Yeah its a misnomer that computers count starts at zero. When you count you start at one as that is how counting works. What computers do when zero comes into play is an index and when it creates an index starting a zero makes sense since it would be a waste to not use the address space of 0000 to store data in ram or any other data storage medium.

    I will say how awesome would it be if children came out genderless till adulthood then they touch a seashell to pick on their 18th birthday. Solve so may problems. STEM becomes more accessible to woman. No pink tax on toys.

    Switching their applications while still on Windows 10 to something that works on Linux is the best start to the transition. That way you are not learning a new OS and applications when you switch to Linux.

    One of the best advice I have ever got is when you talk to people is ask their names after giving yours. It turns people you meet into the start of being friends. It shows you care to know more about them.
