Unwanted edits to my question in ask Ubuntu You have to ask yourself: why unwanted? Reading the question, it is clear that neither of you should have done what you did in the edit war. The simple an …

Feels like a silly question, but someone please shine a brilliant light on this: Since a few days, none of the rep changes occurred "in green" on any of my devices, (so not) like this: just the numbe …

You will most certainly know a few of the keywords from your question. To find all questions I ever asked, containing the word python, I type in the search bar (showing "Search on Ask Ubuntu): pyth …
