50,000 most common passwords

developers having powerful development hardware is actively harmful to usable software existing
there is literally an order of magnitude of power difference between the machines many developers use to create their software and the machines that their users will have - and that's assuming the users have brand new (but average) hardware
today's developers write software pretending that there will always be infinite resources, because the computers we have *let* them do that without consequences
@ky0ko I remember John Romero saying how useful it is to have a more powerful machine to develop on (hence why #Doom and #Quake were developed on NeXT), but he also said that every Dev should have a minimum-spec consumer machine right next to their workstation, to make sure it still works even on the lowest hardware.
But instead, we have the current versions of #Microsoft Office that can't even run properly on a 2 GHz laptop with 8 GB of RAM. >:(

The Register covered my article announcing @linuxjournal closing and included a number of quotes from my first goodbye that add extra context. https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/08/08/linux_journal_closes_again_editor_says_os_buried_under_proprietary_software/
Today Linux Journal shut its doors for good. All staff were laid off and the company is left with no operating funds to continue in any capacity... https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-journal-ceases-publication-awkward-goodbye
I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here:

Have you seen this list of alternatives to Amazon's offerings? Not all entirely free/open, but definitely some options to say "not Amazon"
15 years ago, EFF's @doctorow told Microsoft:
1. That DRM systems don't work
2. That DRM systems are bad for society
3. That DRM systems are bad for business
4. That DRM systems are bad for artists
5. That DRM is a bad business-move
He was right.
