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. :)

Alright, my second pronoun slot is now for sale! I'm doing this to expand my pronoun usage, also just feel like I should have another set of pronouns for the NB times. So, throw them at me. Throw pronouns you like at me, I literally just want to try whatever you all think might suit me. Could also just go back to fae/faer but I've been on a strictly she/her rampage right now and I'm not in the proper state of mind to judge myself right now. A carousel is circular, so I will be eventually
.
I've put the three pronoun sets I've used in the past (I ran comrade/them or they/them on an old account).
Upvote the pronouns to pick them, or comment them if they aren't already there. I will turn on upvote view in 24 hours to see the results. If you never want to see something like this again, send me threatening DMs, and I will never do this again
TL;DR, pronouns are fun, pick pronouns with upvote or add new ones in comments please
love/loves
Only the coolest transes have these. So you might want to try it 😎
@Thallo@hexbear.net is definitely one of our coolest users, is true.
I'm cool now 😎
and Thallo-pilledWelcome to the club 🕶️
You've synthesized the Thallo-MusicOwl dialectic
Cool and Powerful
fae/faer
Pup/pup's We need more puppy girls
🤨 Of course. Interesting maneuver...
comrade/them or they/them (if you want to specify, you can)
I kinda like the doe/deer one!
Join me on the sie/hir(pronounced see/here) train!
They're powerful pronouns, they're on rotation now (and in my bio). 2 pronoun slots really limiting my power levels.
You could ask @Edie@hexbear.net for the dark power of infinite pronouns...
Be careful, though, the sheer quantity of pronouns has killed lesser queers...
I actually used to know that power, but one of the admins patched it
It is no longer possible
You're just keeping it to yourself to protect others
Loving this pronoun rotation.
Me too
