Nixpkgs: Ferdi half working

[pinage404]

Describe the bug
Ferdi crashes when started elsewhere than a nix-shell --pure

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use the official Ferdi AppImage https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/releases/download/v5.5.0/Ferdi-5.5.0.AppImage
2. configure services
3. close it

i'm not sure, if this first part does anything for this issue

1. nix-shell --packages ferdi --command ferdi crashes after displaying this message

(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false".  It will change to be "true" in Electron 9.  For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397

Expected behavior
Ferdi should be usable without nix-shell's option --pure

Additional context
I used to use Ferdi from there official AppImage (because it was not available for Nix when i looked for it)

With the --pure option, it works

nix-shell --pure --packages ferdi --command ferdi

Just out of curiosity, I'm running it on my profile with the home-manager and I also have some bugs, for example, notification badges don't work, I can't disable notifications by service, yet I don't have "official" bugs like missing icons for example. When I have a bit of time I will try to track it down.

I can't say I've experienced either of these issues, but I'm running Ferdi 5.6.0-beta.2 locally, which might be making a difference:

self: super: 
{
  ferdi = super.ferdi.overrideAttrs (
    old: rec {
      version = "5.6.0-beta.2";
      name = "${old.pname}-${version}";
      src = super.fetchurl {
        url = "https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/releases/download/${version}/ferdi_${version}_amd64.deb";
        sha256 = "0shd7p4v3dkkxzzdyi1zsh60330pxb7m0897lcr2367hr0a0j69s";
      };
    }
  );
}

I'd upgrade the package in nixpkgs to this version as I've previously been told that nixpkgs should stick to stable releases.

I've updated my config with your snippet, it fixed my issue
