minus-square@tatterdemalion@programming.devlinkfedilink3•6 months ago “Daemon”, for a process that is detached from your terminal That’s factually incorrect. Daemons are often spawned from “early” processes whose ancestors are not TTYs.
minus-square@ericjmorey@programming.devlinkfedilink3•edit-26 months ago “Cascading Style Sheets”, just to mean that properties can be overridden This one is really wrong too. But I think his overall point is made clear by other examples. Nomenclature tends toward jargon in software culture. But that’s true in any field.
minus-square@MonkderZweite@feddit.chlinkfedilink3•6 months agoNo, seriously. Article probably means background processes. Maybe aplies to session-daemons or user-daemons. Other daemons (udev, logrotate) were started long before there was any shell.
