I quite like the Taos, One of my friends has one and it's roomier than most other crossovers in that segment.

Remember that this was YOUR family's company. Family businesses writ large definitely don't have a good reputation as far as their non-relative workers are concerned. At least with a megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses.

This does seem like a Tobi ideological thing, doesn't it? Ugh.

I wonder what's in it for Shopify. This seems like an odd thing for them to sponsor, or a very expensive FU to Google.

(sorry everyone else for going way off topic here)

The Tiguan is indeed nice! It drives pretty well and had enough cargo room to hold a bunch of musical instruments last time I needed to do that. It has gotten expensive, though. For my money I'd either buy a gently used one, or check out the Taos if you don't mind the slightly smaller size.

I'm no thermodynamics expert, but wouldn't this make your house warmer overall, unless the freezer is outside or in a garage/shed?

Free healthcare and more than a few weeks' maternity leave is capitalism. Communism is when billionaires and private real estate, and the more of those you have, the communismer it is.

Agreed. I wonder how many of them have actually been to China. I have, and it's almost comically un-communist. Most western democracies have far more robust social supports, and I'd even say it's easier to have a worker-owned business in the west than in China.

Chinese reselling is the most profitable business model. Etsy is a public company and must choose the most profitable business model.

This is a definition of capitalism contrived by someone looking to dunk on capitalism at any cost. BMW could be "profitable" if they started flooding the market with $20k cars... for a while.

Yeah, it's turning into Amazon, flooded by resellers of cheap Chinese shit. That does far more harm to the Etsy brand.

I don't think I've seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I'll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.

Now the social media platform is aiming for an IPO in the first quarter of 2024 with a valuation of $15 billion, and has been in talks with potential investors like Goldman Sachs and and Morgan Stanley, per Bloomberg.

Sorry if this community isn't the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?

This is on EndeavourOS (basically Arch)

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!

I have a network drive mounted to my computer (PopOS). I have read & write access to everything in the drive and can drag and drop files between two Nautilus windows, but if I try to drag a file from the network drive into an email for example, I get a popup about file permissions. Is it because flatpak apps don't inherit my user permissions?
