did he come up with the idea for kerbal space program and flappy bird, or are the games he made knockoffs?

I went through the posted links and read comments accompanying the linked clips. So I'll copy/ paste part of a comment ;

"The TempleOS can be used in any sector of society, industry, on any machine and works with any arquitecture having the capability to power and run entire sectors, countries and continents but keeping humanity in control of the machines!, without the human species loose controll to the machines and to the artificial intelligence! With TempleOS it is impossible for the machines and for the elites with the AI to become omnipotent, simply because it is impossible to control a system that is completely open and hackable with ring-0 only (working directly in kernel with machine code!). This a completely revolutionary and visionary way that reinvents the Art of Programming in Computer Sience!

It is a 64-bit 2Megabyte only Operating System, non-preemptive multi-tasking, multi-cored, it supports 256 Gig of RAM or more! It is public domain, open source, ring-0 only, single address space, no network capabilities, no cloud computing, no USB, therefore immune to any cyber attack, virus or hacking, 100% secure, and it is completely open source in every way with graphics running in source code with 2D and 3D graphics library and it has his own file system, RedSea file system! All of this and much more only in a 2 MegaBytes distro made by one simple man alone!"

Anyone care to respond to any of this ??. Society Elites Control and this OS ??.

Really interesting how many aspects of his spiritualism resembled pagan ideas. One being, for example, a man-divine reciprocal relationship.

His disdain for the safety and fear of danger of the modern world is also really appealing. I guess many of his thoughts will appeal to like minded people.

He said that war is good, necessary. He said that it is the cleanser.

One cannot overlook his advocacy for the rule of the King. Or him valueing mom&pop's over giantic corps.

He said the world was perfectly just, while also advocating a culling. I think that this is a way to say that we are actors in the making of justice.

And of course his racialism. He said god wanted his creations to glory, an in that way glorify him. And so he said that different races had different glories, and have to live away.

He wanted to organize a militia, his templars. I would have wanted to see where it went. Perhaps it could have developed as an actual purger.

He started as lolberg, a capitalist for big corps, and an atheist, but later changed into a much more nationalist, "socialist" (in reality fascist) outlook.

FuckBitchesGetMaga ago

This made me really sad to read. I liked that guy a lot, I didn't even know he died. Reading this I realized I have a lot more in common with him than I realized. I asked him a question on YouTube one time and he said "CIA nigger faggot" and that was it. I'm glad I got to have that interaction while I could. He was too good for this world.

Hirion ago

Lmao, his website wa static. He didn't even have a backend. While his templeOS was useless and lacked basic functionality. All it had was some old-ass games, e. g. Tetris, and the dude spend half of his life building it. The only reason everyone talks about him is because he loved the N-word and was insane. I feel bad for the guy nonetheless, rip.

Hirion ago

So his os was written in holyC. What the actual fuck?

"How can you defend the niggers? Niggers are the peoblem."

Now I know why he's being mentioned here xD. Intelligent guy who just went insanse at some point and ruined his life.

This is a really good article...

Davis made many claims in the thread, such as the CIA were to blame for the lack of innovation for OS design. Claiming he missed his chance because his OS didn’t have a backdoor and the CIA wouldn’t allow it to become mainstream.

That part could have some truth to that. :/

If you have ever seen some of his writings parts of it look very very suspicous... Like the admiration for the IRA and other themes.

Sometimes he looks like a loony tragic character and sometimes you have to wonder.

But technical subjects usually make sense, loosely.

Aprioned ago

That part could have some truth to that. :/

Certainly a hint of truth to it, but realistically this OS wouldn't have taken off anyway as it uses Ring 0 to operate, that would be hard to write drivers and applications for.

justlogin ago

What if... TempleOS was some kind of honeypot, and being useless was part of the point? If it was some kind of honeypot they didn't expect so many pranksters crashing the party! Maybe TAD just became that class clown who picked his nose and ate it.

I for one would like to watch the stream that the elephant quote came from and know more about how the graphics worked, whatever the case.

Because dumbasses look to him as validation for their own prejudice/simple-mindedness - and he talks about things most of them don't understand.. so they automatically assume he's a genius

Davis wrote an entire operating system from scratch, all by himself. That's a gargantuan task.

speedisavirus ago

Not really. I wrote an operating system in a semester in college. If you put all of the various classes I have taken and put those efforts to the same goal my OS would have been better than his garbage shitty OS.

You're simply, objectively wrong.

ThinkAboutIt1488 ago

Everyone in computer science writes a compiler. Usually spend about a week or two on it, maybe 20 hours? Of course the compiler usually only has basic expressions, control statements and for loops and functions.

felisgoodman ago

this. However, if you're in cs undergrad, chances are you only wrote a parser, or at best a transpiler. There is a good chance if you took more involved courses you may have fucked around with LEX/YACC and done some TAC stuff.

I love this OS, but I hate the tards that think "this is fringe os, must be best os"... I even had some chromosome farmer try to claim that templeOS could be used for IoT devices.

prairie ago

At best it's a rough sketch of an OS. A real OS has to do far, far, far more than boot on a PC and sort of provide some services. There's a lot that goes into design of all the components in one, and trade-offs between the different uses that will be made and benefits different design approaches have.

Assuming it wasn't a total rat's-nest of code and didn't involve a big amount of duplication of code, it would serve as a good basis for experimentation by OS hobbyists, especially given its lack of memory protection.

felisgoodman ago

I don't know a lot about this os, but TAD was a genuinely talented programmer. I think that there's a more than decent chance that the code wasn't a rats-nest.

But you are right. It's at best a rough sketch. Still a massive accomplishment

prairie ago

A lot of software developers would benefit from doing something like this, if only to see the value of stable interfaces and specifications, clear delineation of responsibilities of different parts of the systems, isolation boundaries, etc.

felisgoodman ago

that's a very good point.

ThinkAboutIt1488 ago

yeah undergrad => fsm tokenizer, parse tree, risc assembler so yeah probably more than 2 weeks... as the course material.

chrimony ago

He didn't just write a compiler. He wrote all the code to boot a PC and be able to run the compiler, edit code, and lots of other stuff.

captainstrange ago

the key traits for monarch test subjects are

  1. high levels of introversion and social anxiety, this makes the subject easily pliable and influenceable with or without hypnosis.

  2. conscientiousness and neuroticism, a follower mentality, for obvious reasons

  3. a parent or family in a three letter agency, for clearance reasons. someone close to them to monitor and handle the subject.

  4. preferably a military background

  5. history of early childhood trauma

I don't know about that, but maybe.

He was taken too soon. He taught me that no matter how good I get, I will still only be programming like a nigger, until I write my own compiler, like a white man. Someday, Terry! Some day...

He wasn't taken soon enough. If he was there wouldn't be gigabytes of video with him jerking off on camera crying to porn.

IIRC, schizophrenic symptoms are caused by the atrophy of the temporal lobe. The exact mechanisms are still up for debate but it's a mix of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Certain flus and cat parasites have been shown to have a strong correlation.

However things would get worse, by May Terry believed his was in psychic communication with Elon Musk and General James N. Mattis designing new features for TempleOS. At one point even believing that Dianna had cheated on him with Elon Musk himself.

By August of that year Terrys ability to focus on one thing and speak properly had diminished. His speech was slurred and his general appearance and health had deteriorated.

JimSoddell ago

Terry believed his was in psychic communication with Elon Musk

I have no doubt this is true given Musk's recent behavior. They are like long lost twins.

Recompiling the kernel is UNIX tradition and it is normal to seek understanding of your infrastructure.

TheTrigger ago

Scary awesome. Embrace it, man. I honestly think that a lot of shit that people perceive as "mental illness," is just the brain rejecting artificial programming. I'm not talking about trannies; but more like, "being anti-semitic and knowing there are only two genders is not a mental illness." Davies most-certainly had mental problems, but he was an extreme. Being passionate about things that people think are weird is nothing to be ashamed of. Neither is calling stupid people "niggers."

I never bothered to try and figure out what the guy on the other line was saying. Someone in the comments posted a transcript, and it makes the clip that much better,

"You wrote a port of GCC?"
"You wrote a frontend for GCC, right?" x2
"No no no no no. Your compiler, you know? The frontend GCC port."
"OK so you ported GCC, congratulations."
"It's GCC."
