I did a year of literature when I didn’t know what to do in my life. I always liked computers so after that I applied to a computer science school. There I had a lot of fun and met a lot of people, some I still have in my life, learned some useful mindsets. Before I managed to get an actual degree I started working. From NOC engineer to software developer where I happily stayed. Did I need my higher education? Probably not, but I think it gave me another perspective and friends and many fun memories.

It looks like you have associated .desktop files with the LibreOffice Writer application. So when you click on the “launcher” icon for Praat that application tries to open the “launcher” file as a text document.

This answer should help you reset that association, https://superuser.com/questions/21626/ubuntu-change-the-default-program-used-to-open-a-type-of-file/21642#21642
