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.

I've been browsing those big lists of pronouns to see if I could find any that fit me. My choices so far, in order of most vibe to least:
Okay so it sorta feels like it's taking fae/faer, filing off the f's, and writing in s's. But there's connections to concepts like evening and construction in other langauges and I'm into that. Also I like the S sound for a pronoun and, judging by the rest of my choices, the R ending sound for the third-person is required for me.
Vie... ra? Maybe I just like it because it makes me think of bunnygirls?
Oops, filed off the f's and forgot the write a new letter.
I came across ne/nem and for a brief moment, I thought it'd be funny to refer to myself in the third person and sound like an animal sidekick or pokemon or whatever. ne/nir is little closer to something I'd actually want to use. I do like the way it sounds but I dunno. Still feels like a little much next to my name.
sae/saer is such a vibe, might steal :catgirl-heart:
