Yeah, I did. Now, I use Linux. Normally stuff like this launched me into an existential crisis. "Oh, God, the stress! Why God!? My world has a MAJOR thing to worry about -- misleading people maybe or something like that."

I'm not quite as much a coward. I think I had good reason. Cowardess is not a virtue. God loved King David.

Damn, I look awful. Oh well. I've become a freak hermit-- don't know how to smile, anymore.

As much as I feel sorry for this guy, can't look past his racist rants :(

please do, they are certainly caused by his schizophrenia. In much the same way a Tourettes sufferer cannot control their compulsion to say inappropriate things.

Terry Davis has a mental illness, this isn't the proper forum to call attention to it.

> I am aware of a 70 core Knights Landing Intel CPU coming-out. That might be nice.

It seems that no matter who the programmer is, some constants remain: we like big numbers.

We can draw attention to interesting bits, like this page: http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Accts/TS/Wb2/TempleOS.html

Reading the usesthis page, I was intrigued by the fact the author uses Windows. Actually he tweeted about switching to Linux a few days ago: https://twitter.com/TempleOS/status/461423615582298112

I find also interesting that someone writing an OS is prevented running it natively by Secure-Boot.

That people with a mental illness can do stuff too? They use computers just like 'we' do? They can actually write OS' so it might be interesting to see what he uses to get his stuff done?

I'm actually a bit underwhelmed since I'm more interested in the actual tools he uses to build TempleOS.
