Linux people, *please* understand this. Sometimes people need to run Windows.

They’re allowed to complain about Windows ads, or tracking, or any other enshittification problems, without you saying “use Linux” every time.

@jaypatelani @rubenerd can you just print it out and sign it by hand? (This is why I am strongly in favour of a right to analogue life.)
