[Bug] SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

[lprobsth]

Description

GUI hangs on first launch on linux.

To reproduce
Install via installer. Open via desktop entry or via terminal.
Enter user name.

The GUI hangs.

Terminal shows:

Expected behaviour
Loads users current playing title.

Versions & technical info

Manjaro linux using the most recent installer downloaded from releases.

The debug console doesn't give much information - but I suppose that:

• the request goes to last.fm
• the problem is related to the system CA bundle (most likely the cause for ssl certificate validation fail?!)

[lprobsth]

Running discord.fm from sources behaves normal.

So the problem is the bundled/packaged version in releases.
