Inactive Terry A. Davis / Terrence Andrew Davis - Creator of TempleOS (formerly LoseThos/sparrowOS)

He's in a better place.
I genuinely like the spirit behind TempleOS. As big tech does more woke crackdowns on Christian values, something like TempleOS would be worth making. The future for dissident speech might have to be homebrew OSs in home-built PC rigs. (Though "jUsT mAkE yOuR oWn" is far from a solution)
 
Ain't it funny how we never appreciated Terry until he died? Kinda shows that we take our beautiful lolcows for granted. For example, Barb is probably gonna die soon, and there's no way Chris will survive on his own. When he dies, the same thing will happy. Maybe the point to take away from this is that we should appreciate the lolcows we have, while they're still alive, since lolcows are unpredictable, and you can never truly know when they die...

I disagree. TempleOS has always been one of the most amazing pieces of outsider art both because of how amazing it is technically and how much it eschews popular computing conventions. Not to mention that from the get go even if you think the whole idea of TempleOS is batshit insane and Terry is insane, the fact remains that this guy made a complete operating system with its own language etc. That's a whole lot of talent right there and I've always unironically thought that society as a whole failed extremely talented yet non-neurotypical individuals like Terry A Davis.
 
My inspiration to become an amazing programmer in the future. Such a smart, disciplined man he was especially as a student going as far as earning a Masters in Electrical Engineering (not easy). Of course, TempleOS doesn't need to be mentioned. We all appreciate that feat already.

I'll see you around, Terry.
 
Rip Terry. The amount of effort he put into TempleOS even when fighting scizophrenia is immense. Its incredible that he was able to dedicate so much time to a life project. I know someone with the disorder that can't even cook on a bad day because he can't get through one step without being distracted by a voice. Godspeed Terry, and thank you for the light you put into this world.
 
I recently started watching some of Terry's videos over again and it's just made me miss him even more. It's still hard for me to believe that he's passed away and even harder to put into words just how I feel about it. But even though he is gone TempleOS serves as an eternal monument to his genius. Rest in peace Terry, we all miss you a lot.

King Terry is somewhere where his mind is crystal clear and he'll be able to do his work and feel amazing. If heaven isn't a place where people like Terry can't do their work, I don't think I'd fancy going there.

Rest in peace, big guy. Your light is brighter than ever now.
 
Tech shrek did a great job teaching soynus about the glowies
Really? There are seriously people who hate Linus, of all people?
but also in their contracts they can't make videos for their personal channels that is tech related without LMG approval as far as i'm aware.
If this is true then I am far more willing to shit on LMG for that, but not specifically on Linus himself (despite it being his company and his contract). I still don't get the Linus hate at all apart from this.
