A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds? It was very sad to witness his condition deteriorating over the past months.

#12TempleOS (formerly J Operating System, SparrowOS and LoseThos) is a biblical-themed lightweight operating system created by the American programmer Terry A. Davis. He developed the system alone over the course of 10 years. It was designed to be the Third Temple, according to Davis, and uses an interface similar to a mixture of DOS and Turbo C. Davis describes the operating system as a modern x86-64 Commodore 64 with a variation of C (named HolyC) in place of BASIC.

#13Neither the post nor the Album stated appear in her timeline. Are they private? I'd hate to be the skeptic here, but there's no way I'm believing a screenshot that appeared on 4chan[0] without verifying first. [0] http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/67398108#p67398129

Except, Terry Davis became schizophrenic and wouldn't take his meds. He changed the name of his OS to TempleOS after he decided he was hearing god through it.
He used to comment here on HN (user "templeos" now deleted apparently), but his increasingly irrelevant and (literally) insanely racist comments quickly led him to being shadowbanned.
Vice wrote an article about him: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wnj43x/gods-lonel...
Last we heard a year or so ago, he was homeless in Vegas after getting kicked out by his parents: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16105043

#19Genuinely curious about what other people think about this, but why do people think it's an acceptable excuse for formerly mentally healthy people making insanely offensive comments after they start suffering from a mental health issue? I truly feel compassion for those going through mental health issues, but is it possible that the people who become offensive after becoming mentally ill always thought these things b…

But FWIW, if someone thinks racist things but never speaks nor acts upon them, I'm not sure what it means to "accept" that or not; and I'm not sure how we could possibly know if they only came out because of schizophrenia or if schizophrenia triggered them in the first place. It all just seems to be kind of moot.
