LRS Wiki
LRS wiki, also Less Retarded Wiki, is a public domain (CC0) encyclopedia focused on truly good, minimalist technology, mainly computers software -- so called less retarded software (LRS) which should serve the people at large -- while also exploring related topics such as the relationship between technology and society, promoting so called less retarded society. The basic motivation behind LRS and its wiki is unconditional love of all life, and the goal of LRS is to move towards creating a truly useful, selfless technology that maximally helps all living beings as much as possible. As such the wiki rejects for example capitalist software (and capitalism itself), bloated software, intellectual property laws (copyright, patents, ...) censorship, pseudoleftism (political correctness, cancel culture, COCs ...) etc. It embraces free as in freedom, simple technology, i.e. Unix philosophy, suckless software, anarcho pacifism, racial realism, free speech, veganism etc.
LRS wiki was started by drummyfish on November 3 2021 as a way of recording and sharing his views, experience and knowledge about technology, as well as for creating a completely public domain educational resource and account of current society for future generations. It was forked from so called "based wiki" at a point when all the content on it had been made by drummyfish, so at this point LRS wiki is 100% drummyfish's own work; over time it became kind of a snapshot of drummyfish's brain and so the wiki doesn't allow contributions (but allows and encourages forks).
The wiki is similar to other wikis, for example in its topics and technical aspects it is similar to the earliest (plain HTML) versions of Wikipedia and wikiwikiweb (by which it was partly inspired). In tone and political incorrectness it is similar to Encyclopedia Dramatica, but unlike Dramatica LRS is a "serious" project.
