Ask HN: How to avoid Windows Recall as a Linux user?

If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft’s Windows Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

I don't think there's much you can really do except to express your concerns to the people you correspond with.

This isn't a new problem: it's a problem with gmail, too. You and I can avoid using it directly, but it may well be that the people we want to send emails to are using it.
