Flatpak permissions precedence (lemmy.ml)

If I globally disable filesystem access to home (i.e. filesystems=!home;), and an app declared that it needs home/some-dir, do I need to explicitly prevent access or do my global settings take precedence?

home/some-dir takes precedence.

More specific rules overrule general rules.

So I need to go look at what filesystem each app is requesting and manually disable that on top of disabling home access entirely? What's the point of being able to do filesystem=!home in the global config?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
