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.

    Man, it’s surreal finding this post having just recently learned about TemplOS from an awesome YouTube video by Fredrik Knudsen - Down the rabbit hole series.
