#12"So now we're gonna put colors in. North America should be red, like Native Americans, [...] Asia should be yellow, [...] and Africa should be black."
Why did you leave out the parts that are inconvenient to the narrative you're making up? "Europe should be blue" - is that racist? I guess the technical achievement means nothing. Where is your certificate of political correctness? Why is it socially acceptable to bully like this?
Turn on "Show dead" and visit https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS
Even if this particular case wasn't racist it's easy to understand why things Davis says could be interpreted as such.

#13This is a feature I'd actually really like to have in an actual terminal. The ability to display graphics would be useful for many things.

There are several that do it, this article mentions a few and shows how to do it in xterm.

Not mentioned in that article, there's also Terminology, which can display all sorts of dynamic media and things.

What's the point of bringing it up, though? How is that relevant to a technical video like this one?
Furthermore, how is it fair to put the things he says under the same scrutiny as a person who doesn't have schizophrenia?

#16TempleOS rocks, indeed. Amazing work. And in a very small codebase.

Okay, Terminus looks pretty good. I wish rxvt could do this, too. Thanks for those links.

#20Has Davis ever explained why he believes that his operating system is a holy relic, an artifact particularly close to God? And if so, which part of it is holy - the contents of the filesystem, the state of the runtime, or both?
