What is Google

I have been trying to use od instead of hexdump to generate a random mac address, because coreutils contains od, trying od -N6 -tx1 -An
It's not working, I've given up.
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether `/usr/bin/hexdump -n6 -e '/1 "%2x"' /dev/urandom`
works.
So I have been surfing the search engines,
linux mac address hexdump -n6 -e /1 %02x
Results from Lycos Bing Yahoo Duckduckgo Yandex, definately make sense.
So I dipped into Google which I have not used for more than a decade.
Results from Startpage Google are totally deranged, one has to ask the question, pure evil?
And google are present at inner circle meetings of powerful governments during crisis like covid.
Super.

Re: What is Google

I find with google searches it helps if I always start with GNU/Linux ...

That tends to narrow it down quite a bit.

I try to stay away from any platform that censors the information that is available. Like youtube.. owned by google.

Re: What is Google

I thought it was obvious what Google is...

They are surveillance capitalism personified at its worst. Similar to microsoft and others.

Actually, as an edit, they are as bad as microsoft. Not worse or better.

Although at least they support coreboot development even if for ulterior reasons.

Beyond that? Not much I can glean off of.

Re: What is Google

Just the other week I see Microsoft briefly blipped as the richest company, says plenty.
Film, 2023, Total Trust, Jialing Zhang.
Big Data, Social Credit System China, facial recognition, iris recognition, biometrics.
This film was on regular TV in Britain last week, and I watched it.
I found it to be a phenominal self portrait, outstanding modern home cinematography by the courageous and brave 'dissidents,' produced and edited by the director, the soundscape is out of sight.
A gift of Chinese art and style.
I think it is certainly quite fair to say that the film succeeds in providing an exclusive and previously never possible intimate insight into the interior of China.

maybe British Empire karma is being between the American and Chinese hegemonic jerk offs, possibly a new Jerusalem between, America, young belligerent souls in a young nation on it's quest, China, continuous militaristic society for 6000 years.
New youth will bring a renaissance of cultural development, humanity, the problems of capitalism, quite devoid of culture, and militaristic society - really, the level of consciousness is below what qualifies for human.
