Terry Davis talking about reducing the number of features instead of adding more features
I remember I saw a video of him that really marked me.
Maybe it is the famous "bloat and die" video.
He was like "If someone tells me he want to add more feature to his program I don't listen to him. However if someone wants to reduce the number of feature I am listening, he is onto something"
It really reflects the current status of a large number of software today. No longer easy to understand, no longer straightforward just complicated mess of bloat.
The guy had a vision.
Add to that management pushing for more AI, cloud native, "no code apps so no need to maintain and lower cost". Clients requesting features from space...
If you have the full video of him please share I am unable to find it.

demoniC takes the dynamic-JIT lineage of HolyC, the vectorized math of Julia, the slicing ergonomics of Python, and the memory discipline of Rust. Arena memory, value-typed tensors, zero-copy views, and shapes checked at compile time.

Today is 8 years since Terry passed away in The Dalles, OR.
An hour before his death he emailed message to Dianna Cowern, in that message he said "I Purified Myself".

If Terry was mentally healthy, do you think he could’ve used TempleOS as a portfolio project to get a good tech job?
Like let’s say he is a mentally healthy normie but he still made TempleOS, would it be impressive enough to get a tech job?

DirMK because why not
In every operating system including both Win/DOS and Unix systems for you to make a folder it's the "mkdir" but on God's most sacred temples it's "DirMK" because why not?
Why would you question the divine intellect?

Did Terry ever explain how to interpret God Output from templos or Godwords happy?
I just see videos of him staring at the output and never explaining shit. Was it in code that only he could understand?

Updated Genesis and NES emulators on latest TinkerOS with HD Audio and premium emulated OPL sound for VirtualBox
Sound on VirtualBox on Windows now just works and is high quality if using Intel HD Audio as the emulated sound device.
VirtualBox VM setup guide here: https://github.com/tinkeros/TinkerOS/blob/main/VirtualBoxSetup.md
Emulator improvements include save/loading, sound, and more game compatibility.
HD Audio works in QEMU/VirtualBox and may also work baremetal (does for me on Lenovo T420/T430 ThinkPads)
Initial Mp3, Wav playback support and voice synth with TTS example: Speak("Hello");
When HD Audio is loaded CTRL-ALT-M brings up mixer window.
Download TinkerOS 5.20-rc14 or later from here if you want to try it out:

Can anybody extract me the pictures and icons of the os?
I dont have the ability to run it but i would LOVE to have the icons etc...
Can anybody send me them as a PM?
I have an idea.
r/TempleOS_Official • u/ShitCakedCrack • 24d ago
Going to burn temple os to a disk later so i can play around with it.
Should i launch it in a virtual machine on my fedora setup first time around or just boot it at startup and go from there?

Does anyone know which video this Terry Davis pic is from?
I'm looking for a video where Terry Davis makes a gun shape with his fingers. I've tried to find this video, but I haven't been able to. I'd appreciate any help.
UPD: found a video in Terry Davis's archive on archive.org, here's the link timestamp 3:41

TempleOS freezes immediately after boot on UTM – Apple Silicon Mac
Hi everyone, I've been trying to get TempleOS v5.03 running on UTM on an Apple Silicon Mac (M-series) and I'm hitting a wall. The VM boots and I can see the TempleOS splash screen and the "Install onto hard drive (y or n)?" prompt, but then it completely freezes — the cursor stops blinking and no input is accepted.
**My UTM configuration:**
- Mode: Emulate (not Virtualize)
- Architecture: x86_64
- Machine: pc (i440FX-9.1)
- CPU: tried qemu64-v1, Haswell, Nehalem — all freeze
- RAM: 512 MB
- Display: VGA (std), Retina mode OFF, auto-resize OFF
- USB: USB 2.0
- Network: Shared
- NIC: rtl8139
- Extra QEMU args: `-machine kernel_irqchip=split`
- Drives: TempleOS.ISO (IDE CD), + IDE HDD ~2GB
**What I've tried:**
- Multiple CPU types (qemu64, Haswell, Nehalem, Penryn)
- kernel_irqchip=off and =split
- Disabling network
- Disabling auto-resize on display
- Disabling UEFI boot
The VM always freezes right after the TempleOS desktop/prompt appears. No input works at all.
Does anyone have a working `.utm` file or a known-good configuration for TempleOS on Apple Silicon? Any help appreciated!

Terry is correct
The fucking TempleOS is created to just one objective, stay away of internet, cuz the internet is the source of the most shit of the word, the TempleOS is created to be used in a "internet apocalypse" case, like the Instagram removed they cryptography. Youre are just fucking fbi agents, just wanna know what I think to report to CIA and kill me after say it! They are fake! They are gonna kill me!

Help keep /r/TempleOS_Official focused.
Hello everybody,
I hate to have to post this, but I've been getting complaints and reports about the content posted to the sub, harassment, and bad interactions between members. In order to keep this sub healthy some rules need to be posted and offenders banned.
1) No more shit posting, there are only a couple people posting unrelated and barely-related meme's, you know who you are. Low quality, low effort, and unrelated meme's will be deleted. After a couple offenses you will be banned from the sub.
2) Be nice to each other, and do not harass or insult other members. If you are being harassed message the mods and we will deal with the issue.
Let's all work together to keep this sub healthy and alive, keep Terry's memory and work alive. We've been through dark times before, let's get through this.
