Go check out ExpressVPN they answer to no one

Get to know EXPRESSVPN y’all this nigga reaching too hard

Does Google and Facebook tell you that they sell your data? Does Intel tell you that they purposely installed a hardware backdoor on all their chips since Pentium? You don't even work in the company and you're taking their words at face value. A company that is only out to make money. Are you technically literate?

Nigeria is just continuing to look more and more like the Soviet Union. Serving the group instead of the individual and making shit worse at the same time. Down with collectivism

There are many geniuses in the computer science world. There's John Carmack, the lead developer of DOOM; there's Linus Torvalds the mind behind the Linux kernel; there's Dennis Ritchie the mind behind the C programming language and UNIX (the most influential Operating system on earth); and many others. However none of them, and I mean it when I say none of them come close to doing what Terry Davis did on his own: create a full blown operating system.

I know you might not see it as anything, but this guy did something that no one might ever do again. The OS isn't just a terminal only environment like UNIX. It has a GUI, a 2D and 3D graphics library, and a host of other things that cannot be done by one man alone. Though it didn't have internet capabilities (considering many manufacturers of network cards hoard their documentation), it's still a great feat nonetheless.

Why would one man do all this? Because, as he claims, God told him to.

To understand this further let's take a peek at how, why and when this project started. It's 2003, and Terry A. Davis had had been living with his parents for some years after losing his job due to schizophrenia. Finally, the frequent hospitalisation has stopped and he has free time to himself, so he decides to devote all the free time he has to a project. One of the most time consuming tasks any programmer would never dream of undertaking on his own: An Operating System project. The project started under the name: the J Operating System. Davis intended it to be like the Commodore 64 (don't know if any old timer here has used one). It's main difference being faster processing speed and a more coherent system. However, come 2008, he changed the name again to "LoseThos" and Davis's vision for it was an OS used to develop games. Ofcourse, like you already know the name changed again, and finally, once again, to TempleOS.

The project took ten years to finish and was finally released in 2013. It had a host of features. A text editor, games, a 2d and 3d graphics library, multitasking, a compiler for a programming language created by Davis himself, and a shell like bash.

He hit the forums (Reddit, Osdev, ycombinator etc) to tell everyone about his new OS. He was really persistent and weird because he would write huge blocks of random text (which he claimed was speaking in tongues) and would lash out at his critics which would get him bans and, even worse, shadow bans. Even after he finished the project he still continued, sometimes writing under alternate monikers. However, even a change in monikers was still noticeable because of how crazy he was.

This continued for some time till he started to get unfavourable attention which later turned to a fandom, none of which made his life any better. Soon enough, he left his parents house and went on to live a nomadic life till his death in 2018. He was hit by a train. The police report that was released later on said that he was walking along the track while the train was coming, and on seeing it, did nothing to save his own life. In fact, he turned back to look it square in the face till the end.

There's nothing like moving on...
Japanese are just waiting for the right time, you'll see...

Then you don't know the Japanese. They're the most docile people on earth. They're not like us or the Europeans who go around shouting slurs and threatening each other over nonsense.

Thebadpolitican:
Bulidings with roofing for university are unappealing to me


Those are cheap unstandardized buildings for a university a university building should be decking and the walls should be thick abd high rised buildings


Not looking like a residential house or standard sec school buildings

Look at this one. The Europeans that use centuries old buildings nko. Cho Cho Cho Cho Cho without thinking.

You're angry cos it affected your brother but if it's others you'll type, "Click here for more Bad News" abi

Bad News is like Agnes Nwamma, e go reach everybody.

So you live in Enugu?

Op, your use of English get as e take be.

emmyileri:
Do you even know the story of the Ethiopian eunuch? How he got converted by Philip and baptized? ... Do you think he will keep the light of the knowledge of Jesus christ to himself alone? Please if you can't disprove my assertion through valid reasons don't bother to reply me.

Who is disputing your claim? Don't you know the meaning of "I don't know"?

Kobojunkiee:
Commonsense!

Honestly, all these people forming woke traditionalists (even though they go for Monday night prayers) sicken me. No one should give a damn about another's religious beliefs. Let's just live together in peace instead of looking for new methods to divide us further.

emmyileri:
COLONIAL MASTER DIDN'T INTRODUCE CHRISTIANITY TO AFRICA. THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH WAS A CHRISTIAN AND TOOK CHRISTIANITY TO AFRICA. SIMON OF CYRENE THE ONE WHO CARRIED THE CROSS OF JESUS WAS FROM AFRICA.

This is not really true. Coptic Christianity was actually practised a long time ago in Africa before the reign of Islam, and the Ethiopians had their own church too. As for the part about Simon of Cyrene, I don't really know

gameova:
We are supposed to preserve our culture and traditional Religion like the Europeans that gave us their religion did. They have theirs, we have ours. It's that simple.

Bro just leave people to worship whatever they wanna worship. That's how human rights and freedom work. If tradition and culture are sacrificed for the sake of the rights stipulated by society, so be it

Mubby4luv:
You are not serious, The country is looking for ways to generate revenue and you are talking nonsense. Lithium business is what is booming here in my local, the Chinese people come to buy it in bulk from locals. We ve it in abundance here and just of recent other minerals are found and extracted from lithium

I don't think you understand the dangers of mining highly poisonous materials in Nigeria. Unlike saner climes, what do you think will happen when those foreign companies try to get rid of the waste from processing such materials? Don't you think the same thing shell is doing will happen here?

pocohantas:
Very fishy. I remembered I got a mention from his moniker in the past. That was what spurred me to go check his topics.



Odiegwu. I saw one that has been on this for 8 years. His first/main moniker was very active in the sexuality section. Majority of them are punters or olosho ambassadors.

The story wey go move me for NL in this 2022 has to be very touching fa.

I thought that it's only me that checks people's past posts and topics. Nairaland ehn

This election go tight . No one is even sure of anything again.

pocohantas:
This was OP in 2021

https://www.nairaland.com/6454972/ever-encounter-injury-during-sx

Recounting HIS experience after having marathon sex with a girl.

Fast forward to 2022, you are now Nancy , an ex sales GIRL.

I pity who still dey believe 90% of Nairalanders stories.

The story is even fishy self.

Deltavariant:
The most dangerous presidential ticket is of Tinubu & Shettima, Shettima has been the most vocal amongst all VP candidates giving people who don't know him a little inclination about how desperately overambitious he is. Nigerians must reject these ethno religious fascists.

What's even funnier is that this shettima guy resembles Benito Mussolini. That man is a fascist, and if we make the mistake of voting him and his boss, we are all doomed.

longifilis:
Who has seen the demons, satan before?
How does Satan look like?
Why did we have that wretched picture of the man called Lucifer?
I am not a pastor
But it's written in the bible, He was/ is the most beautiful creature

The doll does make sense to me
At the same time, I don't concur with the people perceptions about satan/ demons

Because people are stupid, most especially the idiots on this thread. It's sad honestly.

Nigerians are dumb as Bleep. tufia. Some even claiming that africans are the best in morals.

virginprincess:
These are one of the reasons why i will always continue to adore and respect Africa/Nigeria parents(mums especially)they are the best when it comes to discipline and moral upbringing.

Yet we're the most corrupt on earth. Well don

Nefort:
So what does Uyo have that Enugu doesn't have? I am considering moving to Uyo that's why I need some info from you.

If you dey go do work or business there forget am oh. Unless you wanna do seafood business, open a retail outlet, or start a large restaurant like Kilimanjaro. Be warned. And yeah, I don't think there's such a thing as pipe borne water.

So, on to the perks of Uyo. Clean and serene environment, very good roads (unless you move to a remote unpopular village because even the villages there have good roads); electricity is okay (depends on where you're staying though); many nice places to enjoy oneself; cheap food; very very very cheap transport, I miss this one . This is all I can remember.

Nefort:
Which city do you prefer apart from Lagos and Abuja?

Uyo, but it's for rich people

Starz825:
Keep deceiving yourselves...
Na obidatti wan do infrastructural development for each state and capital....

Obidatti can be a good president and vice....what about your governors, senators and reps.....
Obidatti are just pace setters... ain't gonna change Nigeria in 8 years

Better start holding your governor's and senators responsible for good standard of living

You put it in far better words than I can. Some people would rather blame Buhari for everything than sit down and think.

Komu1048:
Bros I've been to 26 state including fct out of the 36 we had in naija. Kogi rank first, the Igalas have cripple that state with their backwardness, awka suppose be second to me but I heard the place have improve so much, then it's going to be plateau(esp that faringada area is hell of a place, bad road then Ekiti. My criteria is purely infrastructure, healthy environment, security, employment opportunities. Please I don't consider hotel, Bar

Because that seems as the only criteria some igbos use in rating a city

Everyone who's been through Kogi knows how terrible the place is. How can a whole state be like a village? Nothing but trucks, ugly malformed houses, huts, and (lord Jesus Christ) the terrible road. Abia is another state that is terrible too.

Abi oh, I don't know how hotels or bars make a state better than it is.

Personally. I hate Enugu. The place is fucking dry, but man Lokoja has got to be the worst state I've passed through. I wonder what all the governors of that state since democracy have been doing. Doesn't mean I'll still drop my hate for Enugu, I can't even differentiate Abakpa from the Auschwitz concentration camp.
