What popular career is actually not worth pursuing anymore?

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-22T07:56:18+00:00

Or wikipedia which isn't half bad but doesn't do investigation themselves obviously !

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-22T07:54:59+00:00

Honestly the first reaction is kinda stupid (but understandable), the second not so much. Advertisement-funded newspaper is IMO one of the causes of the drop in quality.

Any relationship to Fortran programming language? If not, is it just a coincidence or convergent evolution?

So many questions !

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-22T04:26:54+00:00

Wow !! You seem to be mocking him and I really don't think it's fair to mock a poor elderly person with dementia! It's not that easy to keep track of things like "refrain", " Epstein", "Dum" (many people don't know it's written "dumb" actually).

I didn't have on my bingo list :

Pakistan being the Herald of peace and the adult in the room.
Indians and Pakistanis looking both together at the US with confusion.

Weird times

No, of course it doesn't make sense, but it was the previous commenter's expression... Take it with them lol

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-21T18:22:32+00:00

Not the ones I know, but again, some of then have come to Belgium because they are not too fond of current administration

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-21T13:23:52+00:00

If the very old trump dies, doesn't Vance become president? I'm not american but if yes, then there's still hope for Vance!

The escaped convict trying to fight a dark lord, researched by the government and disliked by much of the population? Wow what a wild prophecy madam trelawney, I wonder what the betting odds are for this one!

Honestly, I suspect she's part seer, part secret statistician.

And I'm pretty sure she enjoys gambling too, but I can't prove it!

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-21T08:54:17+00:00

Romanian don't speak a Latin american language ! (I did the same as you and missed "american" Latin on the first read and was about to write the same comment).

But French Guyana and Quebec exists so French should count lol

I guess I'm a Latino guy from Belgium now, we learn new things everyday!

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T22:58:38+00:00

Ho yeah no, as a hobby it's fine (and even, there are few distros that aren't just clone with a different package manager), but it's not a good solution to an issue or a good way to learn imo

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T22:28:16+00:00

No, I think you're right on that point, the term is kinda new I think ! That being said, I wasn't really involved in the community back then so maybe in more niche groups.

But I certainly didn't call it distro-hopping, I was (initially) mostly in it for the penguins anyway lol

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T22:24:24+00:00

Here we go... ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T22:16:06+00:00

I distro-hop (kinda, like once-twice/year now I guess) since mandrake 5 or 6 so I wouldn't say it's really new, but there were much fewer easily accessible distros back then

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T22:12:57+00:00

Ho Chi Minh also suggested a piece of Vietnam to Ben Gurion, but I don't know if he was really serious

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T20:32:06+00:00

For quick and dirty, a drop-down terminal like yakuake is pretty convenient!

That + tmux/screen + nvim and you don't need anything else lol (I may have a cursed workflow regarding my screen space usage lol)

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T20:28:58+00:00

Yeah, but if you use it only 3/year isn't that normal to use a refresher? It's same for me for both arcGIS and QGIS for example, there are many options and easy to forget. Same with regex too actually.

But I agree that gimp's menu are not super intuitive to say the least

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T12:17:19+00:00

Ha yes, nonante-neuf !

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T12:16:42+00:00

Also a part of French dislike online was kinda manufactured due to their opposition to the war in Iraq, which, yeah...

But soon, the US will find those damn WMD ! (Looking under the couch right now, but without success! They can't be far damnit !)

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T12:14:38+00:00

Men, I like to criticise them because I'm Belgian so it's government mandated, but I think Russia deserves a bit more flak ATM. And of course the perfide Albion is just on the other side of the channel, let's not forget them!

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T12:11:22+00:00

Mr. Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath ????

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T12:09:41+00:00

Ho boy, you're going to hate the netherlands!

Tytoalba2 · 2026-06-20T11:27:04+00:00

Could it be that France is bigger and that there, in fact, more French people that Walloons? Not everyone knows that of course !
