But sending people to gulags is not the only way to ensure ideological consistency.

Of course getting people over from reddit is nice, but honestly the exact same thing can happen here as well. We'll always depend on the integrity of the people with mod status.

As big as whatever I'm consuming hasn't been consumed yet or reached 3.0 ratio.

I wish Lemmy were searchable better. The search function actually works decently well, but it's not on the same level of actual search engines, it doesn't seem to look for related/similar terms and also relevancy doesn't seem right.

Weird, I don't use any add-ons and the subscription page by default works exactly like I think you want.

Aren't they legally required to indicate that an ad is playing? Should be almost trivial to detect and I don't know how they'd get around that.

But what classes as excessive?

That's a good question, one that I have not defined for myself perfectly.

I think part of it is the nature of the transaction. When you sell something off your Etsy shop, you create a thing, you sell the thing, you can't sell the thing again. A shop like Steam continuously takes money from you for the exact same service. Of course it takes money to run the servers and any other running costs, and I'm not saying those shouldn't be covered. But theoretically, if they have set their automated systems well, Steam runs by itself without intervention from anyone. Whoever owns Steam basically makes money on their sleep. They created it once and it continually makes money for them.

When a game sells well, this game will be downloaded more often, so the relative load/usage of the Steam servers increases. So it is fair to take more money from games that sell better, so tying it to "amount of games sold" makes sense. But does the load on the Steam servers really change if a game is sold for 50€ or 10€? No, what really matters is the size of the game, the amount of updates the developers push and so on. So tying the costs to sale price is also not necessarily fair.

Apart from that, it's hard to define something as "excessive" without comparing it to other things. As I mentioned once, I don't think a teacher is doing a less valuable job than a CEO of some big company. Most jobs are benefitting others/society in some way, so I actually value most jobs roughly the same. In conclusion, I would define as "excessive" anything that is a large deviation from mean income, completely arbitrarily I might say if your income is more than double the mean, it would be excessive.

All profit is excessive by nature, isn’t it?

I don't necessarily think so. People die, so their accumulated wealth disappears or is transferred to someone else. Human beings are made to acquire more resources. But death is a natural endpoint to this process. There is probably an equilibrium point of profit that is sustainable with a certain population.

I'm sorry, but distinguishing between different concepts is forbidden here. You go straight to jail.

I guess that makes more sense now that I see an example. I just can't fathom how any Apple artist thought they made a "grinning face with smiling eyes" when they looked at that image. It's "grimacing face with smiling eyes" very obviously. I thought all representations were like the others in this example - they all look like a "grinning face with smiling eyes". They look different but it doesn't matter.

I still think though that if there weren't obvious mistakes like this, it doesn't matter how the "grinning face with smiling eyes" exactly looks, or any other emoji for that matter.

What exactly does it matter to be stuck with old emojis? Why is it important for them to be perfectly uniform?

My Android /e/os, a fork of lineage os, also has a built-in one.

So yeah OP, I guess the question is, why does your phone not have a built-in PDF reader, not why android doesn't have one :D
