jontron can make shit like this in a video (no this is not edited), have 3 million views and get away with it, somehow not causing any controversy or widespread twitter meltdown.

I worry that ordinary people are treating technology more and more like magic, not giving any thought to the massive conglomerates doing all sorts of nonsense behind the scenes, and not understanding that it doesn't have to be like this. Computers aren't magic, they bleed, they can be destroyed!

Had an argument with parents the other day at the dinner table about climate change fear porn. They didn't seem to understand that fear porn about climate change was both a method of control and was a factor in creating a generation of lazy neet stoners who think the world will end tomorrow so why should I try?

Happy 4th of July!

Little reminder that even though there is little to be proud of in this country today, you can still celebrate what it was founded on, the true america. Something worth celebrating.

Take it easy today (if you can), eat some good food, and blow some stuff up (with fireworks)!

>make a minor fork of TempleOS
>censor the words of Terry
>cry about people making genuine software for TempleOS because of OHNONONONOONO THE NIGGER WORD!!!!
Modifying the word of Terry is more than just "cleaning up comments". Every line of the canonical TempleOS release is Terry. He speaks to you through his documentation, his code, and his comments. The +NIGGER license was created to protect the word of Terry. Terry would have been banned from this subleddit. After his death people want to create revisionist history. They want to separate Terry from his schizophrenia, from his language, but they cannot be separated. Without Terry's schizophrenia or whatever else TempleOS would simply not exist.

Nevermind Terry's intent with TempleOS was a platform for people to make games close to the hardware, like a modern C64. The phrase "make games, don't play them" is littered throughout. Meanwhile most people just want to fuck around with random OS stuff. Alec Murphy is the only real TempleOS dev worth mentioning. Not even ZealOS is all that interesting. Alec Murphy was able to integrated AC97 and SVGA graphics on top of TempleOS without touching the system code.

When will you learn that Microsoft doesn't "change." It just lies in wait until the time is right.

I really hate level design, but I swore to never do procedural generation due to the over-saturation of roguelike/roguelite indie games out there.
