I've tried other bulk rename programs, but I prefer Thunar. The interface is fairly straightforward, with a list of files to be renamed in the left column, and a preview of what they will be renamed to in the right column. [2/4]

I could do all of this manually, but I'm happy with the configuration that Sympl creates, and it's much quicker and easier.

It works well for me. It shows me graphs of battery life and steps over time, and I've used it to update the firmware on my phone.

Unlike Mastodon, it doesn't have a built-in web client, but I use Statuzer on the web, and Tusky on Android. GoToSocial is still in beta, but it works well for us.
