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

RIP Terry. This was truly just a case of mental illness tearing a person apart. Terry was an interesting guy and his descent into schizophrenia was wild to watch. It's kind of a shame that now that he's dead so many ~tech nerds~ flock to download templeOS or losethOS and act like they really followed the saga and didn't shun the hell out of the poor man when he was halfway sane and trying to be part of online programming communities.

Personally, I haven't touched TempleOS- the headache of booting it and the barrage of paint-palette neons and white would most certainly incinerate my eyes at first glance, but I always enjoyed the concept of the music generator and have wanted to play with it. I also look to Terry when I ask the question: does religion drive people mad? or is organized religion just especially tantalizing to those who are going mad? I don't get it.
 
This slipped my mind on the day of remembrance but I recommend people download an archive of his youtube channel.
You can use wget to download only specific files and allow easy direct pause/resume by just stopping the command and rerunning it later.
Code:
wget -vcr -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 --accept=mp4 https://archive.org/download/TerryADavisTempleOSYouTubeChannelArchive
--accept= is followed by the filetypes/extensions you want. You can leave it off if you want all of the files.

Here's another archive with more than just media files if you would like to work on keeping more than just his videos and streams contained above.
Code:
wget -vcr -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 https://archive.org/download/TerryADavis_TempleOS_Archive

Torrents are also available for each archive, though I'm not sure how good or bad they are.
 
You will be forever remembered. As the person who built God's Temple in a machine through code.
And you were really good at it at that. Impressive programming, Terry.

RIP

I'm taking a gamble and assuming you're being genuine with that but:


This paper has some interesting information regarding schizos and religion of various types.

But on topic specifically to Terry: I always feel so sad thinking about how his family ended up distancing themselves and playing off his illness as him being "quirky" and his homelessness across the country as him being a "traveler." I know they're from the (much) older generation, but it always makes me wonder what might have happened if he had actual support from family. Truly a bummer. Rest in peace, friend.

Terry is with Adolf on the dark side of the moon, helping the resistance forces perfect their mechs' OS. Any day now they'll come and free us from the kike controlled CIA nigger menace and Terry will have been indispensable to the cause ;-;7
