Turkish developers, by the looks of it? Perhaps folks aren't quite sure what makes for the cozy game phenomenon and are doing a bunch of different prototypes/mockups to see what gets wishlists/attention and thus is worth developing further

That is so, though the GPU will most likely survive loading a little texture and freeing it up as soon as you've copied its pixels into a buffer. If image dimensions were in thousands of pixels, perhaps having a native extension decode pixels straight into a buffer would win you some milliseconds.
Don't have to do it that way in semi-recent GameMaker versions, you can get RGBA data from a surface into a buffer and then peek around it as you please, like so:
There's a handful of localization systems for GameMaker now, you get to pick what you like (or what might work with tools that you already use) github.com/bytecauldron...

Flat (no sections/groups) systems like pictured work well for little games and less well once you have hundreds of strings.

The latest stable has a Linux installer even though it is not linked on the releases page, like so

You could, but you'll have to find/make an editor for this binary format they're using (perhaps [...string lengths][...strings without delimiters]) and re-apply your patch after each update, which is higher-effort than a CSS snippet
Unlike many other elements of potential interest, these menu items do have IDs assigned to them, so you can just
div#user-context-ban {
&:before {
content: "Behead";
}
> div[class^="label"] {
display: none;
}
}

If that's still a thing, I've had similar in some tool on Ubuntu (not FA, apparently?) and that turned out to be system simulating a click before each tablet pen stroke.

Linux version of FA doesn't seem to have the tablet dialog like Windows does¹, but it does still have that mystery checkbox²

I drew a font that's supposed to resemble something you'd see in a 90s cartoon/anime depicting a computer monitor.

Found this really useful tool for converting spritesheets into fonts: yellowafterlife.itch.io/pixelfont

Fun bit of trivia: although the support portal only shows you your tickets from the last year (?), they are stored indefinitely and will be included in your personal data package.
I'm assuming that it's tickets from some time range because I got this email too and the one affected ticket is me asking for clarification on textbox changes 3 months ago (surely enough, I did not get any actual clarification)
