neither does being a Luddite

They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages.
