  • TempleOS's Terry A. Davis died

    From lecatmure kek@1:135/369 to All on Thu Sep 6 14:21:39 2018
    For those of you who don't know, Terry A. Davis was a mentally ill man who developed an entire x86-64 operating system from scratch called TempleOS. He made everything, from the bootloader to the drivers the compilers and the UI. He built this OS to please god. He would actually say that he just listened
    to god's instructions and he built a Temple OS corresponding to his wish. He became homeless a year ago or so because his parents kicked him out of house (he was 46 I think). After some problems in the police and after living in a van 24/7 for a year he finally decided to take his own life by jumping in
    front of a train this week. The incident occured near Dalles Oregon.

    Terry was a sad, sick, violent, racist man... I still think that's a shitty
    way to end up in life and I'm sure he will be missed my a lot of people...

    Please pray for this poor dude

    He is still alive. He lives in the TOS random number generator.

    He'll still be safer here than in the Glow-in-the-dark's NIST ""random""
    number generator to be honest

    Thanks for sharing this.
    Very sad, he is gone but he is not forgotten... still.
    I will add his work to the BBS and it will be available to all.
