Automate Electron updates to prevent outdated version

[tegridyfarmer]

Problem Statement

Currently Electron is 3 days outdated, which makes it more viabale to security issues.

❔ Possible Solution

Check https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/security#16-use-a-current-version-of-electron to see if updating to 34.0 can cause issues. If not update the program.

To prevent having an outdated Electron version in the future, the process should be automated/semi-automated. So you get notified of new updates. It is possible to get notified of new electron releases using this GitHub atom-feed (which works in most RSS-feeder programs): https://github.com/electron/electron/releases.atom. Otherwise using something like GitHub actions could be useful. Or to just checking the latest electron version before updating.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
