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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Good, I was worried.
I kinda like the guy. I'm not even sure if he's legitimately racist. I'm not sure if nigger = black person in his mind. He doesn't seem to go through the rhetoric that most white supremacists do.
I think that die to his illness, he may not realize what he's really saying. Note how he very rarely says nigger outside of the context of CIA niggers.

Racism isn't even an issue here. Racism is a bad thing when legitimate, functioning members of society hold prejudice against people of race and bar them from partaking in society, culture and economy. Terry will never be in charge of anything, so regardless of what he thinks of niggers it's a non-issue.

In one video, he said "hey nigger" to some rando walking by, who was also black. I think he is racist, but I don't know if he'd be racist if he were actually treated effectively. He might be one of the unfortunate people who just don't get much positive impact from antipsychotics.

I'm gonna call that a coincidence. He seems to not be entirely in control of what he vocalizes.

Got a backup of templeos.org and his two alternate YouTube channels up on archive.org.

Alternate channel. Older TempleOS videos and used for streaming briefly after his main channel was stream banned
https://archive.org/details/TerryDavisAltChannel
Old channel (losethos). Oldest videos from 2007, OS tour from 2010 where Terry is much more coherent.
https://archive.org/details/TerryDavislosethosChannel
Backup of templeos.org from ~May 23, 2017
https://archive.org/details/TempleOS_Website_Archive
templeos.org videos - May 17 2017 - June 4 2017
https://archive.org/details/TempleOS_org_videos

Another user by the name of trapexit is uploading videos from his main channel
https://archive.org/details/@trapexit

I'll fill in any missing gaps as needed from that user's uploads and upload extra YouTube metadata. Auto-transcribed subtitles are useful for finding which videos Terry said something specific in (or if you just want to figure out how many times he drops the n-bomb).

--

On another note, Terry updated the templeos.org page with a photo of himself and a mini biography. He also changed the links so they both specify that his files and videos are public domain works.

In his latest video he briefly mentions that he changed how he retrieves the logs from his site, and a quick peek at TOS_Supplemental1.ISO.C does show changes in his scripts. The TempleOS ISO has also shrunken by about 0.8MB without explanation. Guess Terry's actually doing some developing again?

"I am schizophrenic, living on Social Security Disability. Earning money
jeopardizes my checks. Furthermore, I have verified that monk logic is sound."

This looks like something ebig weenz would put on the site after hacking it. Sure Davis wrote this himself?

he's stopped doing any real programming anyway.

He elaborated a bit on that during his Twitch stream (yes... he had a Twitch). He said he'd considered TempleOS stable and complete to this point, but Linux, Microsoft, and the CIA still haven't given into his demands to support the RedSea filesystem.

At this point he's just defacing it. He dropped ISO9660 support out of spite I guess (explains the filesize drop) and isn't too concerned about running on bare metal anymore until he becomes ruler of Intel. He also redid the way he fetches logs, as said in an earlier video, because Yahoo dropped FTP support in favor of SFTP. I wonder if that change also sparked the wild hare to redo the site. He managed a solid hour of programming on his inaugural stream before it devolved into the usual YouTube, checking his email (he didn't have chat open) and emailing Dianna every 5 minutes. The Twitch lasted 24 hours with two streams before he closed it himself.

In his latest vlog 'Cop Bop' he says he further plans on removing FAT32 support and the serial port driver. I figured he'd keep FAT32 because he mounts it to moves files to/from Black Satan, but he pondered 'What if I never use it anymore? Just finish it." There's still that RedSea driver written by, as he put it, that guy with the 'Indian nigger name'

The fucking serial port? Are you kidding?
Why even have TempleOS run on x86_64 at all, just make it a complete abstract concept so no standard in the universe can work with it

"TempleOS can only run on a sanctified hard drive made in the Holy Land and washed in oils from the Mount of Olives, and requires the recitation of the Nicene Creed during startup to ensure proper function. Should TempleOS malfunction, contact an exorcist to drive out the unclean spirits from your reliquary/hard drive."

Terry has legitimate mental issues, this is how he writes. He is very open and public about how exceptional it is for him to go back to work when he has a fucking space alien, and how he won't go back to work.

That's actually a damn shame. On the one hand, I enjoy the insanity he brings with his "CIA Niggers" and whatnot. But on the other, you've got a guy who really could have gone places if he seeked a lot of serious help throughout his life.

Instead, we have him making the only OS system "endorsed by god" and his dislike of the CIA. And his parents can't support him forever.

On another note, Terry has also talked about how the mental health people are trying to fuck with him.

A little unrelated, but I'd like to see how Terry would react if he ever saw this: http://www.libsf.org/ and http://www.libsf.org:8990/projects/LIB/repos/libsf/browse
It's another christfag who started his own open-source movement and ecosystem centered around worship. He has his own operating system, Exodus or ES/2, the design is based off OS/2.

Okay I think I just stumbled upon Terry 2.0

It's somewhat similar in spirit, but while Terry did all the coding himself and now has a complete OS including a number of applications, this Rick Hodgin guy just seems to have written an experimental kernel and is now begging others to write his OS for him.

Also: "Why butterflies? They exhibit a dual life-cycle. They start out as a particular form designed for one purpose: consumption. After that they enter a cocoon, transform, and emerge as butterflies." -- this is true for a great number of insects, not just butterflies.

(Considering ladybugs are known as "Marienkäfer" ("Mary's Beetles") in German, it would make sense to base a CPU on their DNA from a Catholic standpoint!)


PS.
I actually met adults(!!) who thought that you can tell a ladybug's age from the number of dots on its wings; they imagined them hatching as little buglets without dots and then growing and gaining one dot per year. When I told them that these insects have a larval stage which doesn't look much like the dotted imago, they refused to believe me. :stupid:
