  1.  @danielhavoc889  trust me, the phobes would phobe even if every LGBT+ person were a perfect angel. It's okay to want improvement for improvement's sake.

  2. AFAIK he made a compiler first, and then built a simple OS to run the compiler. All TempleOS does is run the compiler and whatever the compiler calls.

  3. It's called journalistic integrity. Prejudice is cheap and useless, but real actions are very valuable.

  4. It lets you do anything. Just type some lines to call the system to delete itself, and then compile.

  5. It's a tool of harassment. If I made everyone I knew call you a toaster every day for the rest of your life, it would be similar.

  6. I see it as just a version of BASIC that uses a compiler instead of an interpreter. It's what the 16-bit era should have been.

  7. Java running away

  8.  @highadmiraljt5853  Fine, UNIX-like system

  9. Sure, but if you'll do a bad thing for a good reason, you'll do it for a bad one.

  11. But it isn't hidden. It's all done in plain sight, in hardware.

  13. I'm pretty sure most people only view Keffals through other people reacting, and reactors view clips at 1.5x speed.

  14. Simpler. This thing uses a compiled language for its shell, so everything runs on the metal.

  15. I would actually love to see some of the TOS concepts in a more modern form. A BASIC-style shell but built for the age of compilers, quick hardware access and user-editable software, a programming language that takes advantage of bitmap technology, I would love to see these ideas in practice on a Linux-style system. Imagine what you could do with something like this if it had multitasking, dynamic displays, containerization, and support for pre-compiled binaries in general.

  16. It would have to run both DOS/NT and UNIX executables. They're labeled completely differently (if you tried to open a .exe on UNIX, it would either think it's a folder or try to open it as text, and if you tried to run a UNIX binary on Windows, it would ask what program is supposed to open it), which means the OS would have to detect both file flags and extensions, or everything would have to be made to open as a binary from a menu.

  17. Or maybe because once you get to resolutions higher than that, it's difficult for the end user to directly access the VRAM.

  18. I use Linux on the daily, and I trash-talk it occasionally. It's overly monolithic, it has a RAM minimum for no reason, and it's really hard to get into kernel space.

  19. And then Apple did it, in a way that made it so restrictive that it enforced grammar rules with its compiler.

  20. Probably also for not being a communist. Keffals is more of a socdem than a communist.

  21. The X protocol requires that all inputs go through a server, rather than just giving programs the ability to write directly to the screen. This means that the OS needs a piece of software capable of rendering every single thing given to it, constantly. And that means that to maintain compatibility, the server has to include a lot of optimizations to keep graphics operations relatively simple. Then, to make it so anyone can actually write X programs, a big library had to be written on top of the server protocol so that applications could do things like window reparenting and drawing in basic shapes. Then, because interfaces got complicated, more libraries had to be written on top of that. This all piles up pretty quickly.

  22. It's either the least creative community ever or they hack into your computer and publish the names of all the programs on your computer

  23. All it has to do is copy and paste itself into storage. The OS has no encryption, no real file formatting, and no dynamic configuration.

  24. Reminds me of Haskell

  25.  @mythos5202  I bet he could have tried tho. I think he would have tried.

  26. He would port Dwarf Fortress over as a HolyC library, and make the user play it from the shell.

  27. @Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach Text-file programming has been a standard in computing since the late 60s. In most computers, everything from programs to images are, at their core, text files. The only thing making them different is how you open them.

  28.  @spok_real  and there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone should have the chance to do that if they so feel.
