@ -141,7 +141,7 @@ This is a summary of some main guidelines on how an LRS supporter should behave
- **Adopt [defeatism](defeatism.md)**, that stops you from engaging in [fight culture](fight_culture.md) and makes you free to behave morally, you will seize to be the slave of bullshit necessary for winning the capitalist game and you'll no longer be working for [capitalism](capitalism.md).
- **Search for the [truth](truth.md)**. You won't find it easily, real truth is always censored and hidden (though often in plain sight), but you can train yourself to spot propaganda and see the red flags. You won't find truth through Google, use different sources, read old books, [encyclopedias](encyclopedia.md) and different points of view (e.g. contrast articles on [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) with those on [Infogalactic](infogalactic.d)). Learn foreign and old langages such as [Latin](latin.md) so that you can read untranslated and first hand historical accounts. **Question EVERYTHING** (absolutely everything, even this statement). Do not fall into traps such as [pseudoskepticism](pseudoskepticism.md). Train your mind to think critically, avoid [shortcut thinking](shortcut_thinking.md), question your own biased beliefs and wishes.
- **Reject harmful things like [proprietary](proprietary.md) software, [capitalism](capitalism.md), [copyright](copyright.md), [bloat](bloat.md), [work](work.md) etc.** Use and promote the ethical equivalents, i.e. [free software](free_software.md), [free culture](free_culture.md), frugality, [anarchism](anarchism.md) etc.
- **[Don't argue with retards](cant_argue_with_idiot.md)** with the goal of convincing him or winning the argument so that you feel good (the meaning of retard here is not someone with low IQ but rather someone who isn't really open to the ideas or LRS, though these are mostly the same people). It's literally wasted time/energy and it's bad for your mental health, it leads nowhere and achieves nothing. You literally can NOT convince anyone who is not open to being convinced, it is impossible, even if you have 100000 mathematical proofs, real world evidence, literature supporting you and anything you can imagine, you cannot logically convince someone who doesn't know how logic works or someone who simply emotionally isn't ready to change his mind. NO, not even if he's an "intellectual", has PhD and Nobel Prize, if he doesn't wanna see the truth, you cannot help him. As it's been said, trying to argue with an idiot is like trying to win a chess game against a pidgeon -- even if you're the world chess champion, the pidgeon will just shit on the board and think it's won. If you spot a retard, just leave -- don't try to have the last word or anything, even admit him "victory" in the argument and leave him in his world of delusion where he is the unappreciated Einstein, just do not waste an extra second on him, just leave and go do something better. { So many such idiots I have met I can't even count it -- pure stupid peasant aren't even that bad, the wost are the "above averge" intelligence reddit atheists who think they're smart. I literally had such people argue like "you like games therefore competition in society is good because games are part of society therefore society equals competition". Truly I'm not sure if those bastards are just trolling me into suicide or are really so fucking dumb :D ~drummyfish }
- **[Don't argue with retards](cant_argue_with_idiot.md)** with the goal of convincing him or winning the argument so that you feel good (the meaning of retard here is simply someone disagreeing with LRS). It's literally wasted time/energy and it's bad for your mental health, it leads nowhere and achieves nothing but make your more suicidal than you already are. You literally can NOT convince anyone who is not open to being convinced, it is impossible, even if you have 100000 mathematical proofs, real world evidence, literature supporting you and anything you can imagine, you cannot logically convince someone who doesn't know how logic works or someone who simply emotionally isn't ready to change his mind. In 99.999999999999999% cases you can tell if it's worth to talk to someone after his first reaction -- you present an idea, such as LRS, and if he just expresses disagreement, there is no point in communicating further, by the disagreement he has taken a defensive stance and will hold it for the rest of his life now, you have to go find someone else. NO, not even if he's an "intellectual", has PhD and thirty Nobel Prizes, if he doesn't wanna see the truth, you cannot help him.

- Similarly **avoid [toxic](toxic.md) communities**, don't argue, just leave, it's better to be alone than in bad company. Basically anything with a COC, language filter, SJW vibe, rainbow etc. isn't even more worth checking out.
- **Be a [generalist](generalism.md), see the big picture, study the whole world**, do not become overspecialized in the capitalist way. Sure you may become an expert at something, but it shouldn't make your view of the world too narrow. You may spend most of your time studying and programming computer compilers for example, but still do (and enjoy) other things, for example reading fiction, studying religions, languages, psychology, playing [go](go.md), making music, building houses, painting, doing sports, ...
- **Live your life as you want**, don't let someone else control your life and manipulate you, e.g. with feelings of guilt -- this often happens with your parents, partner, friends, culture, laws, ... This isn't an argument for self interest! On the contrary, most people nowadays will try to push you to following self interest or fascist goals that will also benefit them. You only have one life, others have theirs, so listen to advice but remember to always make your own decisions in important things. If you feel you don't want to go to school or that you don't want to work or that you want to do something that people despise or you want to do something that you've read is wrong, just do what you feel is best, even if it's a let down for your family or if it contradicts what the whole society is telling you.

Permacomputing wiki is a computer [minimalist](minimalism.md) wiki whose focus revolves around minimalist, ecology-friendly, [collapse](collapse.md) ready computing; in many ways the wiki is a lot similar to our [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md). It was started by [viznut](viznut.md), a famous [demoscene](demoscene.md) programmer, in 2022 and can now be accessed at https://permacomputing.net/. The wiki has some bits of cool stuff, but is sadly toxic, with [code of censorship](coc.md) and is littered with pseudoleftist fascism.
Permacomputing wiki is a computer [minimalist](minimalism.md) [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md)-infected wiki whose focus revolves around minimalist, ecology-friendly, [collapse](collapse.md)-ready computing; in many ways (especially when you take away the SJW fascism) the wiki is a lot similar to our [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md). It was started in 2022 and can now be accessed at https://permacomputing.net/, one of its famous users is [Viznut](viznut.md). The wiki has some bits of cool stuff, but is sadly [toxic](toxic.md), with [code of censorship](coc.md) and is littered with pseudoleftist fascism (about half of bullet points in their site rules is just pseudoleftist copy pasta gospel). The wiki also seem to be dying. { One theory is that it was created as a rage reaction to our wiki and the activity was mostly fueled by anger which by now had possibly burned out, and has also split the wiki community, demotivating contributors. ~drummyfish }
**Late 2023 sum up of the wiki's issues**: it seems like a few users just care about computers and try to write cool stuff about technology while clashing with a few political fanatics who just want to push pseudoleftist propaganda, ridiculously trying to find ways to somehow insert feminism and [LGBT](lgbt.md) to core principles of technology design :D It's really awkward and creates conflicts in articles e.g. about [Rust](rust.md) where feminists really want to push it as the best thing ever while the educated minimalist just can NOT ever accept Rust as a good language, not even by a huge margin. That's all just funny but what's more, there seem to be even [censorship](censorship.md) going on as for example the political activists seem to prefer shitty [Gemini](gemini.md) just for its political message and MUH ENCRYPTION (which, again, clashes with the need of minimalism) over superior [Gopher](gopher.md) (a clear preferred choice for true minimalist) and so they JUST DON'T MENTION GOPHER AT ALL, even in the article on [smol net](smol_internet.md) where it is just a key thing to mention and it's clear they just wanna hide its existence, this is literally like making an article about text editors and refusing to mention Vim in it because you're an Emacs fan :D For the same reason they probably also don't mention our [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md) which they most likely copied (or at very least would be worth a mention as a related resource). This is just a message to their readers that they're gonna blatantly manipulate them and so probably something that should make you go away. It's kind of all funny, sad and depressing that yet another promising thing is becoming a victim to the cancer just in such early stage.

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).
