I have now been trying to find a job since several months, without success. I would greatly appreciate if some of you could give me a feedback on my CV. Here attached is a possible CV that I would send to apply for a behavioral-analytics position.

More information regarding my background:
I have a training as a researcher in psychology, meaning that I am not competent to improve people's health. I did a PhD in cognitive psychology, before moving abroad to continue working as a postdoctoral researcher. I went first in France (one year), followed by the German-speaking part of Switzerland (3 years) and went back to Belgium three years ago. Getting a job as a researcher is extremely difficult, even when applying anywhere in Europe (let alone specifically Belgium). I recently moved to Antwerp and am looking for a job mostly in the region. That said, I am also looking in Brussels.

I am fully aware that my professional experience is irrelevant to industry jobs. It is therefore difficult to claim 10 years of relevant experience. I believe that I have very good transferable skills though. I analyzed a lot of data, ran a lot of statistical models, and have really good communication skills.

I am French-speaking and my Dutch isn't great at all. I have been taking Dutch classes since two years and will start intensive classes in September. I am fully aware that not being fluent in Dutch isn't helping. Despite this, I would really love making a career in Flanders and being able to speak Dutch fluently.

I am mostly applying for data analytics positions, but never managed to get an interview. I only got an interview for a pre-sale job because it required fluency in French and my analytical skills were appreciated. I am now starting to look specifically for jobs in Antwerp where French is absolutely essential, even if that doesn't correspond to my dream job or if it is an entry-level job. My impression is that French might be an advantage, even if fewer positions exist in the first place.

If you have ideas regarding alternative career paths, I would gladly take those. Data analytics is the most straightforward transition for a profile like mine, but I am clearly open to alternatives.

I recently switched from Nordfox (dark theme) to Dayfox (light theme). It is really refreshing to switch back to a light theme.

It looks like blur doesn't work on my machine. Here is a screenshot of my lua config file + the windows (on the right) not displaying blur. Changing the ignore_opacity rule doesn't make a difference. I use Hyprland 0.56.0 and cachyos 7.1.6-1. Installing hyprland manually or via cmake doesn't make a difference. Do you have any idea what could be the issue?

[Solved] - See comments

Indeed. I work a postdoc in the academic system. One of the students I supervise had to download a file I currently work on for years in order to complete a task I gave her. It turned out that the file I created myself was in fact a virus!!! Here is a screenshot she took as a proof. For those who can't read French, it's written "Impossible to download - Virus detected". Without the power of Microsoft Edge, I would never have been able to realize that just by myself. Thanks again Microsoft for making my life way simpler. And fuck Linux.

I initially wanted to find a subreddit to rant about Microsoft Edge, and I randomly ended-up here. So here is the setup I use since 11 years. I probably saved hundreds of euros so far. Do you guys have a good shaving soap to recommend? I am based in Europe (Belgium). Kusje

Who remembers drinking this as a kid in primary school?

Is anyone experiencing issues with fonts after a recent update? It looks like all the suckless tools (dwm, dmenu, st) display a weird font instead of the usual one (JetBrainsMono). A few things:

- I don't have such issues using alacritty or any other non-suckless softwares
- Similar softwares such as dwm or dmenu have this issue. This is not only st.
- It looks like I can't even change the default font anymore. Fonts such as Times or Arial won't work either. I attached screenshots to give examples comparing st vs. Alacritty.
- It doesn't look like this is an issue related to the fonts themselves, as the fonts work using other softwares (such as Alacritty, libreoffice, etc).
