Q: 

I never coded in python, but already in C++ and Java.
By "find my way" I mean a tip that will help me avoid creating many questions
AND also almost not have to study the documentation.


A:

Blender has a python console with auto completion (TAB key)!

For gimp 2.10. 
The circular brush suddenly becomes elliptical and changing some random setting.

I tried changing all settings and even restarting gimp.

To fix, I just deleted the folder ~/.config/GIMP, but I think it could be just some file inside of it, comment if you find out.
The other tip on the internet said to reboot, but I did not want to do that.

Out of patience to let this question/answer be accepted on stackexchange sites also... feel free to do it.

Some games takes a long time merely to reach the Main menu.
After a crash, in the middle of a fight, what you least want is to wait a huge reload time.
So, after the crash, we would have to wait for the game initialization + the savegame loading times...
How to overcome this boredom?

First prepare a new wineprefix properly:

There are several questions about duplicating other user answer or just copying own answer etc...

This new feature would allow us to paste the link in a special way, that would show the other answer contents while having our own considerations above or below it.
When it is updated there, such changes would be shown on the nested contents too.

It could even be cross-site, as long such sites are from the same group (this means it uses the same safe content rules of text and media), and it could store the external site contents in a cache, in case the other site goes offline (like google caches homepages even in simple text).

The idea is, as the external answer won't apply word to word, our considerations would make the nested answer coherent with the current question, in wich case it would not be a duplicate.

We should not annoy people willing to contribute with their spare time, ideas and energy, for free, to projects they love, because of minor things, or what will probably happen is that people will just create and distribute their forks to escape from being bossed around like they are in their most probably oppressive jobs everywhere in this non utopic world. Just consider that they could be at parties having fun and many endless pleasures but they are sat behind their bright monitors, with a noisy fan nearby, focusedly coding to help us improve such marvels! Aww dammit! Did I just woke up some potential developer :o ?
