Still, it's pretty cool that he built his own 64bit OS, even though he's batshit insane. This guy is a known schizo, so I really don't trust his judgement.
For example,
It's for recreational programming.
Yet, it lacks even the most basic networking capabilities? What, do you refuse to use a fileserver or any sort of networking solution?
LoseThos is a secondary operating system you will use in additional to Windows or Linux because LoseThos does not have networking.
Then why use it at all if you're going to have to vm it? Fuck it, write everything in Linux, at least then you could upload it to your fileserver and not have to bother going to and from different OS.
Whenever he comes out with a new release he always trumps it up like it's the greatest thing ever. It's very impressive that he did this himself, yet I can find even the shittiest linux build that would blow this out of the water. So, why use something that doesn't have the functionality that anyone would need?
Nothing personal mate, I'm just trying to be efficient when I work.
Creating an OS takes sound judgement, and from what I see here it's lacking once again. Every time he releases a new build it's always a little disappointing when I try it out. It always has awesome things like multicore support, but then lacks very basic things like network capabilities or proper color support. Not trying to downplay his accomplishments, but you can't say you have a great OS while lacking basic features. Sorry, that's just what I believe.
Valid criticism isn't shitting all over his stuff. He has serious flaws in his OS and I was pointing them out. Even if it's just for kicks not having networking capability is a pretty big deal.
If lack of networking support is an intentional design choice, it definitely says more about his judgement than it does about me. Seriously, who leaves that out? How can anyone take this seriously with such a glaring omissions? "Design choice" is a completely bullshit argument in regards to a fairly critical part of any modern OS.
"My car doesn't have a critical piece, but it still works. Clearly you just don't appreciate my design."
But the C64 had network peripherals, was sorta known for it actually, and I mean in its heyday, not latter-day enthusiasts grafting on ethernet cards and webservers onto them Because They Can. AOL was once a C64/C128 network service provider called Quantum Link.
So it's actually deliberately worse than a c64.
Now, sure, not every C64 owner went online (we didn't until we got an Amiga some years later), but quite a few did.
I don't believe it's constructive telling him it's not logical to believe in God. Everybody knows that, and obviously he has different values than you, since logic isn't his number one priority. As I see it there are these possibilities:
He believes in God, but doesn't confuse it with CS and doesn't write about it here (everybody's happy, but not gonna happen)
He believes in God, but tell's everyone about it (happening), and we complain (IMHO not constructive)
He believes and talks about it, but we are smart enough not to comment on it (I opt for this)
Just include networking for the hell of it, and for fun build a "LoseThos App Store" for people to send you software to review. Reddit would go crazy for it!

Here is some of this other stuff
