    In Switzerland this fictional imputed rent is actually extremly real. We have to pay taxes as if it was earned income. So you live in your fully owned flat, pretend to rent it to y…

    How is code being "stolen" here? It's FOSS code that is being copied.

    That doesnt matter for the 10-k report. Its a fully consolidated financial statement. They have absolutely trash operating margins. If you look at their customers (artists and visi…
