How to avoid Windows Recall as a Linux user? (self.privacy)

If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windoze 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?

Don't forget that while they managed the PR better, apple "Intelligence" also has access to damn near everything on your devices.

Yet there's no backlash because they're not so stupid as to say "we're gonna take screenshots as you go so we can improve your digital life kthxbye".

People also willing submit to the cult if Apple and just believe everything they say. People are likely more frequently forced to use windows due to work or just the lack of choice for less technically confident people.
