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.

That reminds me of a meme

Can we as a society STOP WITH THESE FUNCKING REDESIGNS?! We had ir right with Android whatever 3 or 4 vesions ago. No need to redo what is functional and we're used to.

And it's not just Android. Windows 11 is inventing the wheel all over again. Like dude, you did it with Windows 10. Why are you remaking everything? Just maintain, fix bugs and from time to time a feature that's needed.

I feel like more and more IT companies are changing designs just for the sake of looking fresh.

EDIT:
Wait, Android 16? I don't remember hearing about Android 15, did I miss something?

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.

Bold of you to assume we had hotel money when I was 12

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.

If one was indistinguishable from the other: taste, scent, texture, temperature, etc. You can't tell apart the real thing from your choice, but you know 100% what you are eating.

What would you choose and why?
