Look at the posting history on some of his other accounts and it'll make sense.



His other accounts?

I'm relatively new to HN so some context would be much appreciated.


He also (used to?) post a lot on slashdot, osdev, osnews, twitter, reddit and (arguably) 4chan, and he's been banned from most of those. You often see his comments (as Terrence A. Davis) on articles that rank highly here.

At some point Poe's law kicks in, and i'm no longer sure whether it's a mental condition (which would be highly regrettable) or if it's the hivemind playing out some elongated surreal prank.


It used to be called LoseThos, then SparrowOS, and now TempleOS.

He has another account https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=SparrowOS and see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4992749


That's interesting. I feel sorry that someone who seems to be such a talented programmer has to endure exclusion due to his mental condition.

He seems to be aware that he's been shadow banned, although I can't remember enabling "show dead", I may have toggled it by mistake.
