The text is on three lines and reads: "I'd battle dragons / to protect your sexy brain / access my password" The word "I'd" is not available in the magnet set, so is just an "I" and a "d" juxtaposed. Similarly, "dragons" is not available, so we see "dragon" and "s" juxtaposed. There is no punctuation, so we are meant to infer a period at the end of the second line.

Would it work? Maybe, but the person saying it has no idea what you do on Linux, whether the apps that you use run on Haiku (or have alternatives that you could switch to). Neither of you have a clear understanding of how much time and effort the switch would take, or what the network effects are that make switching hard.

                                                                      If you have actually engaged with them, understood their requirements fully, and have a migration path outlined for them, great. If you’re just being a dick, think about how that makes people perceive Linux users: Maybe that isn’t a great way of driving adoption.
