BANANA!

USA is a BANANA republic. Where the rulers don’t give a shit about the law.l

Because formally NATO is still NATO.
China, Russia, and South Africa are not BRICS and nothing in the article you linked indicated the exercise had anything to do with the BRICS cooperation that is 100% economic.

But when Brazil and India aren’t in that, it’s per definition not BRICS, the article state the exercise is by 3 BRICS members, but it is not BRICS. BRICS is way bigger now than the original 5 members.
Calling this a BRICS exercise is exclusively something that exist in the head of the author of the article, and there is absolutely zero reference to any BRICS defense pact.
Even if China, Russia, and South Africa make a defense pact, it is per definition not BRICS without including Brazil and India.

Brazil and India are among the founders of BRICS They are the B and I of the acronym.
The cooperation is economic and has no defense aspect AFAIK. So what BRICS related security drills would that be?

Same here, responding from Denmark.

the misuse of the word “propaganda”,

No I use the word propaganda because the accusations are based on falsehoods.

I’ll take that as a “Yes”.

My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for

Most of those new features are absolutely amazing, like the instant translation of almost any page,
Creating tags for images that don’t have them for blind people, is an amazing feature for blind people.
If you don’t like them you don’t have to use them. You don’t get to dictate that others shouldn’t have them on false accusations.
Some of us like a feature-full high quality browser, that respect our privacy.

their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain,

OK and which functions are that?
You’re just riding the AI hate train and think that’s the default correct position. And sometimes it is, but not in this case.
And guess again, because Mozilla is actually using AI for things that are both useful and noninvasive.
So why don’t you piss off and go use a terminal browser instead if that’s what you want.
Alternatively there are a lot of decent open source browsers you can use, that don’t have the advanced features of Firefox.

About time someone came with an offer, thank you I think I deserve it. And I’m sure you will be very happy with the speed improvements I can provide.

Is this the same fast to ship but hard to maintain argument we’ve seen a thousand times already?
It’s not a paradox, but a very typical result of using “fast” solutions.

Again, propaganda against Firefox with no basis.
What is your claim? That because it uses AI, it inherently bad?
The AI functions implemented by Firefox are generally run locally. They are NOT sent to some central server, and they are NOT stored, and they are NOT used for biometrics.

You show NOTHING, and yet you act like you made a point???
You are as much part of the problem as Microsoft and Google.

Absolutely.

It’s amazing how fast AI can provide an answer to almost anything.
It’s like I’m extremely fast at calculating.
If you ask what is 257 time 389 I can give you an answer in a split second.
4809!! It’s obviously wrong, but it’s FAST!

Except it’s not, all the complaints about Firefox are moronic, none of them have any merit.
Don’t fall for the false propaganda or morons who think they found a problem when they have no understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
I’ve seen dozens of claims about bad things Mozilla does, and every time I investigate the issue, it turns out there is nothing there, or at most some sort of misunderstanding that is blown out of proportions.

You can dislike Firefox as much as you want as a use case. But Firefox is still 100% above board with everything they do, there are zero shenanigans, but there is insane propaganda against them.

Firefox has some crazy cool new functions IMO, and they are generally completely non invasive.

Chrome is not a solution, it is a major part of the problem.
Switch to Firefox, and preferably switch to Firefox on Linux.

Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.

It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.

Constitutional crisis, economic crisis, and a global political crisis.

People rarely openly admit it’s going badly for them.
Most Americans think they are temporarily inconvenienced future billionaires.
You are naive if you think what you describe is the general picture.

The guy is an absolute psycho for shooting someone 6 times because he thinks she is trying to scam him.
This is exactly the kind of psychos that welcome a fascist regime.
May he live long and suffer through the rest of his life.
Just seeing the fear and worry on her face and whole body language is heartbreaking, while the old psycho is in absolute zero danger, but plays prosecutor, judge and executioner and kills her in cold blood.
