Yes, don't forget, be conscious, but for me is fine that Gnome take that money.

The situation remembers me in some capacity to a recent Atlanta episode when one of the black protagonists choose to accept the money/opportunity of a white rich dude, even knowing the whole troubled past about slavery, and knowing that he is scamming him.

The episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Man_and_the_Tree

By the way, the recent Gnome 42 was a milestone on UI/UX and performance improvements, that may be in part of that MS $ (oh, this donation is more recent, but you get my point).
