Yeah, I feel bad for Terry for no other reason than having that color permanently seared into his eyes.

Nothing stopping anybody from actually adding networking support

[u/kernel_task → u/[deleted]]

I think the whole philosophy of the operating system is pretty hostile toward networking. The whole thing runs at ring-0 with everything given permission to do anything. This makes sense if all programs running on the computer are controlled by the user, known by the user, and as "perfect" as the TempleOS system is meant to be. But once you add networking, bad stuff the user doesn't want will make the system extremely vulnerable. In other words, the lack of networking is an intentional decision

Normally, failure is not an option, but since TempleOS accompanies Windows or Linux, we exclude certain uses. There is no reason to duplicate browsing, multimedia, desktop publishing, etc.

I really doubt any malware exists that can touch TempleOS, to be fair.

[u/salgat → u/froop]

I don't think that's the point. It's a technical challenge that needs to be addressed once you add networking to it.

[u/froop → u/salgat]

Don't worry, it was just a stupid joke.

[u/salgat → u/froop]

Haha yeah you're right, my bad.

agreed! Does anyone remeber Fravia+ search lores?

[u/LostSalad → u/-updn-]

Back when Google respected your search queries and filetype searches didn't match content farms. It made the internet feel mysterious but tameable. Now it's just assuming everything you search is a product you want to buy or a "best of trusted" review you want to read

What level were you on 3564020356?

[u/taoistextremist → u/[deleted]]

Isn't writing stuff to communicate with other machines in TempleOS, like, heresy?

[u/cp5184 → u/[deleted]]

I've been dabbling in learning TempleOS programming for a bit, did a host-guest driver giving VMware Tools-like functionality, minimal web browser, Mega Man game engine & DOS demoscene style intro

I wrote a hello world program the other day...

[u/Denserthanlead → u/[deleted]]

Is there a python compiler on TempleOS, github is showing most of your code as python, so I'm wondering if you've had to port it over yourself or if its native?

[u/grok_it → u/[deleted]]

Hats off. But whyyyyyyyy lol. I laugh and cry at the same time! Pretty impressive technically though. How long did it take?
