Can’t find the Artist name. If you knew him, post below.

crontab is actually neutral evil
the artist, i think, is owen cyclops
Cron is absolutely lawful, not neutral. If there’s any deamon that defines lawfulness it’s sendmail, but after it, it’s cron.
Cunningham’s Law ftw
There absolutely is lawful neutral.

I’ve never heard of daemons outside a programming context
They were divine beings above humans and below gods, they’re probably the main inspiration for both angels and demons in Christianity
Nope, daemon is just the Latin spelling. Sometimes we use it nowadays for fun to mean different things.
In religious studies, daemon or daimon is used to refer to pre Christian supernatural beings as I said. There’s a huge difference between beings that may or may not be evil vs demons who are generally regarded as evil by definition. Demons got their name from daimons, but they’re not fully equivalent.
What game is that?
WarCraft 1, very fun.
Stop poking meeeeee!
Cool. Looks fun. Thanks.
Warcraft
They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.
I recently read it in a book. It was used for an evolved human form. That was my first time seeing it other than programming too

What about the Daniel Suarez Daemon, a decision tree designed to take over the world?
I’m so ready for that thing to be real and just take over this shit.
I’m an idealist lol.
Loved them all. What’s next?
That doesn’t look like Pantalaimon?
He just got his daemon, there’s no way it already settled into its final shape.
So why are they called daemons and not demons?
Many people equate the word “daemon” with the word “demon”, implying some kind of satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. “Daemon” is actually a much older form of “demon”; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person’s character or personality. The ancient Greeks’ concept of a “personal daemon” was similar to the modern concept of a “guardian angel”—eudaemonia is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons.
Ah, the joke’s part of a quote - my first thought was you highlighting it might cause a po-faced editor to remove it.
Alt spelling.
