OSutor / OS-utor/ Osutor / Os-utor

Pronounced /oʊ ɛs - ˈuː.tor/ or /oh es - uhtor/, it’s an alterhuman label specifically for technological or technological adjacent beings to describe what OS —Operation System— they run by and/or use. This can also be used by alters of systems that follow the previous description.

Etymology: OS meaning Operating System. Ūtor a word of Latin origin that means to use or make use of.

How to make OS-utor sub-labels: just put the specific OS’ name in front of the label. For example: I am a Windows Vista OS-utor.

How to translate: Take the lenguaje’s version of the word “OS” and pair it with -utor. An example would be like SO-utor which is the Spanish translation of the label.

Do you have a manufacturer, if so who are they?

What level of sentience does your machine have? Can it feel emotions?

Does being a machine interact with any other identities (e.g gender or other kintypes)?

Do you get any phantom limbs/sensations? Do you like them?

Did/Does your machine have a specific job or a task to carry out?

Did you ever experience any technical faults or break down? How were your fixed?

How did maintenance feel? Satisfying or uncomfortable?

How do you feel about being painted & decorated? Do you have a specific style or will you try something new?

How did you discover your machine kintype/species?

For machines that transform - what is your favourite mechanical form?

Bonus for objectum nonhumans: what machines do you find most attractive?

Some ideas I had:

Scammers and hackers utilize remote access to gain sensitive info, but imagine an android's horror when a random man's voice garbles through their internal task manager, taking control of their actions from the inside.

Updates have a chance to corrupt a computer. Maybe an android wakes up feeling like a stranger in its own body, with only fragmented memories of who it was before. It's rapidly getting worse unless the update is reversed in time.

A charging port defect could cause an android’s battery to drain unpredictably, causing the human equivalent of narcolepsy.

Or maybe their speakers start playing old conversations at random. At first, it’s nostalgic. Then, it starts hearing things it never said.

Imagine a new background process designed to save energy, which starts selectively deleting unimportant memories. The definition of "unimportant," though, changes at random.

But what about lag/desync? A software delay causes an android's vision to be slightly out of sync with reality, or maybe it's touch sensors are so tuned that it can predict feelings before they happen.

A bot's facial recognition starts replacing real people’s identities with archived ones. It can’t tell who’s who anymore.

macOS OS-utor; an OS-utor sub-label for technological or technological adjacent beings who use and/or run by macOS.

The flag was made based on the macOS 9.0 to 10.2 in mind but it can be used for older or newer versions as well.
