How do i Disable efficiency mode for Discord

The fact that an entire laundry-list of steps, increasing ever-so-much in complexity, just to turn off a simple feature that people do not want, doesn't even work and just gets ignored by the feature entirely, is living, breathing proof that the feature might as well be considered malware, as it doesn't even want to listen to the user and not mess with the settings made specifically to disable it.

Efficiency Mode should not exist. It causes many programs to function improperly, like Discord, which many users use for productivity.

This was not helpful at all, it just reenables itself. Is there a way to permanently disable it on single program?
