Transcription:

An image of a social media post:

Linus Torvalds @torvalds 10 hours ago

I'm clearly a master of SEO.

When I google for "cold dark place filled with sadness and despair" right now (with the quotes), google gives me exactly one result - my Linux kernel github repository.

I will call my new hobby "Reverse Emo Googlewhacking".

You're welcome.

I hope Lemmy adds alt text like Mastadon and Pixelfed

[-] sotolf@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

That would be great yeah :)

[-] canpolat@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I didn't know that when one adds an image it would override the URL. Even though the post contains the URL, clicking on the title only shows the image. I included the URL in the post body, but it's not as visible, unfortunately.

No worries :) Just transcribing for fun mostly, and as a substitute for having done it on "transcribers of reddit" for quite a while, and it's nice to be able to help people who may need a transcription :)

Linus' anger management looks to be working out for him - that's four sentences in a row without any fucks in them. Keep on keeping it chill, big man.

Instead of the Internet consisting of 5 giant websites filled with screenshots of the other 4, I guess this is a win? A Lemmy post on the fediverse consisting of a screenshot of a Akkoma fediverse post?

Hm, when I google this, I get Edgar Allen Poe’s the Raven.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Third of only five results for me

Only result for me is the repo. Along with the helpful prompt:

people also ask: how old is Torvalds? Why did Linus Torvalds created Git?

Very weird that the grammar mistake is part of the prompt

No results on duckduckgo. It was on google, but it was the 6th result.

[-] nyan@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

duckduckgo gives me no results at all for “cold dark place filled with sadness and despair”. So I guess it's either a more hopeful search engine . . . or just respecting the quotes properly. ;)
