Programmer, musician, and artist Terry A. Davis. Creator of his own TempleOS, he built a cult following off of his live streams of the creation of the operating system on his Youtube channel. He struggled with many mental health issues, including severe schizophrenic delusions, which were apparent in his live streams as he often went off on rants about being surveillance by government figures, his delusions of grandeur, and religious preachings. Died in a car accident on August 11, 2018. <a href

Quotes

• “An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity.”
• “What people are going to read is, "It's about a pathetic schizophrenic who made a crappy operating system." My perspective is, "God said I made His temple."”
• “So, someone wanted to know what I use Ubuntu for. I use it to download VMware to run TempleOS. What do you use Internet Explorer for? You use Internet Explorer to download Firefox. There you have it.”
• “The CIA niggers glow in the dark, you can see 'em if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do. Fucking CIA niggers!”
• “When I fight Satan, I use the sharpest knives I can find. I ain't shedding no tears cause you don't like "nagger".”
• “Hell no, I'm a white man, I wrote my own fucking compiler. I'm not a nigger like Linus, I'm a professional!”
