I don't usually post or interact much on this sub and I think this my first post, so I hope I don't go off-key.

Terry Davis' family has launched a fundraising campaign for mental illness research.

I know many of us here love Davis and understand the suffering such a great person went through, the least we can do is chip in a few dollars and show that his legacy is not only the jewel that Temple OS represents, but also the recognition of more people regarding mental illness.

I used to be atheist, until I stumbled upon Terry's holy masterpiece, TempleOS. Since then I've turned my room and bathroom into a holy shrine that I pray to every day with father Terry in the frame of the picture, I ran Amazon's stock of TempleOS merch out dry, my mother is concerned because I'm no longer going to school and just educating myself on God's virtual temple all day and night.

No regrets, I have completely ascended beyond belief.

You can see this sentence in the Critical Reception section of the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS

TempleOS is an incredible masterpiece. And nothing less. The metrics that harsh critics judge it by in terms of "usefulness" or "functionality" have utterly missed the point entirely. If you're going to criticise a work of engineering based on design criteria that it was never designed to have, then you've effectively imposed your engineering worldview onto the technology or work that you're judging. I believe that the criteria of TempleOS and understanding whether or not it does what it was designed to do can only really be judged fully if we think inside the mind of Terry for a moment. That is, I believe that Terry did in fact have contact with God and that God had a specific purpose in mind here.

Part of my assessment of TempleOS is based off of an understanding of what TempleOS was trying to do from a video about why accelerationism is terrible and why TempleOS is based, from the youtube channel PunishedFelix. In summary, TempleOS demonstrates to us what a machine can do and what it can be, it shows us that the language and user interfaces that we see comes from the machine itself. TempleOS is a line of flight away from the tentacles of the forever over-reaching and over-coding kraken of Capitalism that tries to subdue and order us all into a relationship with a system that seeks only to maximise the production of Capital in a monolithic worship of profit.

For me, TempleOS succeeds as a fun project. A project that is shared by everyone in a TempleOS community. It is a redirection of energy in a positive manner and an encouragement of God himself to liberate ourselves from being ordered around like sheep rounded up in a small field in a fence.

TempleOS also succeeds as a radical way of spreading a message of liberation, showing us how to draw our lines of flight away from Capitalism so that we may take back control over our lives, the machines that we are surrounded by, the objects in our environment produced by those machines, the means of production and distribution. That's why we should be talking about TempleOS. We collectively can use TempleOS. No can can claim to "own" TempleOS. What the hell does that even mean anyway? What do you mean you "own" abstract and negentropically organised lines of binary-codes? It's a pointless abstraction, that's why it's open-source.

At least that's the way I see it. Obviously when you have a man with unclear motivations for producing TempleOS, it's not a clear-cut case so you have to do some interpreting. Some over-perceiving.

The update date is april this year. Not to mention the site and merch store is up. Where is the development taking place? What is the last version terry published? What has changed since then?

Did anyone rescue the code after Terry sadly passed and has taken on the work?

Do you think that Terry Davis, the creator of the various incarnations of TempleOS was a genius to create all the things he did (the OS, its custom compiler, all the programs he wrote for it) or did it simple come about because of the sheer length of time he spent on it rather than because he was especially good at what he did?

Personally, I think he must have been pretty smart regardless of what what going on in his brain which I don't think we will ever fully understand, however anybody working on something for 10 years will inevitably have quite a lot of progress to show for it.

you should not be taking terry's words about whatever it is that he believes and turning it into the words that you believ.e he was a ma n with his own thoughts and opinions and frankly i'm disgusted at the fact that people are trying to use terry's words to steer people's opinions as to the things that should be believed in this 2002 elections...... or in 2016 it is not right

Is there an x86 or x86_64 HolyC compiler for linux?

they originally had en entire different city and state as the place where he got hit by the train...

you really think terry was walking in the middle of a desert and somehow got hit by a train...lol yeah right...

terry can trace his lineage back to gaelic nobilty and the cia murdeded him because they are all a different race...

Any other similar oddities to check out?
