From my experience, killing a process from task manager does free up any file locks held by the process. However, I wouldn’t consider it being graceful, any in-app cleanup is lost this way.

I believe Tom Scott had a video on gif vs jif with good arguments for both. His argument boiled down to what association a person makes when first introduced to the word.
Examples included words like gift (where you say g) and gin (where you say j).
I don’t think there is a correct answer, only an answer. Depending on criteria chosen I can make an argument for either pronunciation.
This, but also I just use my native language punctuation rules and hope for the best.
You can keep your prescriptive linguistic nazism. I’ll enjoy my descriptive freedom.
In all seriousness, prescriptive linguistics have a limit in a sense that language is formed by usage and that’s inherently a “descriptive” process.
It is possible to prescribe language when you’re in a majority of users, but after some critical mass of people there is nothing you can do. Even when they’re technically wrong.
Apparently the creator of the format argued for jif. But then again the g stands for graphics.
Honestly this whole argument just shows to me that english is way too inconsistent with it’s spelling vs pronunciation. Which is maddening coming from a language where letters correspond one to one to sounds you make.
To defend myself, I’m not a native speaker and we only have a single word for both conceps. So to me these are synonyms because my language doesn’t differentiate between the two.
Even after looking up some definitions they pretty synonymous to me.
Oof… My language doesn’t differentiate between types of envy, we have one word. So I cannot even translate this.
That’s how language works. You could say that a similar thing happened to the suffix -core. Where originally it was ment to be used with one word – a certain musical genre. Now, however, I can append it to anything and it means just a general esthetic.
As for rougelike, it no longer means a game that’s like Rouge. It means a game where you losing means starting over, where playing more doesn’t necessarily mean the game gets easier due to accumulated XP, wealth, gear or whatevet other mechanic.

After how the Withcher was butchered, I’d like to see less adaptations.
What’s a carpool lane? Do we have them in Europe?
Nah, my keyboard has too many buttons as is
However, you can save encrypted ssh, gpg keys and save that encryption key in the OS keyring.
During my time in a call center people would often call for invoices or messages they received. Most of my work there was reading the thing together with them. Nothing more was necessary, I just read alound their itemized invoice that they had received and it would solve their problem.
Click through pop-ups are even worse in this regard. I myself usually just automatically click No before I understand what just happened.
I’m the kind of user that cares about function over form, so everything in Windows 11 just annoyed me. Mainly because it was just changes in design that required me to reorient and to learn to use again with no good reason.
I still use Windows at work just because our whole dev stack is on Windows. And every new design change just gets in my way. An OS should enable me do the things that I need and want, it should move out of my way. Sure I’ve added some hacks to restore the functionality I was used to. But the fact that I need to fight the OS to bring back context menus annoys me to no end.
Also, as a dev, I find many things easier done on Linux that Windows, mainly because it just has a better CLI support. It’s not as bad now with Windows terminal, winget
and other improvements (dotnet
having a proper CLI interface), however I still mostly use git-bash for common stuff like searching the file system. Not to mention that for something like docker I basically just need WSL.
How is IAs approach much different to that of a regular library?
True, they were digitising physical books and lending copies. But this is not much different from how a regular library works (assuming controlled digital lending, yeah I heard aboud Covid period 😕).
I’m not an expert on American law (know nothing about it), but reading the articles and comments I thing there’s an argument to be made for IA functioning as a library.
Yeah, that. I have no need for mobile syncing, but I believe loqseq provided syncing works via git
I use logseq for work notes and Obsidian for personal. Obsidian is more markdown which I like for my loose notes. logseq, on the other hand, is more focused on productivity and it’s fully opensource. Obsidian is only free for personal use, however their notes being closer to standart markdown means that they could be openned with any text editor and be just as functional.
Syncing between computers is easy – it’s just a git repo. Dealing with mobile is tricier but I never needed it so can’t comment much.
Yeah
