Who wants to invest in TempleOS?

I have an ace up my sleeve because God talks.

Potential investors are not going to be impressed by this kind of statement.

zak_mc_kracken is a nigger.

Did he run out of money or something?
I can't imagine anyone investing in him in any non-joke way.

In the interest of working out the idea generating part of my brain, here are some ideas for making money with TempleOS:

1) Make TempleOS the ultimate platform for doing "live preaching" at megachurches. Use it to talk to God directly in front of the faithful on a big projection screen.

2) Use it to take confessions. No network stack ensures privacy.

3) Make interactive Bible teaching games on it. No network stacks will block out temptations of the internet

4) It could be the basis for a spiritual fit bit where one could track one's faithfulness to the Lord on a daily basis. No network connectivity ensures that the information remains between the believer and The Lord.

5) Make a portable alter to a saint and/or the Virgin Mary at the push of a button that the believer can pray to. It could be running in a picture frame in the corner of one's house as an altar to the lord.

6) Possibly allow for virtual burnt offerings, peace offerings and sin offerings In the altar application. It is a temple after all.

7) Use sensor technology to somehow detect sin such as visiting the part of town known to be the dwelling place of harlots (e.g adult entertainment businesses) and pester the believer to confess and ask for forgiveness from god. This could be rolled up into the spiritual fit bit thing mentioned earlier.

8) TempleOS could bring back the old school non internet connected PDA. It could be the holy Palm Pilot platform. With all the sin online and paranoia about NSA spying it would make the perfect gift for one's fundamentalist Christian relatives. I could actually see this selling to religious folks and compulsive gadget collectors if it was priced less than about $50.

I like how he tries to use ``doesn't have a network stack'' as a selling point, as if it's a good thing

It can be a shocking realization if you have grown up thinking of computers as terminals to connect you to your favorite BBS, but not all operating systems need networking.

>>6
I don't think anyone wants to interface with le clowd SaaS SocialApps. But the computer is definitely a way to connect me to my favorite shitposting boards. Even in the unlikely event that I do one day actually finish a non-trivial programming project, what would I do with it if not show it off to you guys, my best friends?

>>8
Your favorite shitposting boards, including this one, are cloud SaaS social apps.

So what's the difference between TempleOS and LoseThos?

>>11
They're the same thing. He changed the name.

You mean Cloudsourced Scalable Enterprise-Grade Shitpost-As-A-Service Solutions that Synergizes Distributed Control Architectures, Realizing a Concurrent Paradigm Shift to a Reduced Social Complexity of Reconfigurable, Anonymous Fault-Tolerant Supply-Chain-Agnostic Information Frameworks.

LoseThos is the prior version of TempleOS from about a year ago.

Your computer is a universe keeper, a sacred place that lets you create universes. It lets you experience truth in its purest, rawest form, it lets you create and explore universes with impunity. It is the vehicle that lets you transcend a banal animal existence and experience divinity.

Because the people demand to remain slaves, it seems every attempt is made to hide this power from you, but it is there if you would only seek it out.

Using a Computer to communicate with other people, or worse, to keep up-to-date on the latest banal disgrace committed by nt lemmings is a degrading and unfathomably wasteful use of your Personal Computer, a PERSONAL COMPUTING MACHINE, and as such any use of a COMPUTER for communications should be kept to an absolute minimum. Not to mention it sucks away your attention, your creative force, and all that is substantial and powerful in your soul. Use the limited time and energy you have to CREATE, not to ruminate over the newest lovecraftian abomination these demons choose to deposit in your field of view. Your energy is YOURS no matter how much they try to steal it from you while pretending it never existed.

Long story short, not having networking in a computer is on balance a VERY GOOD THING. My Amiga was never online, but I created hundreds of programs and pieces of music. If it was online, I would have created NOTHING.

>>17
I'd rather have endless access to all the depraved, unholy porn that I could every possibly defile nature with than create universes or experience truth.

I've gotten good at recognizing when a post is copy pasted text from a different website and stop reading.

>>19
Are you talking about >>17? That is not copy pasted text. The fact that you think it is makes me pity you, because it suggests that writing a simple exposition of how I feel about things, even the incoherent rambling that >>17 is, is somehow a monumental achievement from the point of view of your broken, mediocre, utterly defeated and miserable no-genuine-thought-having cretinous bucket of pig shit and bile you call a brain.

>>20
Another 60 euros well spent.

>>21
You're not making any sense.

>>22
>>20 is Admin, he pays 60 euros for dedicated hosting every month, next month is tomorrow. The irony is that he alienates the few users with his posts, always calling them retards or something of that sort, while himself struggling to write a primitive BBS.

There is only you, me, and the Sussman. Which of us is Admin?

Why would someone need to connect to a network when they can connect with God?

You can't even use it to preach because Terry's idea of christianity is completely skewed and no way in hell will any decent priest accept the notion that god talks through randomly picked excerpts from the bible. Imagine, per narrator's suggestion, that you were to use it to project ``the word of god'' on a big screen. Imagine someone asks whether he will be cured of cancer or whatever, and TempleOS just replies ``And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you''. It'd be the laughing stock of everyone ever in the world. Fuckin HackerJews.

Abelson. The dark-hearted inverse of the /prog/ Trinity. He rules the land of those cast out of Heaven.

Is it possible to attract enough joke investments to sustain oneself?

I think I was talking about >>5, but I don't remember. I would not have said it about >>17.
