Describe the bug you encountered:

2024-0506-1955 fd10 error on windows7

Rust language developers betrayed Windows 7 users by removing the feature to build binaries for this OS. They believe that since Microsoft has stopped supporting this OS (not because new versions bring something revolutionary, but to make money on sales), then they should follow. However, the support is not a determining factor for all users — this OS is sufficiently polished to perform its functions and remains in demand outside relatively well-off places. For example, C language developers understand this and their compilers do not require a new OS. The good hammer continues to hammer regardless of whether the warranty has expired.

This puts the authors of FD, a program written in Rust, in a difficult position because they need to either spit in the face of all those users outside the so-called golden billion who relied on FD all these years, or find a way to compile it (Tier3? Rust9x?).
