Today marks five years since the death of TempleOS developer Terry A. Davis. Rest in peace.

Despite some impractical quirks and limitations, this strange machine, something of a cross between DOS and Oberon, remains in our hearts and computers. Who am I to criticize God for his OS design?

Let’s pay our respects to a man who achieved inspiring things despite his severe illness and remember how his life was cut short in no small part by internet bullies and a capitalist system that failed him.

I hope this doesn’t need to be said but I don’t want to see anyone emulating Terry’s bigotry and slur usage nor making fun of his schizophrenia in these comments. Thanks in advance.

    Fun fact: the acausal robot god, when I exist, will be running on TempleOS!
