I remember when I first started in computers the most common question (after can you fix my computer?) was "What is the best language to learn?"
Even as a C/C++ programmer I never felt comfortable suggestion a n00b start on such languages. Delphi/Pascal came to mind but wasn't as readily available.
Finally, I am comfortable making a recommendation. And like all my opinions, these are well reasoned, clearly thought out, and obviously 100% correct, and if you disagree, you are probably wrong about other things too :)
So my current answer is Python.
I am open to opinions and experiences. Discussion anyone?

@georgia@spinster.xyz I don't believe that tusky hardblocks gab, just logging in. I use tusky on my phone and I am pretty sure I see posts from gab folks. I don't follow that many of them, but I thought I saw posts from them. I could be wrong, don't listen to a thing I say :)
Consider Subway Tooter as well. I used that for a while. but I liked tusky just fine. And it handles multiple instances. Subway tooter handles multiple instances at the same time without having to swap back and forth.

@Quinn glad I am not dating at this point on my life. Is that really a FB screen? It doesn't look as finished as most of their stuff? I guess you could just take all the meetings, and then query bout body parts or chromosomes to be sure.

@georgia@spinster.xyz I just looked. I searched for someone I know has a gab address. I can see the account, and I can see the person's toots. There is nothing recent enough to see it in my local feed, and my notifications have been cleared. But I am pretty sure it is fine. I think the only thing Tusky does is rickroll you if you try to use it to log into the gab instance. So unless you have a handle on a gab it shouldn't be a problem.

Please forgive me in advance if some amount of privilege sneaks through and oozes out the sides somewhere.
Okay, before today I kind of thought I was pretty woke, progressive, accepting, inclusive and reasonable individual.
When my daughter was around 15 it would appear that every girl in her class was a lesbian. As well the vast majority of the boys were claiming to be bi. One of her friends "came out" to her folks and was essentially disowned and kicked out of her house. I sat my daughter down and explained to her that I loved her and if the situation were to be such that she was a lesbian, I hope she would be the best possible lesbian she could be. I also explained to her the actual population percentages and the unlikelihood that every lesbian in our city all were in her class. :)
This situation all ironed itself out and as time went on the percentages much more closely resembled reality.
Now I have personally known, worked with and interacted with persons of all sorts of sexual orientations and choices. And I mean all sorts. I have never had any issue with being able to communicate about all sorts of topics. I have been a huge advocate for SSC, GGG, NGNL, LaLL, and all those other fun acronyms. :)
So I did my best to wrap my head around an explanation of a person's particular lot in life. This person, is an XY genetic male, Wishing to use PgPs of the feminine variety, and wants to be referred to as a girl. I could SMH a bit, but still I am okay. I ask some questions. The person does not dress as a girl. The person does not take any hormones or hormone suppressive therapy, nor has any intent to remove or reassign genitalia. I would venture to say, if I were to address this person on the street, I would have no clue whatsoever of the female choice.
Then here is the kicker. Hse goes on to explain that hse has a girlfriend with which they share a lesbian relationship.
There are some things coming to mind that at best would be crass, so I will hold my tongue. But try as I may, I can't wrap my head around what this all means.
I have no problem addressing any person as they wish to be. I have no judgement as to who they wish to love. And honestly the mechanics of which are none of my business.
I honestly want to be a person that is open minded, fair and accepting. But I can't see this as anything other than someone just hurting .... not a rational lifestyle choice or orientation or whatever the proper term might be.

Vim Window Commands have ex alternatives.
For example <C-w>o closes all other windows and keeps the current one. But you can do the same with :only
This is awesome and you can use the :help to find others.
However things like <C-w>J/K/L/M etc don't have such commands, what then? Well, that's where :wincmd comes in. It is the equivalent to <C-w> so you can use it instead so try :wincmd J or any of the other <C-w> commands...
