I second this suggestion. I have an old touchscreen PC from about 2001 with a Via Eden CPU, which is an incredibly feeble low-power processor that lacks some instructions that were common even in 32-bit days, and Antix was the only reasonably modern distro I could get to run on it.
Trump would be a disaster, but these last-minute hopeful headlines just smack of desperation. I just saw another one saying Harris had “suddenly jumped into the lead” because one model put here at 50.015% of the vote. It’s nothing to be thrilled about, especially with the Republicans set to employ every underhanded tactic they can to steal the victory. In any normal country there would be no competition between these two, but this is the USA.
The headline is misleading.
Out of 80,000 simulations, Harris won in 50.015 percent of cases, while Trump won in 49.65 percent of cases, per Silver’s model. Some 270 simulations resulted in a 269-269 Electoral College tie.
So a better headline would be “Simulations show Harris and Trump are equally likely to win the election.” The difference between them is insignificant.
And when you factor in all the underhand cheating tactics the Republicans have up their sleeve, the Democrats’ tendency to cave, and the Supreme Court’s bias, Trump looks a lot more likely to win than Harris.
They’re not thinking that far ahead. They’re thinking “how can I make the lines go up this quarter?”
No doubt many of them understand that you need people with enough money to buy products or the economy stagnates. But they don’t see it as their problem right now. Their problem right now is to make the line go up by any means they can. It’s similar to how the owners must understand that climate change will fuck everyone if left unchecked, but they don’t see it as their own problem right now, so none of them take any steps to avoid disaster. Capitalism doesn’t contain mechanisms for coordinating actions towards the greater good. Instead it creates many “tragedy of the commons” type situations.
Yeah trump is planning on winning by getting the votes.
Did you mean to put a “not” in there?
If his party wins, no one will vote again ever. Or if they do it will be in a sham election.
The only thing they really want to conserve is privilege.
Well that’s a start, but not enough in itself to fix the problem. He could have done more, and we wouldn’t be looking at a Supreme Court eager to support Trump’s re-election.
“As charged, Skyler Philippi believed he was moments away from launching an attack on a Nashville energy facility to further his violent white supremacist ideology, but the FBI had already compromised his plot,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.
More MAGA terrorism.

Why did Joe Biden do nothing to rebalance the Supreme Court in all his 4 years of being President?
It’s going to drag on longer than that, if it’s not a clear Republican victory from the outset.
Conservatism is poison. It’s time humanity moved past it.
Making cycling more difficult and adding hugely expensive roads and tunnels to encourage more fossil fuel vehicles. As usual, Conservatives head in the opposite direction from where we need to go.
Honestly I can’t remember the details. It was a few months ago and it may have been just a temporary thing or a quirk of my installation. I think it had to do with some component relating to DBus not being present that I couldn’t figure out how to fix.
You get that, right?
I wonder how it feels to be talked to like this.
That’s the kind of responsible and sensible advice the Republicans would never give. It requires too much nuance.
They have been doing this since 2015. Why is anyone still doing business with them?
You don’t get to where he is by caring about other people.
Problem is, they always make new ones.
