I feel like I'm missing context.

2018-09-29 05:13:12 UTC  

i think it would be more informational to look at the differences between HolyC and C

2018-09-29 05:13:27 UTC  

but this OS does look like no small amount of work went into it

2018-09-29 05:13:45 UTC  

Oh, you're talking about TempleOS still.

2018-09-29 05:15:38 UTC  

I find it fascinating how source code assets can be linked, retroactively updated, and stored directly in the file

2018-09-29 05:24:39 UTC  

not a fan of: no main function, top level scope is your main loop

2018-09-29 05:24:52 UTC  

Is there any chance of the GNU project moving to this from the Linux kernel?

2018-09-29 05:24:55 UTC  

also not a fan of JIT compiling

2018-09-29 05:25:24 UTC  

GNU doesnt have a distro

2018-09-29 05:26:01 UTC  

linux distro devs put GNU on Linux, not GNU

2018-09-29 05:26:31 UTC  

Mmm. I'm not saavy with this kind of shit. I thought it was the other way around.

2018-09-29 05:27:11 UTC  

bet u thought it was GNU/Linux

2018-09-29 05:27:20 UTC  

I actually did.

2018-09-29 05:27:39 UTC  

So really it's more Linux/GNU?

2018-09-29 05:27:42 UTC  

only if you consider a c compiler and a text editor to be an operating system

2018-09-29 05:28:06 UTC  

I thought GNU also encompassed GNOME and other things.

2018-09-29 05:28:08 UTC  

hm more or less ya

2018-09-29 05:28:21 UTC  

yes some distros use gnome

2018-09-29 05:28:33 UTC  

but gnu nor gnome have a native distro

2018-09-29 05:28:48 UTC  

That makes sense.

2018-09-29 05:29:55 UTC  

GNU was supposed to be an OS but they couldnt finish a kernel in 10 years

2018-09-29 05:30:39 UTC  

RMS had some autistic idea for a really complex kernel made of multiple programs, but says Linus got his made faster because he went with the traditional way of writing 1 program to do the job

2018-09-29 05:31:48 UTC  

So in the end, Linus decides to write an OS, and sees some helpful tools in the GNU project and uses them

2018-09-29 05:32:05 UTC  

Isn't saying that RMS is autistic rather redundant?

2018-09-29 05:32:29 UTC  

programmers love redundancies and recursion

2018-09-29 05:32:38 UTC  

PowerISA fully unpacked means

2018-09-29 05:32:43 UTC  

Performance Optimized With Enhanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer Instruction Set Architecture

2018-09-29 05:33:12 UTC  

Who the fuck even uses POWER anymore?

2018-09-29 05:34:56 UTC  

Look at this fucker.

2018-09-29 05:35:05 UTC  

Is this not the face of autism?

2018-09-29 05:36:40 UTC  

that fucking gringo accent, man lol

2018-09-29 05:37:30 UTC  

Stallman only calls computer programmers "hackers" because he'd prefer to see them programming for free

We live in the age of patreon.

2018-09-29 05:38:15 UTC  

There's no reason for anybody to work for free if they don't want to, even if they want to contribute to free projects.

2018-09-29 05:39:08 UTC  

my goal in open source is to take and give nothing back <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-09-29 05:39:20 UTC  

why code for Google and Microsoft, for free?
