It is when it’s a tool for the hacking community by the hacking community. This is NOT an end-user program. This is a tool made for OSINT, a crucial step in social engineering.
The hacking community is not going to budge on its culture for skiddies. It never has and never will. If you don’t understand what’s going on, the tool probably isn’t made for you.
If you don’t understand the technical implications, it is very dangerous for you to be fucking around with hacking tools, both on a technical and social level.
Edit to add: the hacking community is very different from the regular open source community. They do not want people who DGAF about technology or security barging in.
They do not want to make ‘destroy a persons life’ buttons for some random twat to push without thinking. In this particular case, they do not want to be indirectly responsible for some DV twat literally ending their spouse. The computer knowledge barrier is far from perfect but it’s enough to get in the way of most of the worst would-be abusers.
You would be surprised. There are a lot of wannabe hackers out there and many have the entitled attitude shown in OP’s posts.
Many of them are also completely alien to the command line as well. What are clear instructions to you and me may as well be Hylian to such skiddies.
I used to have a lot of old cybersec material from late 90s/early 2000s. A lot has changed since then but skiddies? They haven’t changed a bit.
fellas is it entitled to want to install a program without learning the intricacies of the command line

Yes if its a free program designed to run on the command line
