autistic screeching of a deranged crippled midget

Fantastic insight, Fredrick! The American judicial system is well known for it's healthy and accommodating treatment of the mentally ill.

I sympathized with his statements about 8chan, even if I didn't totally agree I believed they were coming from a place of sincerity, but this is just fucking pathetic. It's clear now he just has a personal grudge.

Not to let this derail the thread, does anyone know of any other public forks of TempleOS like Shrine?

LA Based store selling TempleOS hats/hoodies apparently under the blessing of his family and 30% of the profits are being donated to the NAMI foundation Here
the page said:
Collection features many unique hats presented in Retro, arcade, Classic, Glow in the dark, Victorian era and so much more.

Looks like a callback to the early 90s Prince-of-Persia game:

p.s. This should be the headwear of choice for the daring software development interviewee. It'll either get you insta-hired, or "oof big yikes" blacklisted for being racist.

My Temple OS hat arrived recently. I wish I could get a picture of the glow. It's not blind yourself bright, but I'm surprised by how much it manages in total darkness. The weird thing is when trying to snap a picture I couldn't see it. The fact that 30% goes to mental illness awareness and that the Terry's family approved which charity is also great.

All in all a fantastic item, and if you do want some Terry hatware the D3VUR store is pretty good. Now all I need is Null to start the merch selling and everyone I meet can know I browse the internet.
 
BBC Radio 4 show about Terry on now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b4r3
BBC's slippin'. Affect/effect error in the description, smh fam.

Edit: Oh god this is not very good. Starts out okay, but then veers into outsider art bullshit. Has the usual over-veneration of Terry's technical ability and glossing over a couple of things. Particularly 'the 4chan trolls' are more or less blamed for Terry's decline, rather than the fairly documented 'he went right off his meds'. And his problems with the law, which are okay to gloss over but it leads to an impression that it was 'oh he was quiet and then suddenly he's dead' when no, most of us knew vaguely what was going on for those last couple weeks.

Also an additional veer into 'how do we deal with problematic artists' which uses examples of murderers with good art, which does not at all apply to a guy who ranted about glow in the dark CIA Niggers because he was literally crazy. We don't have to have a deep soul search about aesthetics because the guy who coded an OS said the N word. Terry was what he was. and he was interesting. We don't need to get all crazy about it.

Given the nature of that series it could have been far worse.
I had a minor sperg out in work when I flipped the radio to R4 and recognised Terry's voice.

God I hate journalists. Where the fuck were these scum when the "trolls" were the only people who even remotely gave a shit about the guy?

Calling him a racist.

It's honestly not surprising the history is already being rewritten. Soon it'll be just part of the story that "good websites" tried to help Terry get treatment while "that evil 4chan and the terrorist site KiwiFarms" made him say bad words and tricked him into burning bridges. How it always happens. Nature of the game.

It's only natural that nigger cattle and glow in the darks would try to control and distort any narrative they can but King Terry's legacy is too documented for any lies to stand up to actual scrutiny
