# Pseudominimalism
Pseudominimalism is the property of technology of trying to appear [minimalist](minimalism.md) on the surface while being [bloated](bloat.md) on the inside. A typical example could be a website that has minimal look -- a blank white background with some fancy-font text perhaps -- which in the background uses dozens of [JavaScript](js.md) frameworks and libraries and requires a high end CPU to even appear responsive. [Apple](apple.md) is heavily practicing pseudominimalism.
Another example are many [modern](modern.md) [CLI](cli.md) programs that [code monkeys](coder.md) use to impress their [YouTube](youtube.md) viewers or to feel like matrix haxors. Some people think that anything running in command line is minimalist which is less and less true as we progress into the future. A lot of [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) add a CLI interface ex post **on top** of an already bloated program, often by simply disabling [GUI](gui.md) (but leaving all its dependencies in). An example may be the [gomux](gomux.md) chat client.
