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.

I pronounce it da-eh-mon in my head, it sounds more old-timey than “dee-mon”.

Is that because you have a daemon in your brain, swapping neurons to force you to pronounce it wrong?

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.
