That is from Thomas Jefferson:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." https://www.quotedb.com/quotes/2074

Republicans do seem to be all about the founding fathers, so I guess they're just trying to make it possible to follow his guidance by proactively providing some tyrants.

Finally got around to reading the article, and this part was a pleasant surprise:

...there’s a lot more on the way in the coming weeks, including the return of Game Informer’s print magazine. Our intent is to bring back the magazine bigger and better than it was before, and add a host of membership and subscription benefits, including an expanded scope to our videos, streaming, and feature coverage, while also broadening the range of experts and partnerships we tap to bring you those perspectives.

To your point, it remains to be seen if they'll succeed, but it sounds like they are at least trying.

It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.

It wasn't really that big a deal. Most of them have more in common than they have differences. If anything, I experienced fewer problems in the age of SVN. It has fewer options than git, but it's also a lot more intuitive and easy to learn, which counts for a lot when your largest limiting factor is your coworkers.

Not saying I want the world to go back to that, just pointing out the hate is really overblown.

I never understood the SVN hate. Then, as now, the problems are almost never caused by the tools, and almost always caused by the people misusing them.

Yeah, they're definitely trying to fix the government. "Fix" as in "neuter".

Unfortunately, I think that 4th branch is supposed to be the people.

So say we all.

Seriously. "It's fine to mug people as long as you do it confidently and in broad daylight!"

Detachment is a privilege that presumes other people won't harm you.

So, what you're saying is... You agree with me? Great!

From Duracell to Powerhouseofthecell.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.
