#132The question is - why do we still need the terminal abstraction at all?
That’s what I came here to ask. Their demo looks like Compiz back in the day: ok, cool, you have 3d effects, but… why? What does it do for me? Compiz 3d effects were ultimately a useless gimmick and I predict this is too.
Lack of imagination doesn't mean this isn't innovation.
It's the ability to convey more information in less space.
Top-of-my-head notion: The cursor spins (or changes in another way) to reflect CPU use, or bandwidth use, instead of taking up space elsewhere on the screen.

#133Make me think of the infamous Unix scene in Jurassic Park.
That was an actual file manager if you didn't know, it was called FSN. Theres a FOSS clone called FSV[0]

It's not hypocrisy when different people do different things.

#135This is pure Hollywood OS - hackers feverishly entering obscure incantations like “upload virus”…but now with the terminal twisted into a Moebius strip!

So TempleOS was ahead of its time!

Terry A Davis already did this. It was as crazy then as it is now
Obligatory Temple OS unhinged video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o48KzPa42_o Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...

At what point do you consider he had "gone crazy" relative to the development of TempleOS? Only when he committed suicide? Shortly before then? Last ____ years of his life?
Without trying to sound insensitive, I'd personally argue the entire OS was the byproduct of a "crazy" individual.
