politics @lemmy.world•Why Trump's 50 Year Mortgage Scheme Is an Even Worse Idea Than You Imagined
3·5 months agoA portion of the payment goes to interest and a portion goes to the principal. The first payment is almost all interest and a tiny bit of principal. The last is almost all principal and a tiny bit of interest.
As you reduce the principal you are paying less in interest each payment and more principal.
One way to greatly reduce your loan time is to pay one extra payment each year year having it go all to principal. That can cut 4-6 years of a 30 year mortgage.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Question: Does a higher refresh rate monitor make sense?English
2·5 months agoSo I’ve done research on what display traits work best for people for remote operation. An the answer is it varies a lot from person to person.
Everybody shows task improvement and likes it better as you increase to 30fps. From 30fps to 60fps most people improve and like the experience better but image quality starts to matter more. (we used different levels of compression for quality)
After 60fps most people benefit from better image quality and don’t get much from higher FPS . However there is a small group that shows a huge preference and improved preformance with higher fps even at the expense of much lower image quality.
The high FPS people responded instantly and vocally when we increased in the FPS during the test. So you may be in the high FPS group but you should be able to tell with a brief eyes on test of a high FPS system.

politics @lemmy.world•The GOP expected Democrats to relent on the shutdown by now. That isn't happening.
6·6 months agoManchin was a democrat from a very right wing state. He never hid his views and that he was going to be very right wing democrat.
Fetterman said he was a progressive, ran as a progressive, and went hard right wing when he got in office. Yeah the brain damage changed him but I think he was always a Republican in Democrat clothes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is now available for DownloadEnglish
5·8 months agoAt the time of myhardware upgrade it was only arch and nix that supported 6.14.
I’ve got mixed feelings about Fedora. I spent 10 years using a mix of Fedora, Red Hat, CEntOS, and Red Hawk at work so I’m very used to it.
However some of the decisions Red Hat the company have been making make me hesitant about it’s future. It also makes me feel like I’m at work when I use it at home.
It’s not a bad linux family at all and if I was setting up a production server CEntOS would probably be my choice.

7·8 months agoWoohoo. After a hardware upgrade that requires kernel 6.14 or newer I’ve been stuck on arch. Time to breakout the old drive and try an upgrade.
I think the update that came with the expansion changed body part damage. I’ve got 3 pawns in storage without stomachs. Every social fight seems to cost me a nose.

4·8 months agoWelcome to the world of translation where there is seldom a 1 to 1 translation. You often have to use something close but not correct or several words. It’s tough to decide which is better in a situation.
Stop doing what you enjoy and pay attention to what I want.
