well, sounds like you don't have the right permissions to edit that file.
just add sudo at the beginning of the one-liner (on a ctrl + a gets you there).
Should have said this in my original post, but sudo doesn't seem to help. I have admin permissions on this computer, though it's running Mojave and I'm not sure if that added any complications. I also dragged Terminal into "Full Disk Access" in Security & Privacy preferences just to be sure. Weird.

Weird.well, admin permissions and sudo aren't really the same. some files have an extra layer of "protection".
what does
ls -la /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js
say?Here's what I get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3806 Oct 22 09:03 /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js
(I edited the file manually this morning to get it working)
yeah so the file belongs to the
root
user.. not you, meaning you have to usesudo
orchown
Just use
