Permission denied to a file in ~/.cache directory

When I set an output file in the home directory, the following curl command works. But when I use ~/.cache/mydir, it returns "Permission error".

$ ls -al ~/.cache/tera
drwxrwxr-x  2 shinichi shinichi 4096 Jul 28 09:04 .
drwx------ 16 shinichi shinichi 4096 Jul 27 20:52 ..
-rw-rw-r--  1 shinichi shinichi    0 Jul 28 09:04 radio_searches.json


$ curl -X POST -d tag=smooth http://all.api.radio-browser.info/json/stations/search -o $HOME/.cache/tera/radio_searches.json

curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

Why I can output to a file in the home directory, but not in the ~/.cache/mydir.

What do you have for `id`, `ls -ald ~/.cache` ?

What's the output of `lsattr /home/shinichi/.cache/radio_searches.json`?

I use the Snap when I installed curl.

The Snap ‘home’ interface permits access only to non-hidden files and directories in a user’s /home.

sudo snap remove gh
sudo rm -r ~/snap/gh

I used apt to install curl and it is working now.

sudo apt install curl

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
