Electron 27 is EOL

[higherorderfunctor]

Describe the bug Electron 27 went EOL in April: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines.

The desktop app is pinned on Electron 27: https://github.com/standardnotes/app/blob/main/packages/desktop/package.json#L46

My distro, nixos-unstable, reports Electron 27 as insecure and will not allow me to install without permitting the insecure package explicitly.

To Reproduce This probably doesn't mean much unless using nix, but:

1. Patch and install from the deb release. I use an overlay to fix the declaration in the nixpkgs repository since it doesn't pin electron to version 27 and the app won't run otherwise: https://github.com/higherorderfunctor/nixos-config/blob/dotfiles/overlays/standardnotes-overlay.nix
2. Get the error in the screenshot section trying to install.

Expected behavior Not to get a warning about an EOL dependency.

       You can install it anyway by allowing this package, using the
       following methods:

       a) To temporarily allow all insecure packages, you can use an environment
          variable for a single invocation of the nix tools:

            $ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1

          Note: When using `nix shell`, `nix build`, `nix develop`, etc with a flake,
                then pass `--impure` in order to allow use of environment variables.

       b) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘electron’ to
          `nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
          like so:

            {
              nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
                "electron"
              ];
            }

       c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
          ‘electron’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
          ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:

            {
              permittedInsecurePackages = [
                "electron"
              ];
            }

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Standard Notes desktop version is 3.194.9.

Additional context Permitting the insecure package explicitly can be done like so to allow it to be installed:

      import nixpkgs {
        inherit system;
        overlays = import ./overlays {inherit inputs lib;};
        config = {
          allowUnfree = true;
          permittedInsecurePackages = [
            "electron-27.3.11" # standard notes
          ];
        };
      });
