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 e.g. in [mathematics](math.md), a field not yet so spoiled by huge commercialization and mostly inhabited by the smartest people -- 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](occams_razor.md). In technology invaded by aggressive commercialization the situation is different, minimalism lives only in the underground and is ridiculed by the mainstream propaganda.

In technology invaded by aggressive commercialization the situation is different, minimalism lives only in the underground and is ridiculed by the mainstream propaganda. Some the minimalist movements, terms and concepts at least somewhat connected to minimalism include (watch out for SJWs, [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md), Nazis etc., we don't automatically fully embrace all things on this list):
|

|
||||
- [suckless](suckless.md)
|
||||
- [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)
|
||||
- [KISS](kiss.md)
|

- [countercomplex](countercomplex.md), [permacomputing](permacomputing_wiki.md)
|

- [cat-v](cat_v.md)
|

- [bitreich](bitreich.md)
|

- [Collapse OS](collapseos.md)/[Dusk OS](duskos.md), [collapse](collapse.md) computing
|

- [less retarded software](lrs.md)
|

- [Bitreich](bitreich.md)
|
||||
- [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)
|

- [KISS](kiss.md) (see also [lightweight](lightweight.md))
|

- [countercomplex](countercomplex.md)
|
||||
- [permacomputing](permacomputing_wiki.md)
|

- [less is more](less_is_more.md)/[worse is better](worse_is_better.md)
|
||||
- [appropriate technology](appropriate_tech.md)
|
||||
- [reactionary software](reactionary_software.md), though bordering with [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md)
|
||||
- [plan9](plan9.md) and its followers and/or groups hanging around it, e.g. [cat-v](cat_v.md) or [100rabbits](100rabbit.md) (though bordering with [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md))

- [permacomputing](permacomputing.md) ([SJW](sjw.md) warning)

- [reactionary software](reactionary_software.md) (bordering with [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md))
|
||||
- [plan9](plan9.md), [openbsd](openbsd.md), KISS GNU/Linux and similar (however often obsessed with [bloatcryption](encryption.md), may contain [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md))
|

- [100rabbits](100rabbit.md) (beware of [SJW](sjw.md) poison)
|

- [small Internet](small_internet.md), [gopher](gopher.md), [gemini](gemini.md) (not worth checking out: SJW, pseudominimalism and bloatcryption), web 1.0, ...

Under [capitalism](capitalism.md) technological minimalism is suppressed in the mainstream as it goes against [corporate](corporation.md) interests, i.e. those of having monopoly control over technology, even if such technology is "[FOSS](foss.md)" (which then becomes just a cool brand, see [openwashing](openwashing.md)). We may, at best, encounter a "shallow" kind of minimalism, so called [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md) which only tries to make things appear minimal, e.g. aesthetically, and hides ugly overcomplicated internals under the facade. [Apple](apple.md) is infamous for this [shit](shit.md).
