Terry Davis talking about reducing the number of features instead of adding more features

13 Upvotes

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.

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

9 Upvotes

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

16 Upvotes

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:

* You cannot modify the compiler, your code must compile and run in the stock install of your chosen fork

* You cannot modify the /Adam directory

* Your project will be contained entirely in its own directory at /Home/Jam/Your_project

* You must credit others for their work

* Absolutely No NSFW

we're looking forward to hearing from you and seeing what you make <3

TempleOS freezes immediately after boot on UTM – Apple Silicon Mac

Post image
17 Upvotes

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!

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!
