from 30 minutes ago on slack refuses to start on my 20.04 box. Last thing i did before it stopped working was updating firefox to 102.0 but i'm not confident if this is related to it.

I downloaded the recent slack 4.27.154 deb package from their website and installed it through through apt install, however it still refuses to start.

Here's the console output:

> slack

I also noticed a strange error when trying to get the help information:

❯ slack --help

Anyone has any idea what the problem is? I'm not finding anything on this stuff in the web.
