Putting the responsibility to understand legalese (and advanced concepts like rootkits) to such an extent on the end user is just straight gaslighting. Nobody has the required expertise to determine what an EULA actually says outside of the lawyer who wrote it, and even then, I wouldn't guarantee it.

Damn now we are misusing gaslighting as well to just mean "hiding something."

Ugh. As in blaming someone, casting aspersions on them for something that isn't their fault or responsibility. Words broaden in meaning. If you're going to quibble about semantics, I got nothing to say to you.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
