@ -4,6 +4,12 @@ Technological minimalism is a philosophy of designing technology to be as simple
There is a so called *[airplane rule](airplane_rule.md)* that states a plane with two engines has twice as many engine problems than a plane with a single engine.
Up until recently in history every engineer would tell you that *the better machine is that with fewer moving parts*. This still seems to hold in mathematics, an area inhabited by the smartest people, where there is a tendency to look for the most minimal equations -- such equations are considered [beautiful](beauty.md). Science also knows this rule as the Occam's razor. In technology invaded by aggressive commercialization the situation is different, minimalism lives only in the underground as part of such philosophies as [suckless](suckless.md), [Unix](unix_philosophy.md), [KISS](kiss.md), countercomplex and, of course, [less retarded software](lrs.md). This is bad.
Up until recently in history every engineer would tell you that *the better machine is that with fewer moving parts*. This still seems to hold in mathematics, an area inhabited by the smartest people, where there is a tendency to look for the most minimal equations -- such equations are considered [beautiful](beauty.md). Science also knows this rule as the Occam's razor. In technology invaded by aggressive commercialization the situation is different, minimalism lives only in the underground and is ridiculed by the mainstream propaganda. Some of the minimalist movements, terms and concepts include:
- [suckless](suckless.md)
- [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)
- [KISS](kiss.md)
- [countercomplex](countercomplex.md)
- [less retarded software](lrs.md)
Under [capitalism](capitalism.md) technological minimalism dies with possibly only the "shallow" kind of minimalism ([pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md)) surviving. This so called "minimalism" tries to make things look minimal only aesthetically and hides ugly overcomplicated internals under this facade. [Apple](apple.md) is known for this [shit](shit.md).
