It seems to be an Openbox theme in case anyone else is interested

  Yeah, adding "for Arch Linux" seems unnecessary. Could @dang correct the title?

    "Temple OS Theme / Rice For Arch Linux" is the description of the repo on the page. I understand the sentiment, but I don't think the title's the right place to correct the original author.

Well there's a thing that exists.

It seems weird to me, that the linked website is just for selling cheats for multiplayer games. Not sure what to make out of this...
- Paul-Craft 3y ago
  Huh? The article link is to a github repo.
  - ethanwillis 3y ago
    Yea and that github repo's readme has a link to "templecheats" at the bottom. Did you read it?
- Grimburger 3y ago
  Sounds like you have rogue extension somewhere.
  - ethanwillis 3y ago
    It's a link at the bottom of the readme... if you read it...

  Since there seems to be a misunderstanding: I meant the website linked in the readme.md [1] of the linked repo [1] https://github.com/PhilipPanda/TempleOS_Theme/blob/main/README.md?plain=1#L13 https://github.com/PhilipPanda/TempleOS_Theme/blob/main/READ...

As someone who first knew Terry Davis from Slashdot where his clearly mentally ill posts seemed to get downvoted a lot of the time, it is remarkable to see that the products of his madness have become regarded as real art with staying power. He is like the Adolf Wölfli of the hacker crowd.

  He's also the origin of the word "glowie": https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie
  - pengaru 3y ago
    Kind of? he never actually used the word glowie AFAIK. 4chan is the origin.
    - slj 3y ago
      He coined the phrase which the word is descended from, infamously, on a video livestream
      - DANmode 3y ago
        THAT part is true.
  - DANmode 3y ago
    Perhaps the modern/mainstream popularization.
    - meindnoch 3y ago
      Huh? Where do you think it originates then?

A perfect theme to drive into the glow as directed by the space alien talking through your car radio or the NIST random number generator. But I am disappointed at the blasphemous resolution. We can only do 640x480, 16 colors (4-bit depth). NOTE: corrected

    Ring 0 only. Ring 3 is like wearing three condoms. God wants us to be close to the hardware.

      That is divine intellect right there.

Sigh. Reminder that Terry being hellbanned on this website was cited by those who tracked him down in person towards the end as very not good for his mental state/part of reason for his extreme decline towards the end. Whether that’s true, no clue. But I like to think he deserved better.

  > Reminder that Terry being hellbanned on this website was cited by those who tracked him down in person towards the end as very not good for his mental state/part of reason for his extreme decline towards the end. Yikes. That's some serious deflection from the 4chan crowd, where the trolls came from who made it their mission to completely destroy this vulnerable person's life via the internet.

    But did Terry fell that 4chan were his own people? He probably felt that the HN crowd was, and therefore being ostracized from them could have hit just as hard as the 4chan trolling.
    - pengaru 3y ago
      They're totally orthogonal, the trolls weren't going to leave Terry alone regardless of his HN status. HN had nothing to do with assholes "gifting" Terry a drum knowing it would completely disrupt his elderly parent's home he shared, and was subsequently forced to leave for living out of a minivan. Then they preyed on his internet crushes discovered through his livestreams, watching those same livestreams as he read spoofed emails they sent from said crushes. Ultimately what really ruined everything for Terry IMHO was live-streaming. You can't have vulnerable people live-streaming like that. It's when everything went off a cliff for him. There was realtime live video feedback for everything the trolls were doing anonymously to him. Instant gratification and optimization for their end.

Very cool! I wonder if someone could package this as a pacman/AUR package.

interesting background. He suffered from mental illness bipolar + schizophrenia. Being persecuted / talking to god are common afflictions of this illness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_A._Davis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_A._Davis
