# Welcome To The Less Retarded Wiki

*Love everyone, help selflessly.*

Welcome to [Less Retarded Wiki](lrs_wiki.md), an encyclopedia only I can edit. But you can [fork](fork.md) it, it is [public domain](public_domain.md) under [CC0](cc0.md) :)

This is a Wiki for [less retarded software](lrs.md) (LRS) and related topics, mainly those of politics and society which LRS should help achieve.

**We love all living beings. Even you.** We want to create technology that truly and maximally helps you.

This wiki is **NOT** a satire.

**Before contributing please read the [rules & style](wiki_style.md)!** {But contributions aren't really accepted RN :) ~drummyfish }

We have a **[C tutorial](c_tutorial.md)**!

Pay us a visit on the [Island](island.md)! And come mourn with us in the [cathedral](cathedral.md), because **technology is dying**. The future is dark but we do our best to bring the light, even knowing it is futile.

LRS Wiki is [collapse](collapse.md) ready! Feel free to print it out, take it to your prep shelter. You may also print copies of this wiki and throw it from a plane into the streets. Thanks.

If you're new here, you may want to read answers to [frequently asked questions](faq.md) (**FAQ**), including "Are you a fascist?" (spoiler: no) and "Do you love Hitler?".

## What Is Less Retarded Software

Well, we're trying to figure this out on this wiki, but it is greatly related to [suckless](suckless.md), [Unix](unix.md), [KISS](kiss.md), [free](free_software.md), selfless and sustainable software created to maximally help all living beings. LRS stands opposed to all [shittiness](shit.md) of so called ["modern"](modern.md) software. For more details see the article about [LRS](lrs.md).
