google
v. [common] To search the Web using the Google search engine,
http://www.google.com. Google is highly esteemed among hackers for its
significance ranking system, which is so uncannily effective that many
hackers consider it to have rendered other search engines effectively
irrelevant. The name google has additional flavor for hackers because most
know that it was copied from a mathematical term for ten to the 100th power,
famously first uttered as googol by a mathematician's nine-year-old nephew.
Originally a web search company. Megacorporation with a surveillance
capitalist business model. Provides material support for drone wars
and internet censorship in China. Approves of gentrification.
Google are the new evil empire, replacing Microsoft as the number
one source of concentrated evil within corporate computing.
Hackers generally avoid Google products, particularly due to their
extensive privacy issues and proprietary nature. It's common to
hear hackers describe themselves as being "degoogled" or in the
process if "degoogling" (i.e. removing themselves from
participation in Google systems).
In its early history in the 2000s Google was loved by hackers,
and even hired some Free Software people. Over time though the
company engaged increasingly in practices which were
antithetical to hacker ethics.
