Owning a home has rarely been this much more expensive than renting

  • Property taxes are still partly tax deductible. Also even at my low mortgage rate of 3%, I get about $450/mo. back via the mortgage interest tax deduction, worth about $300/mo. over the standard deduction IIRC. I am not sure if they factor these things into the 14% number.

    • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • Lots of babies are born 9 months after major power outages. I hope you enjoyed your company.

    • What if people pronounced the word TWO without the silent W?

    Jump

  • By the argument, is the w in "two" actually silent? What would it sounds like when pronounced? I think it would sound like "two" already does.

    • Epic Allows Internet Archive To Distribute For Free ‘Unreal’ & ‘Unreal Tournament’ Forever

    Jump

  • Allow the Internet Archive to preserve a DRM free version. Forever and irrevocably.

    • Email is still great for DMs if you only use it for talking to individuals, and not to sign up to things

    Jump

  • The easiest way is with mail in a box. That's what I used! You can message me if you'd like. I have a blog post with additional notes I'll send you.

  • Dang good guys, Epic. Rare to see anything good from the big gaming companies.

    Valve, you're up…you just celebrated 20 years of Half Life 2…

  • I feel you. I have a Gmail address for account logins, shopping, social media (Lemmy, Mastodon, LinkedIn). I have my own email domain and server for people I actually want to communicate with. Ever since I set it up a few months ago I've been enjoying email so much more again.

    • Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says

    Jump

  • Maybe Mastodon will end up like ham radio vs. Sirius XM. But at least that means we won't have Joe Rogan or whoever they have over there.

    • Gen Zedders might just be the most risk-averse generation on record

    Jump

  • Sorry to say that from the Gen Z I know they're even more into big brands and "collabs". It's disheartening how much more deeply they've been sucked into the big corporate marketing machine.

    • Elon Musk's new 'department' seeks 'super high-IQ' staff for unpaid jobs

    Jump

  • He doesn't genuinely think that's true. It's all a grift.

    This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board.

    So we'll see how long before the VC enshittification begins.

    Edit: do you have to be male to be a cryptobro? Cryptosis?

    Prior to joining Blockchain Capital, Kinjal was a Senior Consulting Analyst at Fidelity Investments in Boston. At Fidelity, Kinjal was an integral part of the strategic team developing Fidelity’s blockchain initiatives, as well as the strategy behind new asset management products.

    Kinjal earned her B.S. in Quantitative Economics from Tufts University. She is a co-founder of Komorebi Collective, an investment DAO, funding female and non-binary founders in crypto.

  • Cool so a replacement that also has crypto bros behind it. Isn't it fun how Mastodon doesn't even get mentioned in major media?
