As a 58 year old, JK Rowling is, by her own definition, very unlikely to be a woman any longer.

On Linux, Firefox stores site-data in a folder named the same
The tilde (~) means that path is located in the per-user home directory. The default behaviour is for user home directories to be only accessible by that specific user.
The encryption you're referring to is likely specific to Firefox Sync (i.e. syncing your FF settings, history, etc. across devices). Sync is end-to-end encrypted. But I'm not surprised that it's unencrypted on disk.

Those cats were fast as lightening back in 1974. People have slowed down since then.

What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?
That chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
When I discovered the truth, I learned an important lesson about betrayal.

A rare polar bear showed up on the shores of Iceland. Police shot it
We can all agree that it's a tragedy that this animal died.
The other consideration is that polar bears are amongst the most relentless and vicious predators around. A polar bear around an inhabited area is very much a serious safety threat. Iceland doesn't have any animal predators and therefore also wouldn't have the trained people or equipment necessary to deal with neutralizing and relocating this bear.
I would have liked to have seen the animal safely moved. But I suspect there's more context to this story that we don't have beyond the headline.

Any tips for men attempting to hide nipple piercings?
You're not wrong, that is a thing. Source: me, a man with nipple piercings.
It's more obvious with solid colours and less obvious with a pattern.
The thicker or stiffer the fabric, the less the fabric will contour.
Seems like something you just have to own.

Good recommendations for documentaries that can be watched on YouTube?
The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6Fzbgs_Lg
Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.
Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.

WestJet flight diverts to Winnipeg after passenger tries to open door
Do you end up on a no-fly list from doing something like this?
Because it was a flight from Richmond to Toronto. The person likely lives in one of those two places and was released in Winnipeg. Are they now faced with the only option of bus/train/car to get home?
Then, similarly, have to do that again to get back to Winnipeg for their court date?
I hope they can't fly, because that would be some sweet consequences.

I was about to say that 787s have electronically dimming windows, not the "slider blinds", so it couldn't possibly be a 787.
But also what you said.

Question for those knowledgeable about alternative web protocols (gopher, gemini, etc): Would it be possible to create a tool that translates http sites to those formats, on demand?
The simple answer is yes.
It's possible to encode or tunnel anything over any protocol.
The next question is why isn't it done more?
For the above reasons it's actually more common to see other protocols run on top of http. This is especially common to prevent blocking and censorship by making the traffic look like normal http traffic when it may actually be private messaging apps, file transfers, VPN, etc.
