DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. 'Interactive Unified Portable Operating System') is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.

It's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).

Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.

The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.

An archive of the DEMOS source code can found here: https://github.com/bpr97050/DEMOS There's some interesting comments and mailing list archives in that repository as well. :)

CW: Homophobia/Transphobia

Independently of the federal election results, "anti-DEI" measures passed by the state legislature means that my university LGBT center is going to effectively be shuttered. The center won't be closed entirely, but it won't be allowed to put on its own events, so that is going to put more burden on LGBT student groups and degrade LGBT resources for the university as a whole.

jams phone into pocket and it only fits halfway "Damn, right. Girl jeans""

I'm hope I'm not breaking any rules fouling up the trans mega thread with cissitude but I have a bunch of trans and otherwise queer people in my life who all are in really bad headspace right now, and they've all been venting to me because I am apparently the Politics Understander for them

Is there any boilerplate advice I should be giving them? Any insights from people a bit older than their 20s for the trans youngins who are terrified? It's becoming a real emotional burden for me to hear how scared some of these friends are and I'd like to have something to say to them from the experts

Soooo how fucked are we? I am legitimately worried about losing my healthcare. Should I be looking to leave the country?

[-] starkillerfish@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago

if you have the money and resources, it is not a bad idea

I texted my mom about it and she just responded with "Congratulations!"

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 17 points 13 hours ago

I remember reading that transition will “make you look like your mom, but goth.” And damn, does that describe me. lea-huh

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago

hey all I have made an easily shareable link for Tracha, hoping it can be easily spread and we can get more trans people in

I'm a bit worried I'll never feel at home with a name ever again doggirl-gloom

But I'll wait a couple weeks before fully dooming.

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 8 points 12 hours ago

It was a little weird for me the first while, it's a new name, I wasn't used to it.

My ears still perk up when my dead name is said (like referring to someone else lol), but the same thing happens with my actual name now too. It was a slow process, you get used to it, eventually you'll wake up and realize you've gone by your name for a few years and most of the people you talk to only refer to you with it and may only know you by that name.

it took me a year and a half to settle on one and i'm still a little flighty about it sometimes.

not reassuring i know, but you're not alone at least if that ends up being you too. i hope you find something though!

[-] Wmill@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

Playing tabletop games is fun went from playing he/hims to she/they then he/they to my last character she/her before the campaigned was put on hold. Getting to play a character and exploring stuff real fun though I do somewhat worry if I'm playing to any stereotypes or not. Overall my characters have been boneheaded regardless of pronouns but that's just my style big-cool

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 18 points 15 hours ago

I pre-emptively saved myself the psychic damage and unsubbed from every trans subreddit I was subbed to in advance. I couldn't imagine what's going on on r/MTF right now, other than lethal levels of liberalism

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 15 points 15 hours ago

I briefly glanced. Bunch of scratched liberals. transshork-sad

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 13 points 15 hours ago

I wish more people knew about Hexbear, it seems to be leagues ahead of any other trans space.

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 9 points 13 hours ago

It really is. We are the only damn platform I know of that enforces its mod policies.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 9 points 14 hours ago

But do we want scratched liberals joining? Granted, they'd be quickly filtered out probably and those who remain get a better place!

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago

Precisely, there have to be at least some socialists unaware of this site, or even liberals willing to learn and be educated, and Hexbear's the kind of place where people who continue to be scratched liberals show their hands pretty quickly.

[-] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I unsubscribed from r/mtf a month ago and honestly should've done that sooner. It didn't really help me at this point of my transition anymore, especially because of the political or sex posts

I've finally been able to change my name today. Will be quite busy in the next days to get my documents in order, but i'm so fucking happy. It's finally official that i'm me.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago

hell yeah, congratulations!

venting name struggles

I don't know what to do anymore. I have a name I go by, and it's not bad, but it's extremely similar to my dead name (one letter off). So, I tried to brainstorm many different names, see if I liked any of them. What usually happens is, I find a few a like, and I pick one of them that I think suits me. It reaches a point where it no longer suits me, so I pick a different name, and the cycle continues. I guess I should ask all of you how you got your names, but I have a feeling I already know how, and that just hasn't happened with me...

I seem to be figuring most things out, and I'm glad I'm starting to feel better than I have in a long time. The name seems like such a minor thing, really, but my parents do have a point about having to choose something at some point

Watched some british dating show called dinner date, what I learned british women have low standards for men and cooking. Well to be fair none of the couples really worked out and they had some odd people on there like this woman who had never eaten a vegetable in her life visible-disgust every time something was green on her plate.

I just called my GP for bloodwork for my DIY HRT, and they actually want to look if they can give it to me! Now I have to wait until they send me a mail in which an approval for bloodwork will be given or not.
