[22:01] IsambardPrince Panic, overexplaining things, apologizing (admitting guilt). [22:01] IsambardPrince They don't like people who talk like a lawyer because they don't encounter it much. [22:01] IsambardPrince You get good at what you encounter a lot.

[22:10] IsambardPrince While it may sound insane, there's more of an upside if you make a bet like this and win. [22:10] IsambardPrince Right now 2% are betting that Darren Bailey wins for Governor of Illinois. [22:10] TR News (NEW): I tested 3 popular Linux distros on an aging ThinkPad T480, and 1 clearly came out on top https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/11/03/I_tested_3_popular_Linux_distros_on_an_aging_ThinkPad_T480_and_.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/11/03/I_tested_3_popular_Linux_distros_on_an_aging_ThinkPad_T480_and_.gmi [22:10] TR Bot Tux Machines I tested 3 popular Linux distros on an aging ThinkPad T480, and 1 clearly came out on top [22:11] IsambardPrince While the polling says Pritzker is ahead by 11-15 percentage points, it's not impossible that Bailey could pull an upset. [22:11] IsambardPrince And if that happens you stand to win about $50 per $1 you bet. [22:11] IsambardPrince It has better odds than the lottery. [22:12] IsambardPrince I think Talarico will probably win the Texas Senate race. [22:12] IsambardPrince Beto O'Rourke came within single digits against a much more respoectable Republican candidate than Ken Paxton. [22:12] IsambardPrince And Latino voters are showing up in record numbers and are not happy about the ICE encounters and family members being disappeared. [22:13] IsambardPrince And then there's the backdrop of a national economy in ruins and high gas and diesel prices that trace directly to Trump's tariffs and war. [22:13] IsambardPrince Trump will likely have caused Texas to get flipped but he'll definitely never admit it or apologize to anyone. [22:14] IsambardPrince He'll blame the whole thing on Paxton or "cheating".

A third of the Senate is up every 2 years to prevent it from turning over completely. [22:16] IsambardPrince But in this cycle, a lot of very red states are showing the Democrat with a significant lead or a fighting chance. [22:17] IsambardPrince If they actually do this well, the ones that won this year will be in office for 6 years. [22:17] IsambardPrince Which means that it puts them within striking distance of 60 seats in 2028. [22:19] IsambardPrince To pull this off, the Democrats need to find a massively popular candidate that has a coattails effect. Like Obama in 2008. [22:20] IsambardPrince It's hard to imagine that Trump's policies rotting the economy for yet another 2 years makes voters feel better about him than they do now. [22:20] IsambardPrince Thanks to his policies, people are already running out of money and resorting to borrowing to pay utilities, healthcare, and groceries. [22:22] IsambardPrince Trump has likely thrown the midterms due largely to a trifecta. The Tariffs caused inflation to surge and no net jobs growth for two years. The War in Iran brought gas up to $5 a gallon and diesel to $7, when they had been sitting at $2.25 for gas and $3.10 for diesel. [22:22] IsambardPrince And bad endorsements like Ken Paxton, who could win a primary, but immediately knock out a proven incumbent and replace him with a madman who is popular only within his own party. [22:25] IsambardPrince Voters reward different things when you're a Senator than when you're a state Attorney General. [22:26] IsambardPrince The Attorney General wins by filing political lawsuits against the federal government. [22:26] IsambardPrince A Senator wins by showing how they will consistently score federal money for their state. [22:26] IsambardPrince The TEA Party wasn't long lived because take Alaska for example. [22:27] IsambardPrince Ted Stevens died, Mark Begich (a Democrat) replaced him. [22:27] IsambardPrince As a Democrat, Begich kept bringing in money for Alaska. [22:27] IsambardPrince But then that guy, what was his name, anyway, very "fiscally conservative". [22:27] IsambardPrince Suddenly all the money stops. [22:27] IsambardPrince He didn't last lont. [22:27] IsambardPrince *long [22:28] IsambardPrince He won the primary in 2010, Joe Miller. [22:29] IsambardPrince But then Lisa Murkowski won a write in campaign because Alaska depends heavily on the federal government. [22:29] IsambardPrince And Miller platformed "stopping federal earmarks", and without those, Alaska's economy basically dies. [22:30] IsambardPrince At the time of the 2010 election, federal spending accounted for roughly 35% of Alaska's entire economy. [22:30] *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:30] IsambardPrince There's even a case that we shouldn't have bought Alaska even though the Russians practically gave it to us. [22:30] IsambardPrince It's cost so much since then that it's worth less than we've spent on it. The idea is maybe Canada would have taken it. [22:31] IsambardPrince We still get a buffer against Russia but Canada hemmorhages money on Alaska not us.

Sure, the distro might be systemd-free and all that, but while the absence of that "elephant" does make a difference, you won't really be able to do much beyond using the machine as a glorified typewriter. [23:22] parsifal I once managed to get idle usage down to 95MB on a machine with 4GB of RAM, running Arch, IceWM, and X11. It sounds great, but the moment you open a browser, thats it -> the 95 MB idyll evaporates like a mirage in the desert. [23:22] parsifal Forget doing anything remotely demanding. If you just look at your desktop and wallpaper, you might be satisfied and impressed. This was at least 8-10 years ago. [23:22] parsifal Long gone are the days when the choice of distribution and the optimizations applied to it actually mattered. Nowadays, such optimizations are irrelevant, as software has become heavy, demanding, and resource-intensive. [23:22] parsifal Or, to be as objective as possible > they still do, but the result is a lot of effort and time spent for a mediocre, compromise outcome, and this definitely doesn't apply to something with 3GB of RAM. [23:23] MinceR strange, when my PC had 32 MB of RAM, it was usable for a lot more than a glorified typewriter [23:23] MinceR but then, there was no systemd, GNU/Linux wasn't a bloat parade, and the web wasn't as "modern" either. [23:25] parsifal Yes, and how many years ago was that? [23:25] MinceR something like 26 [23:26] parsifal Ah, I see ;) [23:57] IsambardPrince MinceR, Idaho has a state ballot question asking which gun should be the official gun of Idaho. [23:57] IsambardPrince I replied: "I'd choose the M1 Garand. It killed way more Nazis than the other ones on this list." [23:59] MinceR :>
