How to avoid Windows Recall as a Linux user? (slrpnk.net)

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?

Lol what if microsoft accidenttly gives people a way around that. Want to screenshot something from netflix? Just watch it then look where recall stores all the screenshots!
