#142That's quite cool, visually pleasing to the eye and high on data usage.

#143What a twist, having textual window manager within a graphical user interface, and that textual window manager implementing bits of graphics.
You'll soon may be able to implement overlapping graphics windows in TUI within GUI.
This is stupid af.

#145This is pure Hollywood OS - hackers feverishly entering obscure incantations like “upload virus”…but now with the terminal twisted into a Moebius strip!

Still giving me goosebumps

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...
> Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. 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.
The inspiration may have been all "crazy" but the implementation was still really neat, and it takes a lot of effort and skill to get to the point he did before his death. The thing about people who lose touch with reality is that their efforts to create or express something often make no sense to the rest of us. TempleOS, however, works. Terry create an OS from scratch, an entire new language (or variant of a language) in the form of HolyC, and not only does it all work together in a way that requires no disconnect from reality, it works well for his goals and philosophy.
The entire thing may be the result of a person suffering from schizoaffective disorder, but that person still held a great deal of skill to implement that idea and enough of a touch with the reality of computer hardware to make it happen.

#149Cool.
Seriously, though, when are we going to see the convergence of terminals and GUI remoting protocols? People have already departed far from Unix pipeline utilities. "TUI" programs are already GUIs in disguise. Why keep pretending that the terminal (as used by TUI programs) is a different kind of thing?

#150People complain about token limits Then spend their tokens on abominations like this Make it make sense
People use their tokens, and then complain of limits. Where's the incongruity?
