Permission Denied on RPC.connect() trying to update Rich Presence

[erenfro]

On Ubuntu 24.04 running Discord in a flatpak, using a symlink as documented here: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/wiki/Rich-Precense-(discord-rpc) and running Steam (unsandboxed), I'm getting this error when steam-presence is trying to update Rich Presence:
