limiting shutdown/reboot permissions


I have a fedora workstation pac connected to the living room tv, running some server duties in the house and playing games over streaming and on the tv it is connected to.

I want to forbid reboot/shutdown from the UI. I want only sudo in the terminal to be able to do that.

I'm no certain of the best way to do that. I cant go just hiding the options on a per UI basis as I'll be playing whack-a-mole until I'm dead. Instead, Id like things like plasma and steam to understand they aren't permitted to make that request, but if they try anyway, the OS just ignores them.

Shell has lost its legal battle for oil exploration on South Africa’s Wild Coast. That’s a win for marine life, people power and renewable energy.

I absolutely love that this video about why War Thunder has caused so many classified data leaks is actually sponsored by War Thunder (and also the incredibly tongue-in-cheek sponsor segment itself, close to what I've joked about what youtubers should do with backhandedly making fun of sponsors lol). First good use of youtube sponsorships XD youtube.com/watch?v=R7LMApkXJD…

@dragonarchitect Yeah, or sometimes more niche channels get sponsored by actual companies too (rather than the dragnet basically-scam crap). And I don't fault people for taking sponsors since they offer a lot of money (seriously, even a few hundred thousand sub channels), I do just really appreciate when a sponsor segment feels special like my OP rather than being something you begrudgingly accept while skipping it lol

Spent way too long playing with perspective grids in #ClipStudioPaint to start drawing Siti/Theo's apartment so I can start doing "fanart" of my own gay romance webnovel...I'm still not 100% happy with the perspective angle, but I'm having fun 😄

"Trump is a friend to the USA's fiercest enemy, russia, and an enemy to the USA's strongest friend, Canada.

That makes him a traitor. But American political culture is unable to call out Trump's treason or do anything about it."
