A cult following for the God-given operating system. Huh. Sounds a bit sacrilegious.

TempleOS was a fork of SynagogueOS, so this isn't surprising. I've heard MosqueOS is really gaining adoption.

They all perform system calls to the same kernel.

I really don't understand this community sometimes. If you are going to downvote a comment, why not explain why? Is there a perceived laziness? Or have I missed something???

At least let me know what is / isn't appropriate

Soliciting help for a project to target Davis with unkindness is inappropriate, to put it mildly.

I can't argue with your observation regarding understanding the Hacker News community.

I can tell you why I'm inclined to downvote this comment, though I don't know if it's the safe reasons others have. Note that I can only see the question, not whatever you removed.

Those outbursts are bordering on full schizophasia, they are symptoms of his mental illness. He is certainly an interesting person, and it's perfectly natural to be curious about his condition. But you're asking for a video depicting him suffering some of the most severe effects of his mental illness, which borders on voyeuristic. Being interested in him is fine, being interested in schizophrenia is fine, but that curiosity has to be balanced with some degree of constraint and respect for a person who is suffering from a debilitating condition.

Again, nothing wrong with curiosity, and I don't doubt that you meant no harm in asking. But it's important that we don't let discussions about Terry devolve into some sort of carnival freak show, and your question stepped too close to that line.

Look here's the deal with him. The man is unwell. What do you have to gain from digging down rabbit holes like this?

In regards to Terry I have taken a "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything" policy. Every once in a while, if you like his work send him a note telling him so. Don't endeavor to increase his suffering. The same fate may await any of us.

Whenever I watch one of Terry's videos, I get highly motivated to program. Not read a blog post comparing frameworks, or a debate about some programming idiom, or even designing some larger project. But literally type stuff into a computer and make things appear on the screen. It is remarkable how watching his TempleOS videos uncovers the fascination I had of computers from my youth, 30 years ago.
