# Welcome To The Less Retarded Wiki

This is a Wiki for [less retarded software](lrs.md) (LRS) and related topics.

This wiki is **NOT** a satire nor a joke.

**Before contributing please read the [rules & style](wiki_style.md)!**

Pay us a visit on the [Island](island.md)! And come mourn with us in the [cathedral](cathedral.md), because **technology is dying**.

If you're new here, you may want to read answers to [frequently asked questions](faq.md), including "Are you a fascist?" 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) and sustainable software. 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).
