The dragon communities

!dragons@pawb.social
!dragonswithjobs@pawb.social
!imaginarydragons@leminal.space
!wingsoffire@lemmy.world

I'm active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.

The human brain is truly a strange machine!

I used to have a synced framerate and AR capability, where I could project my thoughtscreen into the air, or onto a wall. I know what you may be asking, but no, other people could not see it.

Then I lost it over time, seems like one of the OS updates didn't support my hardware.

Bend wrist downward to charge, bend upward slowly to crack (this all happened by accident)

I just cracked my wrist now, but I haven't been able to do it before!

I've got full 4D video, but the framerate in the world-gen system doesn't match with my occipital processors, so it's really choppy and it takes a lot of BPU cycles.

(BPU = Brain Processing Unit)

I can do it too. Also my neck, and my knees, and my ankles, and my toes.

VSCodium can't save file if it needs root privileges (Linux Flatpak) in c/vscode@programming.dev
[–] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Running as root is a forceful workaround, not the solution to my problem. I want to open this lock, not break it.

I don't want to run as root because...

  • It's bad for security. Think of running sudoedit vs sudo nano or sudo vim. If you run the editor as root directly, you can access the shell as root. This is a feature, not a bug! But if you run sudoedit, it stays at low privilege level until it actually saves the file.
  • The "Retry as Sudo" feature exists. If it's there, why not use it instead of circumventing it?
  • At this point, editing the file is irrelevant. This is not an XY problem. I want to stop getting the second error.

The "Retry as Sudo" dialog is supposed to appear, and when I click on the button, I am supposed to get a password prompt. That's what happens in the Apt version; that's what happens in the Snap version; and in the NixPKG version, they had the same problem, but they fixed it.

How do I fix it in my flatpak version?

VSCodium can't save file if it needs root privileges (Linux Flatpak) (sh.itjust.works)
 

If I open a text file that needs root privileges to modify, I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Insufficient permissions. Select 'Retry as Sudo' to retry as superuser.

That's fine, that's expected.

But when I click on "Retry as Sudo", I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo.

This happens though pkexec is installed on my machine, at /usr/bin/pkexec; and I granted VSCodium access to it through Flatseal. How do I fix this?

Can't select multiple tabs (sh.itjust.works)
 

When I click on a tab while holding Ctrl or Shift, it just switches me into that tab. On other browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi) it selects the tab instead. If I want to move tabs from one window into another, I have to move them one. at. a. time.

How do I fix this? I am on version 1.69.168 on Linux from the Flatpak.
