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

I'm gonna hop off since nothing is happening, but the iso is much smaller than the archived one (I'm too lazy to actually boot them up), so I think this post checks out. Looks like there's some basketball Americans to hunt down.

>several family members die
>post image macro with "LOL. WE LOVE YOU ALL"

That's old people for you.

Really the only CIA Nigger Conspiracy Theory that I can buy is that if the dude made a fake Terry profile to get "in", he could have also spoofed other profiles.

While it's true that he could have spoofed other accounts, those accounts are FB friends with people who know and talk to one another IRL. Terry's contact with people was intermittent and his old account had been dormant since the end of last year, which makes it much easier to spoof an account than a known, very active FB account suddenly having a second active account pop up.

It's a lot of work to create a fake account with a history like Theresa's or David's and have family interact with it without realising it's not genuine. Faking Terry's account was relatively simple.

fwiw, the known, old Terrence Andrew Davis account was FB friends with Theresa.

this sounds like glow in the dark CIA shit to me. terry stopped coming to the irc some weeks back when douchebag mcgee removed the link from the site. now he's completely MIA. i think they got him and are making him code. WE SHOULD ORGANIZE A SEARCH PARTY.

It feels oddly poetic that Terry’s death would be shrouded in confusion and conspiracy.

Terry would have wanted it this way.

A while back the ISO got split into several different ISOs. 5.03 (the last major update) linked here is 400-500k bigger, along with the copy of 5.03 posted to MajorGeeks. The contents of the TempleOS.org site rip included some supplemental ISOs that contained more content.

The only ISO modification I've seen was when tsheikhs added in an email from Terry into the OS, and when Terry might have tried fixing the "redsea" bug caused by a corrupted copy of TempleOS that he had on his HDD.

Oh and there was also the Shrine TempleOS fork/distro not done by Terry but that's another story entirely and isn't really ISO modification in that sense.

If all of the profiles are fake, then he's prime Kiwi material. We're talking about someone who can create Fakebook accounts and fill them with the every day minutiae of the real person's life, like birthday wishes to grandchildren, posts to their own kids, childhood photos, family visits, new pets, etc - all with accompanying photos - and keep it up long term . Then do that for multiple accounts which interact with both each other and the unaware. That takes serious talent and commitment.

he's gone. F you magnificent bastard. tOS will live on forever

I hope everyone downs some Shasta at a Labor Day BBQ this weekend.

As you're typing your post, think about how Boogie and the Hartley Hooligans are still alive.

CIA jokes aside, what would be some realistic reasons for Terry's passing? Was it suicide? Some sort of accidental fall or vehicular collision?

 

[The Great Chandler]

I'm hoping he finally started taking med and getting his life back.

 

[AnOminous]

All I want is for someone to tell me this isn't true.

Homeless people die accidentally all the time. Right now the money is on him being hit by a train as there was a report in the local media of an out of town man about his age being hit by a train not long after he uploaded his last video and not far from where he was known to be at that time.

Channers are planning to ring the local coroner's office on Tuesday, but that will just start another "well how does anyone know you really rang them and what they said" tangent.

If Terry really is dead I am genuinely sad. He had a real mental illness- not a tumblr badge of coolness mental illness- and he had genuine talent as a programmer. Hope god honors the creator of his OS.

 

[NQ 952]

Even if he isn't dead, all of the conspiracy theory stuff surrounding this event is a perfect memorial to Terry's life tbh

 

[Tramadol]

I'm gonna play games at 640x480 in his honor for a week

Posted on /tech/. Obviously, it could be fake. Having trouble getting it to archive.

I feel bad for the family at the moment; they’re probably getting bombarded with messages about Terry.

I'd be losing my shit at people. At the end of the day, strangers on the internet have no right to any information at all.

Contact with the family isn't going to convince the internet anyway - they'll just say it's faked. It would be better to get one of the journalists who previously wrote about Terry to contact either the police department or the coroner in The Dalles. The original article about the train incident said the name was being withheld until family were notified, which they obviously have been now if it was Terry.

I did notice Ethan Ralph commenting on this yesterday. Maybe he could follow it up.
