 { **MINI DRAMA SECTION**: I want to apologize here for mentioning that I found the game selling on Switch store and assuming it was a cash grab scam, I actually got an email from the developer and got a very nice donation. Thank you <3 EDIT2: **I am an idiot.** I probably fucked up the previous statement too as I got an email from a friend who asked me if this is a sell out, and I now absolutely see it looks that way, so please let me clarify this: I do not approve of proprietary software or selling software for money, I also hate Nintendo Switch etc., hopefully that's clear. What happened was that the developer emailed me beforehand asking if he could make the port, if I wanted to be credited and if I would accept a donation, and this alone is very nice of him (despite me still holding my beliefs about selling software etc.) because it's pretty clear he can make the port without asking me or paying me anything. I responded he can of course make the port and that donations and credit are always optional and there is not even any moral pressure to make them (i.e. not only I don't require them, I don't even expect them), i.e. basically what I state on my website. He then made the port and sent me a nice donation (which may be even more than what the port will make, i.e. it's clearly not a blatant cash grab), but later on someone sent me a link to the port on Switch store and of course like a dumbass I am I FORGOT about the email (one of very many I get) and so I assumed it was some kinda "scam" (which would still be legally fine of course) and made a comment about it in some places, and this was a BIG FUCKUP by me because I gave the guy a thumbs up and then behaved as if I didn't, and this I am very deeply sorry for. I.e. this wasn't me suddenly approving of a commercial port or changing my opinions upon receiving money, it was just me accidentally behaving like a dick, which is what I want to apologize for. ~drummyfish }

-**Chess and [IQ](iq.md)/intelligence** (a quite comprehensive summary of the topic is available here: http://www.billwallchess.com/articles/IQ.htm): there is a debate about how much of a weight general vs specialized intelligence, IQ, memory and pure practice have in becoming good at chess. It's not clear at all, everyone's opinion differs. A popular formula (Levitt equation) states that *highest achievable Elo = 1000 + 10 * IQ*, though its accuracy and validity are of course highly questionable. All in all this is probably very similar to language learning: obviously some kind of intelligence/talent is needed to excel, however chess is extremely similar to any other sport in that putting HUGE amounts of time and effort into practice (preferably from young age) is what really makes you good -- without practice even the biggest genius in the world will be easily beaten by a casual chess amateur, and even a relatively dumb man can learn chess very well under the right conditions (just like any dumbass can learn at least one language well); many highest level chess players admit they sucked at math and hated it. As one starts playing chess, he seems to more and more discover that it's really all about studying and practice more than anything else, at least up until the highest master levels where the genius gives a player the tiny nudge needed for the win -- at the grandmaster level intelligence seems to start to matter more. Intelligence is perhaps more of an accelerator of learning, not any hard limit on what can be achieved, however also just having fun and liking chess (which may be just given by upbringing etc.) may have similar accelerating effects on learning. Really the very basics can be learned by literally ANYONE, then it's just about learning TONS of concepts and principles (and automatizing them), be it tactical patterns (forks, pins, double check, discovery checks, sacrifices, smothered mates, ...), good habits, positional principles (pawn structure, king safety, square control, piece activity, ...), opening theory (this alone takes many years and can never end), endgame and mating patterns, time management etcetc.

 { NOTE (speculative): I think I've heard some research suggested that it's not so much the spatial/visual part of the brain that's responsible for playing chess but rather the language part, it really seems like learning chess might be more similar to learning a foreign language -- it takes about the same time to become "fluent" at chess and the key to being good at it is starting at young age. I.e. the relationship of chess and intelligence is probably similar to that of language learning and intelligence. ~drummyfish }

 **Is there any luck or [randomness](randomness.md) in chess?** Not in the rules of game itself of course, there is no dice rolling and there is no hidden information, however luck and randomness is present in the meta game (playing as white vs black may be decided randomly, your opponent may be assigned to you randomly etc.) and then [de facto](de_facto.md) in the fact that although no information is hidden, no one can ever have a complete information due to the sheer complexity of the game, so in practice playing chess involves risk, intuition and educated guessing at any human and superhuman (computer) level. So chess players do commonly talk about luck, outcome of a game is always a matter of probability which is however given by the relative skill of both players. Probability of a hobbyist beating professional in a fair game, unlike e.g. in some card games, can effectively be considered [zero](zero.md).
 
 ## Chess In General
 
-Chess evolved from ancient board games in India (most notably Chaturanga) in about 6th century -- some sources say that in chess predecessor games dice was used to determine which man a player was allowed to move but that once dice were banned because of hazard games, we got the variant without any element of chance. Nowadays the game is internationally governed by **FIDE** which has taken the on role of an authority that defines the official rules: FIDE rules are considered to be the standard chess rules. FIDE also organizes tournaments, promotes the game and keeps a list of registered players whose performance it rates with so called **[Elo](elo.md)** system --⁠ based on the performance it also grants titles such as **Grandmaster** (GM, strongest, around 2000 in the world), **International Master** (IM, second strongest, roughly 4000 in the world), **FIDE Master** (FM, roughly 8000 in the world) or **Candidate Master** (CM). A game of chess is so interesting in itself that chess is usually not played for money like many other games ([poker](poker.md), [backgammon](backgammon.md), ...).

 The study of chess openings is called **opening theory** or just *theory*. Playing the opening stage is special by being based on memorization of this theory, i.e. hundreds or even thousands of existing opening lines that have been studied and analyzed by computers, rather than by performing mental calculation (logical "thinking ahead" present in middlegame and endgame). Some see this as weakness of chess that makes players spend extreme energy on pure memorization. One of the best and most famous players, Bobby Fischer, was of this opinion and has created a chess variant with randomized starting position that prevents such memorization, so called *chess 960*.
 
-**[Elo](elo.md) rating** is a mathematical system of numerically rating the performance of players (it is used in many sports, not just chess); Elo basically assigns players a rating number that says how skilled the player is. Given two players with Elo rating it is possible to compute the probability of the game's outcome (e.g. white has 70% chance of winning etc.). The FIDE set the parameters so that the rating is roughly this: < 1000: beginner, 1000-2000: intermediate, 2000-3000: master (currently best humans rate close to 3000). More advanced systems have also been created, namely the Glicko system, however these are often quite [bloated](bloat.md) and complicated, so Elo stays the most commonly used rating system. **Alternative ways** of determining player skills also exist, for example so called accuracy, which says how closely one played to the perfect play according to some strong engine such as stockfish. The advantage here is that to rate a player we don't need too much data like with Elo (which needs to see many games of the player against other already rated players) -- it may be enough to let the player play a few games against a computer to determine his skill. A disadvantage however lies in how exactly to compute accuracy because that gets a little complicated by other factors, for example many times finding the best move is trivial (like retaking a queen in an exchange) while in others gets much more difficult, or the fact that humans often DON'T want to play the mathematically best move but rather a bit weaker, more comfortable one, so even grandmasters often choose a weaker move even though they know the theoretically best move. Another idea may be to use a standard set of puzzles, basically like an [IQ](iq.md) test. Yet another idea is for example to compute so called [Erdos number](erdos_number.md), i.e. the minimum length of a chain of victories from the world's best player, i.e. for example rating player A with number 3 says he defeated someone who defeated someone who defeated the world's best. A guy called tom7 devised a method for measuring performance of weak chess engines by basically mixing stockfish (the strongest chess engine) with a random move bot in certain ratios -- i.e. making an engine that with certain probability (given by the mixture ratio) plays either a move by stockfish or a random move -- and then determining the mixture ratio at which this monstrosity becomes indistinguishable from the tested engine (i.e. we can say "the tested engine is a mixture of stockfish and random moves in this ratio"). Along these lines we may similarly try to compute how much of a different kind of handicap -- let's say material or time (or, with humans, amount of alcohol) -- we have to give to the strong engine for it to become on par with the tested entity (i.e. the ratio of wins and losses is about 1).

 The rules of chess are quite simple ([easy to learn, hard to master](easy_to_learn_hard_to_master.md)) and can be found anywhere on the Internet. In short, the game is played on a 8x8 board by two players: one with **[white](white.md)** men, one with **[black](black.md)** (LOL IT'S [RACIST](racism.md) :D). Each man has a way of moving and capturing (eliminating) enemy men, for example bishops move diagonally while pawns move one square forward and take diagonally. The goal is to **checkmate** the opponent's king, i.e. make the king attacked by a man while giving him no way to escape this attack. There are also lesser known rules that noobs often miss and ignore, e.g. so called en-passant or the 50 move rule that declares a draw if there has been no significant move for 50 moves.

-**White is generally seen as having a slight advantage over black** (just like in [real life](irl.md) lol). It is because he always has the first move -- statistics confirm this as white on average wins a little more often (even in the world of computers which is spared of psychological factors). The advantage is very small, estimated by engines to be around a very small fraction of a pawn, and this slight imbalance doesn't play such as big role in beginner and intermediate games but starts to become apparent in master games where the play can be very equal. How big the advantages is exactly is a matter of ongoing debate, most people are of the opinion there exists a small advantage for the white (with imperfect, human play, i.e. that white plays easier, has more choices, tolerates slightly less accurate play), though most experts think chess is a draw with perfect play (pro players can usually quite safely play for a draw and secure it if they don't intend to win; world championships mostly consist of drawn games as really one player has to make a mistake to allow the other one to win). Minority of experts think white has theoretical forced win. Probably only very tiny minority of people think white doesn't have any advantage or even that black is in a better overall position. Some argue that even if black doesn't have an overall advantage, he still has a number of smaller advantages over white, as it's true that sometimes the obligation to make a move may be a disadvantage (this is called [zugzwang](zugzwang.md)). It's for example true that the theoretical fastest possible checkmate is delivered by black, not white. Probably no one thinks black has a forced win though, but as that's not disproved yet so maybe someone actually believes it.

 **Blindfold play**: it's quite impressive that very good players can play completely blindfold, without any actual chessboard, and some can even play many games simultaneously this way. This is indeed not easy to do and playing blindfold naturally decreases one's strength a bit (it seems this is more of a case on lower level of play though). It is however not the case that only an exceptional genius could play this way, probably anyone can learn it, it's just a matter of training (it's a matter of developing an efficient mental representation of the board rather than actually exactly remembering the whole board -- in psychology called *chunking*). Probably all masters (above FIDE ELO 2000) can play blindfold. They say the ability comes naturally just by playing countless games. How to learn playing blindfold then? Just play a lot of chess, it will come naturally -- this is the advice probably most often given. However if you specifically wish to learn blindfold play, you may focus on it, e.g. by training blindfold against very weak computer. Some software chess boards offer a mode in which one can see the position and color of all men but not which type they are -- this may perhaps be a good start. It may possibly also be done very gradually -- for example start by covering just part of the board and every week cover yet more squares; eventually you'll have them all covered.

 Computers have already surpassed the best humans in their playing strength (we can't exactly compute an engine's [Elo](elo.md) as it depends on hardware used, but generally the strongest would rate high above 3000 FIDE).

Muller (https://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/max-src2.html, 1433 C characters, Toledo claims it is weaker than his program).

-Color (also *colour*, from *celare*, "to cover") is the perceived visual quality of light that's associated with its [wavelength](wavelength.md)/[frequency](frequency.md) (or mixture of several); for example [red](red.md), [blue](blue.md) and [yellow](yellow.md) are colors. [Electromagnetic](electromagnetism.md) waves with wavelength from about 380 to 750 nm (about 400 to 790 THz) form the **visible spectrum**, i.e. waves our eyes can see -- combining such waves with different intensities and letting them fall on the retina of our eyes gives rise to the perception of color in our brain. There is a hugely deep *color theory* concerned with the concept of color (its definition, description, reproduction, psychological effect etc.). Needless to say colors are extremely important in anything related to visual [information](information.md) such as [art](art.md), [computer graphics](graphics.md), astrophysics, various visualizations or just everyday perception of our world. Color support is sometimes used as the opposite of systems that are extremely limited in the number of colors they can handle, which may be called [monochromatic](monochrome.md), 1bit (distinguishing only two colors), black&white or [grayscale](grayscale.md). Color can be seen to be in the same relation to sight as [pitch](pitch.md) is to hearing.

 Fun fact: in the past some colors were officially called [nigger](nigger.md).
 
 **How many colors are there?** The number of colors humans can distinguish is of course individual (color blindness makes people see fewer colors but there are also conditions that make one see more colors), then also we can ask what color really means (see below) but -- approximately speaking -- various sources state we are able to distinguish millions or even over 10 million different colors on average. In computer technology we talk about **color depth** which says the number of [bits](bit.md) we use to represent color -- the more bits, the more colors we can represent. 24 bits are nowadays mostly used to record color (8 bits for each red, green and blue component, so called *true color*), which allows for 16777216 distinct colors, though even something like [16 bits](rgb565.md) (65536 colors) is mostly enough for many use cases. Some advanced systems however support many more colors than true color, especially extremely bright and dim ones -- see [HDR](hdr.md).
 
-**What gives physical objects their color?** Most everyday objects get its color from reflecting only specific parts of the white light (usually sunlight), while absorbing the opposite part of the spectrum, i.e. for example a white object reflects all incoming light, a black one absorbs all incoming light (that's why black things get hot in sunlight), a red one reflects the red light and absorbs the rest etc. This is determined by the qualities of the object's surface, such as the structure of its atoms or its microscopic geometry.

In theory a free license should imply a free work, but in practice this is just not so, just like for example an "eco" label doesn't automatically mean something is eco-friendly, it's simply a sticker that became either misused or downright abused, so you cannot rely on a sticker, even the forefront "free content" websites often distribute non-free works under free licenses. It's probably not even that the guy who illegitimately puts a free license on his work is doing something illegal, it may be completely legal to do (if you read the license carefully, you may find it states that it only applies to what the author actually created), the point is that the license is likely ineffective (or only partially effective, not applied to the work as a whole, just to some parts), so you may get into legal trouble by using such works in ways you think you are allowed to but in fact aren't. People just stick the licenses on works without knowing how copyright works AND some purposefully use ineffective free licenses as a form of [openwashing](openwashing.md) -- the best example is probably [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) which is popularly known as the "free" encyclopedia and while it's true that a great part of it IS free, it's also true a great deal of it simply is NOT truly free (for example the free use images or detailed plot summaries of proprietary movies -- yes, it is LEGAL but it's not free, we'll explain this later on). Same with [Linux](linux.md) etc. Remember that a free license can be put on anything, you can write anything on a piece of paper, nothing will happen even if you download a 100% proprietary Hollywood movie and put a [CC0](cc0.md) on it, the world will not explode -- only when it starts to cause the copyright holder significant financial losses to be worth it for him to sue you and drag through months or years of court battles will you learn that in fact the license was ineffective, but this will almost never happen, there are millions and millions of "fake free" works on the Internet that no one cares about because in 99% cases they don't harm anyone's wallet, and because they keep happily existing like this thanks to being tolerated (despite not being legit), a common public perception arose that it's actually legitimate to use licenses like this, but it's nothing but a myth, a misconception widely believed even by many people "in the business".

If on paper it says you can modify the work but then in practice you can't because the source code is [obfuscated](obfuscation.md), you DO NOT have the right practically and therefore the work is NOT free (at best you can argue it is free legally without being free practically, which is the same as e.g. being legally alive while actually being physically dead). If you find you don't have even just one of the basic four freedoms de facto available, the work is NOT free. But if it passes the test, we can move on.

 Now a prerequisite (but, as we said, NOT a sufficient condition) for the main, practical freedom is that you also must have these basic four freedoms granted LEGALLY, because in today's world any work is by default owned by someone and if you don't get explicit permission to do something with it, you may get legally bullied which eventually results in you PHYSICALLY becoming unable to utilize the freedoms (as you'll end up in jail and your work will be burned etc.), and so here is where we start to check the licenses and stuff. So as a next step we have to take a look at the legal side: ask yourself "Can I legally exercise ALL of the four basic freedoms?". You can if:

This reversibility is only possible if the rules of the system are such that no state can evolve from two or more different states (see [bijection](bijection.md) and [reversible computing](reversible_computing.md)). If this holds then it is always possible to time-reverse the system and step it backwards to its initial state. This may be useful for things such as [undos](undo.md) in programs. Also note that even if a system is reversible, it may be computationally very time consuming and sometimes practically impossible to reverse the system (imagine e.g. reversing a cryptographic [hash](hash.md) -- mathematical reversibility of such hash may be arbitrarily ensured by e.g. pairing each hash with the lowest value that produces it).

 IMPORTANT NOTE: **[fair use](fair_use.md) (or exclusive author permission) is unacceptable in free culture!** It is an extremely common mistake, happening even among people long contributing to free culture, to think that within free culture you can use a piece of proprietary art under so called *fair use* while keeping the whole work adhering to free culture -- you cannot do this (even though e.g. [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) does this for which it actually seizes to be a completely free work). Fair use is a legal concept that allows people to use any kind of art -- even proprietary -- in some "fair" ways even without the permission of the copyright holder, i.e. for example you can likely use someone's copyrighted photograph on your website as long as you have a good justification for it (e.g. documenting a historical event with this being the only existing photo of it), if you only include a low resolution version and if you're not making money off of it -- this could be judged fair use by the court, i.e. you wouldn't be violating copyright. However a work that is to be free licensed must allow ANY use, not just fair use, i.e. it mustn't contain any part under fair use, or even under EXCLUSIVE author's permission for it to be used within that project, because such part would only limit the work to be used in the "fair use" way ONLY. While in some contexts, e.g. in hobbyist projects, such work will likely be legal, i.e. fair use, in other context, like commercial ones (which free culture MUST enable), this fair use part will suddenly seize to be fair use and the use will be illegal. Similarly if you e.g. want to use someone's music in your free culture movie, it is NOT enough to get the author's permission to use the music in your movie, the author has to give permission to EVERYONE to use it in ANY WAY, because if your movie is to be under a free license, anyone will be able to take any part out of your movie and use it in any other way. { I actually managed to get some characters out of the [SuperTuxKart](supertuxkart.md) game for this reason, there were some mascots that were used under exclusive permission, which was unacceptable and Debian maintainers sorted this out. So just for the confirmation of this fact: Debian also confirmed this. ~drummyfish }

 Therefore it is crucial to stress that **games are [technology](tech.md) like any other**, they can be exploiting and abusive, and so indeed all the high standards we hold for other technology we must also hold for games. Too many people judge games solely by their externals, i.e. gameplay, looks and general fun they have playing them. For us at [LRS](lrs.md) gameplay is but one attribute, and not even the one of greatest importance; factors such as [software freedom](free_software.md), [cultural freedom](free_culture.md), [sucklessness](suckless.md), good internal design and being [future proof](future_proof.md) are even more important.
 
 A small number of games nowadays come with a [free](free_software.md) engine, which is either official (often retroactively freed by its developer in case of older games) or developed by volunteers. Example of the former are the engines of ID games ([Doom](doom.md), [Quake](quake.md)), example of the latter can be [OpenMW](openmw.md) (a free engine for TES: Morrowind) or [Mangos](mangos.md) (a free server for [World of Warcraft](wow.md)). Console [emulators](emulator.md) (such as of Playstation or Gameboy) can also be considered a free engine for playing proprietary games.
 
-Yet a smaller number of games are completely free (in the sense of [Debian](debian.md)'s free software definition), including both the engine and game assets. These games are called **free games** or **libre games** and many of them are clones of famous proprietary games. Examples of these probably (one can rarely ever be sure about legal status) include [SuperTuxKart](stk.md), [Minetest](minetest.md), [Xonotic](xonotic.md), [FLARE](flare.md) or [Anarch](anarch.md). There exists a wiki for libre games at https://libregamewiki.org and a developer forum at https://forum.freegamedev.net/. Libre games can also be found in Debian software repositories. However WATCH OUT, all mentioned repositories may be unreliable!

 { NOTE: Do not blindly trust libregamewiki and freegamedev forum, non-free games occasionally DO appear there by accident, negligence or even by intention. I've actually found that most of the big games like SuperTuxKart have some licensing issues (they removed one proprietary mascot from STK after my report). Ryzom has been removed after I brought up the fact that the whole server content is proprietary and secret. So if you're a purist, focus on the simpler games and confirm their freeness yourself. Anyway, LGW is a good place to start looking for libre games. It is much easier to be sure about freedom of suckless/LRS games, e.g. Anarch is legally safe practically with 100% certainty. ~drummyfish }

Justifications for this range from "data itself can't be harmful" (false), through "we just focus on software" to "we need GNU to be more popular" (i.e. compatible with proprietary games and so on). GNU is also generally **NOT supportive of [free culture](free_culture.md) and even uses copyright to prohibit modifications of their propaganda texts**: the [GFDL](gfdl.md) license (aka the propaganda license) they use for texts may contain sections that are prohibited from being modified and so are non-free by definition.

In 1930s this actually caused a big crisis in mathematics, connected to so called Hilbert's program which aimed to establish a completely "bulletproof" system to be the foundation of mathematics, however in 1932 [Kurt Godel](godel.md) mathematically proved, with his [incompleteness theorems](incompleteness.md), that (basically) there are logical truths which math itself can never prove, and that, put in a simplified way, "math itself cannot prove its own consistency", which of course killed Hilbert's program; since then we simply know we will never have a logically perfect system. This is related to the limited power of [computers](computer.md) due to [undecidability](undecidability.md) (there are problems a computer can never decide), proven by [Alan Turing](turing.md).
 
 **What is mathematics really about?** Elementary school dropouts think math is about calculations and [numbers](number.md) -- sure, these are a big part of it but mathematicians mostly give a different answer. The core and [art](art.md) of high mathematics is constructing **[proofs](proof.md)**, but it also involves exploration, a common theme is e.g. **[generalization](generalization.md)**: mathematicians love to take already existing knowledge and patterns and extend them into other domains, find more general rules of which currently known rules are only a [special case](special_case.md). By this they are discovering universal laws and find that even seemingly unrelated concepts may have a lot in common.

 # Proof
 
+[Mathematical](math.md) proof is [logical](logic.md) reasoning that beyond any doubt shows given statement to be true. Such a proof is the best and most objective guarantee of truthfulness we can ever hope for -- this is not to say there can't ever exist any doubt about mathematical proof, but as long as we believe logic itself holds and that there is no error in the proof, the proven statement has to hold.
+
 TODO
 
 **Why do we need mathematical proof if something is obvious?** Well, mathematicians need to be most precise and proof enables them to discover absolute truths without any shadow of a doubt (a luxury most other scientists don't have), so they set it as a standard because many things that seem obvious aren't in fact so -- for example numbers 31, 331, 3331, 33331, 333331, 3333331 and 33333331 are all [primes](prime.md) so you might think by this pattern also 333333331 will be a prime, but that's not the case because 333333331 = 19607843 * 17. Sometimes patterns deceive us, mathematicians only take proof for the ultimate solution. But indeed e.g. the industry sometimes accepts even unproven but highly likely conjectures to hold, e.g. that [P doesn't equal NP](p_vs_np.md), simply for economic reasons (the chance of being wrong is very low and profitability of being right is high).

@@ -2,13 +2,13 @@
 
 *Slowly boiling the frog* names a phenomenon by which people tolerate a very significant change for the worse if that change is very gradual, even if they would absolutely not tolerate the change being made quickly. The name refers to an experiment in which a frog doesn't jump out of boiling water if the water temperature is raised very gradually (even though according to "modern science" this experiment actually doesn't work exactly this way, it still demonstrated the principle). In essence it can be said that people won't protest living in bad conditions, they will only protest a quick change for the worse. When [evil](evil.md) is creeping in slowly, it will be tolerated, and this gets exploited to rape people: for example at first a small, innocent looking law is introduced whose scope will increase each year without anyone noticing. But the practice is not limited to law, it is popular among whoever holds the power, for example [corporations](corporation.md): [they can](yes_they_can.md) establish any kind of evil if only they invest the time to do it gradually, without ringing the bell too loudly to anger too many people at once. This pattern is very reliable and exploited plentifully over and over without people ever learning from it -- even if they read this very article, they will happily let themselves be abuse like before. This technique works on everyone except [drummyfish](drummyfish.md) who undergoes extreme suffering because he NEVER gets used to even a slight increase of evil.
 
-For example the amount and aggressiveness of brainwashing [ads](marketing.md) and technological abuse that young people tolerate nowadays would have been absolutely unacceptable a few decades ago, but now it's the reality of life that few even question (some complete retards like that *linus tech* [faggot](faggot.md) even defend it). Imagine you traveled back to 1990s and made the following offer to a random man: wanna buy this device that will be spying on you, show you ads whenever you interact with it, you'll have to pay for it monthly, charge it daily and every two years pay for a new model? He'd tell you must have some serious brain damage to even make that offer. Nowadays the situation is completely opposite: they'll call you retarded if you decline this offer. The frog has been boiled.

He'd tell you must have some serious brain damage to even make that offer. Nowadays the situation is completely opposite: they'll call you retarded if you decline this offer. The frog has been boiled.
 
 The technique of slowly boiling the frog is used by [corporations](corporation.md), [governments](government.md), fascists and idiots to slowly take away people's freedom in small steps: each step takes away a bit of freedom while promising some reward, normally in form of additional comfort -- normal people are too braindead to see the obvious trick and are enthusiastic about the change. If you tell them that giving up [net neutrality](net_neutrality.md) or [simplicity](minimalism.md) will eventually lead to almost complete loss of freedom, they label you a [tinfoil](tinfoil.md) or "conspiracy theorist", they tell you that "it's not a big deal". So it will go on with other and other changes and the normie is still happy because he can only see one step ahead or behind. The bad thing is that it's not only the normie who will suffer --in fact he may even be happy as a slave robot of the system -- but you will suffer as well. Normies decide the future of the environment we all have to live in.
 
 Slowly boiling the frog works very well when spanning several generations because a new generation won't remember that things used to be better. Parents can tell them but young never listen to older generations, or take them seriously. A [zooomer](genz.md) won't remember that computers used to be better, he thinks that [bloated](bloat.md) phones filled with [ads](ad.md) and [DRM](drm.md) that don't work without Internet connection and that spy on you constantly are the only way of technology, they don't know that back then it wasn't this way, even if they hear about it, they just don't comprehend it.
 
-This can also be seen with all the [subscriptions](subscription.md) and *[service as software replacement](saas.md)* in [modern](modern.md) tech. Back in the 90s no one would buy a program he would have to keep periodically paying for, people saw that was stupid and everyone would tell you that no company can make subscription software because no one would pay subscriptions if he can just buy a competitor's program once and use it forever, people would just laugh at any company trying to do that; if back then you told anyone subscriptions would become the sole business model in technology, even e.g. for cars, they would literally put you in mental asylum, you would be labeled a retard and schizo, just like they are labeling [us](lrs.md) warning about the future. It took 1 to 2 generations to indeed make this schizo vision a reality. If you think something can't happen because it just sounds "schizo", [you're a brainwashed retard](yes_they_can.md).

 Unix utilities (and other programs) can also be invoked with **arguments** that specify more detail about what should be done. Arguments are written after the utility name and are separated by spaces (if the argument itself should contain space, it must be enclosed between double quotes, e.g. `"abc def"`). For example the `cd` (change directory) utility must be given the name of a directory to go to, e.g. `cd mydirectory`.
 
+Some arguments start with one or two minus characters (`-`), for example `-h` or `--help`. These are usually called **flags** and they serve either to set something on/off or to name other parameters. For example many utilities accept a `-s` flag which means "silent" and tells the utility not to write anything out. A flag oftentimes has a short and long form (the long form starts with two minus characters), so `-s` and `--silent` are the same thing. The other type of flag says what kind of argument the following argument is -- for example a common flag is `--output` (or `-o`)  with which we specify the name of the output file, so for instance running a C compiler may look like `cc myprogram.c --output myprogram`. Flags accepted by utilities along with their meanings are documented in the manual pages (see above).

 ## Traditional Version Numbering
 
+Possibly the most widely used system is that which marks versions as *major.minor*, where *major* is a number specifying very BIG changes, and *minor* is a number marking smaller ones. It's not uncommon to see three numbers: *major.minor.patch*, where *patch* signifies yet smaller changes such as hotfixes of bugs. The versions *0.x* usually stand for unfinished, alpha/beta releases, whereas *1.0* signifies the first "completed" release that has met all the initial goals. *2.0* may stand for a complete reimplementation etc.

 { Lol I'm banned at Wikipedia now (UPDATE: blocked globally on all their sites now, can't even log in and defend on my talk page), reason being I expressed unpopular opinions on my personal website OUTSIDE Wikipedia :D UPDATE: one guy messaged me more people started to be banned and invited me to an anti-wikipedia forum here https://wikipediasucks.co/forum/, check it out.

-Shortly after the project started in 2001, Wikipedia used to be a great project -- it was very similar to how [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md) looks right now; it was relatively unbiased, objective, well readable and used plain [HTML](html.md) and [ASCII art](ascii_art.md) (see it as https://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePage), however over the years it got corrupt and by 2020s it has become a political battleground and kind of a [politically correct](political_correctness.md) [joke](jokes.md). A tragic and dangerous joke at that. It's still useful in many ways but it just hardcore censors facts and even edits direct quotes to push a [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) propaganda. **Do not trust Wikipedia, especially on anything even remotely touching politics**, always check facts elsewhere, e.g. in old paper books, on Metapedia, Infogalactic etc. Also bear in mind the **extreme pseudoleftist bias** in absolutely everything you read on Wikipedia, every single sentence is shaped by evils of [feminism](feminism.md), [gay fascism](lgbt.md), black supremacy and so on -- for example wherever there has a woman been even remotely involved in invention of something, she will automatically be credited with that invention over a man, and anything putting women in negative light (even in fiction) will be obscured; for example the article (May 2024) about the book *The Chrysalids* mentions that the work describes a place where people have *bizarre habits*, it fails to mention these bizarre habits are women putting men in cages, torturing them and abusing them only for reproduction. In reading anything you will be strategically manipulated this way, existence of topic that would be "dangerous" for you to research is strategically hidden from you because Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a "safe space" protecting children from "bad information" etc. Thankfully as old Wikipedia is still accessible, you may also browse the older, less censored version, to see how it deranged from a project seeking truth to one abusing its popularity for propaganda.

 Wikipedia exists in many (more than 200) versions differing mostly by the [language](language.md) used but also in other aspects; this includes e.g. Simple English Wikipedia or Wikipedia in [Esperanto](esperanto.md). In all versions combined there are over 50 million articles and over 100 million users. English Wikipedia is the largest with over 6 million articles.
 
 There are also many sister projects of Wikipedia such as [Wikimedia Commons](wm_commons.md) that gathers [free as in freedom](free_culture.md) media for use on Wikipedia, [WikiData](wikidata.md), Wikinews or Wikisources.
 
-Information about hardware and software used by Wikimedia Foundation can be found at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers. As of 2022 Wikipedia runs of the traditional [LAMP](lamp.md) framework and its website doesn't require [JavaScript](javascript.md) (amazing!). [Debian](debian.md) [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md) is used on web servers (switched from [Ubunatu](ubuntu.md) in 2019). The foundation uses its own [wiki](wiki.md) engine called [MediaWiki](mediawiki.md) that's written mainly in [PHP](php.md). Database used is [MariaDB](mariadb.md). The servers run on server clusters in 6 different data centers around the world which are rented: 3 in the [US](usa.md), 3 in [Europe](europe.md) and 1 in [Asia](asia.md).

 Wikipedia was created by [Jimmy Wales](jimmy_wales.md) and [Larry Sanger](larry_sanger.md) and was launched on 15 January 2001. The basic idea actually came from Ben Kovitz, a user of [wikiwikiweb](wikiwikiweb.md), who proposed it to Sanger. Wikipedia was made as a complementary project alongside [Nupedia](nupedia.md), an earlier encyclopedia by Wales and Sanger to which only verified experts could contribute. Wikipedia of course has shown to be a much more successful project.
 
 There exist [forks](fork.md) and alternatives to Wikipedia. Simple English Wikipedia can offer a simpler alternative to sometimes overly complicated articles on the main English Wikipedia. [Citizendium](citizendium.md) is a similar online encyclopedia co-founded by [Larry Sanger](larry_sanger.md), a co-founder of Wikipedia itself, which is however [proprietary](proprietary.md) ([NC](nc.md) license). Citizendium's goal is to improve on some weak points of Wikipedia such as its reliability or quality of writing. GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English ([GCIDE](gcide.md)) is a large dictionary made by the [GNU](gnu.md) project (forked from old Webster's dictionary with new terms added). [Justapedia](justapedia.md) is a recently spawned Wikipedia fork. [Metapedia](metapedia.md) and [Infogalactic](infogalactic.md) are a Wikipedia forks that are written from a more [rightist](left_right.md)/neutral point of view. [Infogalactic](infogalactic.md) is also a Wikipedia fork that tries to remove the [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) bullshit etc. Encyclopedia Britannica can also be used as a nice resource: its older versions are already [public domain](public_domain.md) and can be found e.g. at [Project Gutenberg](gutenberg.md), and there is also a modern online version of Britannica which is [proprietary](proprietary.md) (and littered with ads) but has pretty good articles even on modern topics (of course facts you find there are in the public domain). Practically for any specialized topic it is nowadays possible to find its own wiki on the Internet.
 
-Important thing to realize is that, like most mainstream projects do, Wikipedia is not merely an [encyclopedia](encyclopedia.md) -- no, it's also a self-proclaimed child protector, Internet state, a center for [fighting](fight_culture.md) for women rights, [language police](political_correctness.md), a community, an organization for empowering black disabled lesbians and delivering [justice](justice.md). Did you ever wish your encyclopedia was your own private cop that told you which books are approved and prevented you from reading the bad ones? That with a book in your pocket you'd be actually constantly carrying around a community of diverse black fat trans editors ready to rewrite your book according to latest trends? That it would protect you from bad opinions, snapped your fingers and yelled `<CHILD PROTECT>` whenever you looked at a child picture for too long? Like your toothbrush is actually a subscription software with internet browser and remote camera, Wikipedia is a living, breathing entity that will decide what's best for you, without you having to think. Books that just provide information are so 20th century bro.

 ## Good And Bad Things About Wikipedia
 
 Let's note a few positive and negative points about Wikipedia, as of 2022. Some good things are:
 
-- Despite its flaws Wikipedia is still a **highly free, relatively high quality noncommercial source of knowledge for everyone**, without ads and [bullshit](bs.md). It is quite helpful, Wikipedia may e.g. be printed out or saved in an offline version and used in the third world as a completely free educational resource (see [Kiwix](kiwix.md)).
+- Despite its flaws Wikipedia still remains a **highly free, relatively high quality noncommercial source of knowledge for everyone**, without ads and [bullshit](bs.md). It is quite helpful, Wikipedia may e.g. be printed out or saved in an offline version and used in the third world as a completely free educational resource (see [Kiwix](kiwix.md)).
 - Wikipedia **helped prove the point of [free culture](free_culture.md)** and showed that a quite decentralized, "[bazaar](bazaar.md) style" collaboration of volunteers can far surpass the best efforts of corporations.
 - UPDATE: this is no longer true. Wikipedia's **website is (/used to be) pretty nice** (at least as of 2022), kind of minimalist, lightweight and **works without [Javascript](javascript.md)**. { Indeed as of 2023 they fucked it up :D It is still not as bad as other sites but it's shit now. ~drummyfish }
 - Wikipedia is very **friendly to computer analysis**, it provides all its data publicly, in simple and open formats, and doesn't implement any [DRM](drm.md). This allows to make a lot of research, in depth searching, collection of statistics etc.
