I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

TempleOS supports multithreading, thanks. THanks.

May Terry be with you, child. <3

TempleOS creator Terry Davis is homeless and living in a van

He was a talented computer programmer. He'd worked for some large companies, including Ticketmaster, until he had a psychotic break. One day, he became convinced people were following him. He got into his car and started driving. He realized God was talking to him through the radio. The radio convinced him he had to drive south, to Texas. Once there, he dismantled his car looking for tracking devices, then abandoned it and walked into the desert. He was picked up by a helpful police officer, but then jumped out of the moving car and fractured his collarbone...

Terry Davis, a schizophrenic programmer, has spent 10 years building an operating system to talk to God.


Now apparently he decided to take the train.

He is infamous for coining the term "CIA niggers"

(Edited 31 seconds later.)

I remember most recently Terry updated his website a lot with information regarding the Knights Templar.

He seemed convinced that he himself was as pious as a Templar. I like to think that maybe in another life he could have been one.

Go peacefully and enter that Kingdom of God, pious Templar.

No more anime titties?

@previous (H)
no there's still anime titties

@915,032 (Kook !!a6qjFG7HF)

lol'd.

@previous (J)
He is though. Also sometimes it is "neon CIA niggers"

Can we crowdfund someone to sneak that into a Trump speech please.

@previous (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU)
r04r could hack the teleprompter

@previous (MR MIKE PENCE)

If r04r is gonna go to all that trouble, she may as well get Trump to spread the fucking word.

@previous (J)
she may as well admit that she wants me inside her..

@previous (M)

Let poor Bert's soul rest.

@915,348 (M)
One day.
One day.
One day we shall all be one with r04r.
She is unstoppable.
One day, all will be consumed and combined with the powerful intellect of r04r.
Do not fret; for the day will soon be before us.
Take solace in the might of r04r, 'fore it beckons.

right on..

> Can we crowdfund someone to sneak that into a Trump speech please.

That would be the best thing to ever happen in US history

I wonder is Kissinger will speak at Perry's funeral like he did at McCain's..

I miss him. :(

Glug. No it isn't.

If you are not up to reading here are some high points

TempleOS is somewhat of a legend in the operating system community. Its sole author, Terry A. Davis, has spent the past 12 years attempting to create a new operating from scratch. Terry explains that God has instructed him to construct a temple, a 640x480 covenant of perfection. Unfortunately Terry also suffers from schizophrenia, and has a tendency to appear on various programming forums with a burst of strange, paranoid, and often racist comments. He is frequently banned from most forums.

This combination of TempleOS's amateurish approach and Terry's unfortunate outbursts have resulted in TempleOS being often regarded as something to be mocked, ignored, or forgotten. Many people have done some or all of those things, and it's understandable why.
There are many bad things to be said about TempleOS, many aspects of it that seem poorly constructed or wouldn't work in the "real world". I'm going to ignore them here. It's very easy to be negative, but you will never learn anything new by doing so.

Installation was incredibly painless. The supplied distribution acts as both a LiveCD and hard-disk installer. Hit 'Y' a couple of times and you've installed it. It installed faster than Ubuntu does.

Booting Windows this morning, I can't help but notice how long it takes. And even when Windows 'appears' to have booted, it doesn't actually become properly usable for perhaps another minute. If you listen, you can spot the point at which usability is declared because Windows plays the startup sound to indicate it.

TempleOS boots off hard disk in 1 second. There is no paging, so it is instantly usable.

TempleOS has its own programming language, HolyC {Not a high point but one must admit that is funny}

he language provided, HolyC, is at its heart a reasonably complete version of C but with some notable extensions.

There is no main() function in TempleOS programs. Anything you write at top-level scope is executed as it runs through the compiler. In C++ you can do something like int a = myfunction();, but you can't just write myfunction(); and just run it. Why not?

Every piece of code in TempleOS (except the initial kernel/compiler) is JIT compiled on demand. Yes that's right - you can run a program without compiling it, simply by using an #include statement from the command line. The program is then brought into the shell's current namespace, and from there you can execute individual functions directly just by issuing commands.

There is no hardware support. By that I mean that TempleOS does not support any hardware other than the minimal core system that makes a PC. There is no support for any graphics card other than VGA, there is no support for any soundcard other than the PC speaker, and there is no support for networking.

TempleOS does not use memory protection. All code in the system runs at ring 0, the highest privilege level, meaning that a stray pointer write could easily crash the entire system. This is a very deliberate design choice:

Terry uses the following analogy:

Linux is a semi-truck with 20 gears to operate.
Windows is more like a car.
TempleOS is a motorbike. If you lean over too far, you'll fall off. Don't do that.

There is far to much to highlight beyond this other than to say - Terry was bat shit crazy - That said he was made in Gods Image.
