Can’t find the Artist name. If you knew him, post below.
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?
Daemon = day man with some twang
I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with
R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemonThat message has been forever seared into my brain and comes up when seeing the word “daemon”.

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
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
They were demons but with a funny æ
What game is that?
WarCraft 1, very fun.
Stop poking meeeeee!
Cool. Looks fun. Thanks.
Warcraft
They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.
So why are they called daemons and not demons?
Alt spelling.
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.
They’re equated because Christians label all heathenry as demonic.
Tl;Dr It’s the same word but with an æ
