### How does LRS differ from [suckless](suckless.md), [KISS](kiss.md) and similar types of software?
### How does LRS differ from [suckless](suckless.md), [KISS](kiss.md), [free software](free_software.md) and similar types of software?
Sometimes these sets may greatly overlap and LRS is sometimes just a slightly different angle of looking at the same things. I have invented LRS as my own take on suckless software and then expanded its scope to encompass not just technology but the whole society -- as I cannot speak on behalf of the whole suckless community, I have created my own "fork" and simply set my own definitions without worrying about misinterpreting and misquoting someone else. LRS advocates very similar technology to that advocated by suckless, but it furthermore has its specific ideas and areas of focus. The main point is that **LRS is derived from an unconditional love of all life** rather than some shallow idea such as "[productivity](productivity_cult.md)". In practice this leads to such things as a high stress put on [public domain](public_domain.md) and legal safety, [altruism](altruism.md), selflessness, anti-[capitalism](capitalism.md), accepting software such as [games](game.md) as desirable type of software, NOT subscribing to the [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md), seeing [privacy](privacy.md) as ultimately undesirable etc. While suckless is apolitical and its scope is mostly limited to software, LRS speaks not just about technology but about the whole society -- there are two main parts of LRS: [less retarded software](lrs.md) and [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md).
Sometimes these sets may greatly overlap and LRS is at times just a slightly different angle of looking at the same things, but in short LRS cherry-picks the best of other things and is much greater in scope (it focuses on the big picture of whole society). I have invented LRS as my own take on suckless software and then expanded its scope to encompass not just technology but the whole society -- as I cannot speak on behalf of the whole suckless community (and sometimes disagree with them a lot), I have created my own "fork" and simply set my own definitions without worrying about misinterpreting, misquoting or contradicting someone else. LRS advocates very similar technology to that advocated by suckless, but it furthermore has its specific ideas and areas of focus. The main point is that **LRS is derived from an unconditional love of all life** rather than some shallow idea such as "[productivity](productivity_cult.md)". In practice this leads to such things as a high stress put on [public domain](public_domain.md) and legal safety, [altruism](altruism.md), selflessness, anti-[capitalism](capitalism.md), accepting software such as [games](game.md) as desirable type of software, NOT subscribing to the [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md), different view on [privacy](privacy.md), [cryptocurrencies](crypto.md) etc. While suckless is apolitical and its scope is mostly limited to software, LRS speaks not just about technology but about the whole society -- there are two main parts of LRS: [less retarded software](lrs.md) and [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md).
One way to see LRS is as a philosophy that takes only the [good](good.md) out of existing philosophies/movements/ideologies/etc. and adds them to a single unique [idealist](idealism.md) mix, without including [cancer](cancer.md), [bullshit](bullshit.md), errors, propaganda and other negative phenomena plaguing basically all existing philosophies/movements/ideologies/etc.
### Why this obsession with extreme simplicity? Is it because you're too stupid to understand complex stuff?
