# LRS Wiki

LRS wiki, also Less Retarded Wiki, is a [public domain](public_domain.md) ([CC0](cc0.md)) [encyclopedia](encyclopedia.md) focused on truly good, [minimalist](minimalism.md) [technology](tech.md), mainly [computers](computer.md) [software](sw.md) -- so called [less retarded software](lrs.md) (LRS) which should serve the people at large -- while also exploring related topics such as the relationship between technology and society, promoting so called [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md). The basic motivation behind LRS and its wiki is unconditional [love](love.md) of all life, and the goal of LRS is to move towards creating a truly useful, [selfless](selflessness.md) technology that maximally helps all living beings as much as possible. As such the wiki rejects for example [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) (and [capitalism](capitalism.md) itself), [bloated](bloat.md) software, [intellectual property](intellectual_property.md) laws ([copyright](copyright.md), [patents](patent.md), ...) [censorship](censorship.md), [pseudoleftism](pseudoleft.md) ([political correctness](political_correctness.md), [cancel culture](cancel_culture.md), [COC](coc.md)s ...) etc. It embraces [free as in freedom](free_software.md), simple technology, i.e. [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md), [suckless](suckless.md) software, [anarcho pacifism](anpac.md), [racial realism](racial_realism.md), [free speech](free_speech.md), [veganism](veganism.md) etc.

LRS wiki was started by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md) on November 3 2021 as a way of recording and sharing his views, experience and knowledge about technology, as well as for creating a completely public domain educational resource and account of current society for future generations. It was forked from so called "based wiki" at a point when all the content on it had been made by drummyfish, so at this point LRS wiki is 100% drummyfish's own work; over time it became kind of a snapshot of drummyfish's brain and so the wiki doesn't allow contributions (but allows and encourages [forks](fork.md)).

The wiki is similar to other wikis, for example in its topics and technical aspects it is similar to the earliest (plain HTML) versions of [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) and [wikiwikiweb](wikiwikiweb.md) (by which it was partly inspired). In tone and political incorrectness it is similar to [Encyclopedia Dramatica](dramatica.md), but unlike Dramatica LRS is a "serious" project.
