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.
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.
Sometimes people manage other computers so it’s not practical to configure all of them and you can’t trust what people have configured for the power button
I saw other people mentioning managing multiple computers in an offise space. I wouldn’t trust that everybody wound configure the power button action.
Not on mobile but on desktop Firefox Multi-Account Containers paired with Temporary Containers is a funcking godsend. Especially so when I’m doing web dev work.
Other that that uBlock is pretty high on the list as usuall.
But wont this change how search is displayed? Honestly, I hope I can keep my alphabetical order. Learning some algorithmic categorization is not what I want to spend my time at work.
I just Alt + F4 from the desktop or just press the power button. I always change it to regular old shutdown.
Nah, my keyboard has too many buttons as is

In IT context local is a well establised term. It’s either hosted locally, i. e. on machine running the browser or not. A datacenter or cloud are remote machines also by the same well established definition.
