              No, that’s not how it works.

              Personally, I’ve been stuck using Windows because I need to use Outlook. /s

            I access Gmail and other Google apps through Firefox every day. They work great. You don’t need Chrome to use Google apps.

            Just use Thunderbird for your mails. In the last two years I did the switch from Gmail to a paid German Mail Provider. It takes some work but it’s possible. Google reads all your mails and if I am remembering correctly even third parties are allowed to read some mails. Now gmail is my new spam address :D

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A Russian soldier who suffered a severe eye injury while fighting in Ukraine recently released a video in which he said Moscow’s military command has ordered him to return to the war.

    The clip was shared to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday by WarTranslated, an independent media project that translates materials about the Russia-Ukraine war into English.

    WarTranslated frequently posts videos of Russian soldiers airing their grievances with Putin or Russia’s military leaders.

    On Saturday, WarTranslated’s X account shared a video that allegedly showed naked Russian soldiers being forced to stay in a pit because they refused to fight.

    In late June, the media project shared a video of a Storm-Z company from Russia’s military saying they would not return to what they called the “meat grinder” of the front lines.

    I’m a veteran of the SMO [special military operation] and was very badly wounded in the Bakhmut direction," the soldier said in the video, according to WarTranslated’s subtitles.

    The original article contains 407 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
