Honestly I'm more surprised that the border with Belgium is longer than the border with Spain

Perhaps you could get off your high open-source horse and try reading what I actually wrote. I'm talking about cramming in a million buttons and 0.1 line height so there are 20 comments shown at once. I don't need my mobile app to look like old.reddit.com, I need it to be actually readable and usable from a small screen. Ads (which are shown in the feed and can be scrolled past) have nothing to do with that.

Yes because ads are the only thing making a difference in the comfort of using an app. Comfortable design (that doesn't try to cram a million things into a small phone screen) and intuitive navigation mean nothing I guess.

Because apps with ads (specifically Sync that I use) have better UX and more features than anything open-source. Sorry but that's it.

One other thing is that mind control must not be a universal thing, so it should only happen when you want it. Otherwise, first it would break social interactions, second it would quickly become boring.

I see no downsides

I guess I can give you a link to how it looks packaged https://images.app.goo.gl/xAAtahXj3H6KYqtx5

It can also be St Claus (Grandfather Frost in Russia) or a bear

It's not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

I'd say хз (the last one) is still used very commonly, but the rest are a bit outdated and I barely see them anymore.

Another thing I thought was outdated but some of my friends use is shortening common words. "I like" would be "мне нравится" and some people save themselves a second and write it like "мне нрав".

And another thing I just thought of is "etc" equivalent in Russian, "и т.д.", this one is used officially in documents etc, it's a shortening of "и так далее", literally "and so on". And some people simplify it further by writing "итд" without spaces and dots.

A regular French thing I guess

Not only though. In September 2022, Azerbaijan attacked and occupied internationally recognized Armenian territory near Jermuk and still does to this day. When Armenia requested help to deal with the occupation, Russia's response was that it's not clear where the border is.

Now on Tap also used OCR. Both Google Lens and Now on Tap get the same bullshit results on any languages that are not Latin. Literally, Ж gets read as >|< by both exactly the same.
