    Any background process, routine, or program contributes to the complexity of the overall system, which does indeed contribute to ruin as entropy gradually builds and collapse/death/crashing becomes inevitable.

    Which is to say, I agree with these definitions.

    I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because it’s the same word. But I’ll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it’s a Ferengi captain.

      I pronounce it like the German word for demon, Dämon [ˈdeːmɔn] 🔊 because daemon is how Germans would write the word in lowercase ASCII.
