Less [retarded](retard.md) software (LRS) is a specific kind of [software](software.md) aiming to be a truly good technology maximally benefiting and respecting its users, following the philosophy of extreme [minimalism](minimalism.md) ([Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md), [suckless](suckless.md), [KISS](kiss.md), ...), [anarcho pacifism](anpac.md), [communism](communism.md) and [freedom](free_software.md). The term was invented by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md).
The symbol of LRS is a heart ([love](love.md)), the peace symbol (pacifism, nonviolence) and A in circle ([anarchism](anarchism.md)).
By extension LRS can also stand for *[less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md)*, a kind of ideal society which we aim to achieve with our technology.
LRS is a set of ideas and kind of a mindset, a philosophy, though it tries to not become a traditional movement or even something akin a centrally organized group; by [anarchist](anarchism.md) principles it sees following people and groups of people as harmful, it always advocates to only follow ideas and to associate loosely. Therefore it tries to only be a concept that will remain pure, such as for example that of [free software](free_software.md), but NOT an organization, such as for example the [FSF](fsf.md), which will always become corrupt.
As a symbol of LRS we sometimes use heart ([love](love.md)), the peace symbol (pacifism, nonviolence) and A in circle ([anarchism](anarchism.md)), but these only serve as a universal identifier of the philosophy, not as a flag or anything similar -- as flags are a sign of [fascism](fascism.md), the official LRS flag is defined to be a completely transparent square which has side length of one billion light years -- this is so that the flag cannot practically be manufactured and even scaled down versions will hardly serve the purpose of a flag (ideal LRS flag would be invisible). The official international LRS day is every day in the year and it always takes precedence over any other cause whose day it is supposed to be.

## Definition
The definition here is not strict but rather [fuzzy](fuzzy.md), it is in a form of ideas, style and common practices that together help us subjectively identify software as less retarded.
