“it'd just take a couple of landlords to have some morals”

So much for that idea.

The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.

It’s delicious.

The sad truth is that Firefox is on life support. Whether we like it or not it is not a player in this game.

Don’t even need that. Fifteen minutes To set up your own instance. The entirety of Lemmy still fits on a decent thumb drive.

There’s a difference between advocacy and evangelism.

There’s already at least one company doing it (based on a quick Google search).

Project much?

Interest deduction… meaning not 8% anymore. It doesn’t change the math, it changes the rate.

Not sure how zip code factors into “simple arithmetic” but you do you.

No, it’s not.

You’re rationale that 8% of 300,000 = 24,000 therefore $2,000/mo., by dumb luck, comes close at 8%.

• 12% of 300,00 = 36,000/12 = 3,000; actual is $3085/mo
• 8% of 300,000 = 24,000/12 = 2,000; actual is $2200/mo (not $2025)
• 4% of 300,000 = 12,000/12= 1,000; actual is $1432/mo
• 2% of 300,000 = 6,000/12 = 500; actual is $1108/mo
• 0% of 300,000 = 0/12 = 0; actual is $833/mo

It’s algebra, not arithmetic.

P = (r * A) / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))

where:

• P is the monthly payment
• A is the loan amount
• r is the monthly interest rate (APR/12)
• n is the total number of payments

For the most part, I don’t visit websites. I can parse through hundreds of articles in minutes and jump immediately to what interests me. Hell of a lot faster than hopping from site to site in the hopes there’s something of interest.
