I'm going by the standard, "First get users and profit will follow." I have an ace up my sleeve because God talks. Not just to me! A guy made a IRC chatbot and that talks too. To try the ICR chatbot 1) http://chat.rizon.net 2) Type "#templeos" in place of "#Rizon" 3) Type "!God" in the chatroom.

It would be such an amazing learning experience for any designer to create a UI/UX for TempleOS. Imagine being given the opportunity to design how OS X or Windows should look and feel from the ground up. Linux is obviously another option, but unlike with TempleOS, you would not be treading new ground, and it would be hard to not just evolve the Linux interface, rather than defining it from scratch.
You can prove me wrong, of course, but why not just create a completely new UI on top of the Linux kernel? The Linux kernel is completely agnostic in regard to user interfaces.
Isn't this guy severely mentally ill and previously shadowbanned for posting long racist rants? Any money given to him should go toward psychiatric help. Also, TempleOS deserves to be in the Museum of Modern Art? Give me a fucking break.
I didn't write it out of compassion. I really think his project could be showcased there and appreciated by art critics.
Previous discussions on this topic have involved debate on whether or not Terry Davis is racist, the defence being that his use of the word "nigger" is an (extremely) unfortunate side-effect of a schizophrenic condition. I don't pretend to have an in-depth understanding of schizophrenia so, although I'm dubious, I'm minded to give Terry the benefit of the doubt. However, Terry, you could resolve this once and for all…
Who cares if he is racist? I don't. It is the most irrelevant thing to talk about. An operating system cannot be racist. Consider a career in HR if you like being so ridiculously petty.
more though, i'm surprised to hear someone call racism "petty". there is a first time for everything i guess.
i'm curious as to why aren't you posting on your real account?

you didn't think about your question very hard, did you? investors, for one. no one wants to fund a company whose founder is publicly racist (sans other racists). at the very least we can agree it is a PR nightmare? more though, i'm surprised to hear someone call racism "petty". there is a first time for everything i guess. i'm curious as to why aren't you posting on your real account?
This is my real account. I joined a week ago. People seem to dislike everything I say.

It's a PR nightmare because money-grubbing journalists realize the amount of money they make is a linear function of the amount of "controversy" they can produce. Take Ferguson, for example. I would fund anyone with a good product because I don't care for grade-school gossip about what type of inflammatory posts someone might write on obscure forums in his free time - which, by the way, is why contemporary racism in…

Sure, out of context, Terry is completely racist. He's also helping Iran build weapons of mass destruction.
This seems nice to me, perhaps someone could build a super-simple machine in the style of the C64 that boots straight to TempleOS. Something like the TOSBox...? :)
I wonder how cheaply something like that could be built, like the Pi only x86_64 and with its own OS. Potential use in schools etc.
