Transcription:

An image of a social media post:

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.

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 :)

You are doing a great work!

I hope Lemmy adds alt text like Mastadon and Pixelfed

Thank you :) Corrected

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?

We just sorted the entries and fields last release, so just out of a perverse sense of curiosity, I decided to see if we can keep things ordered for even just one release. The answer is "No. No we cannot", I suggest that all kernel developers will need weekly training sessions, involving a lot of Big Bird and Sesame Street. And at the yearly maintainer summit, we will all sing the alphabet song together. I doubt I will keep doing this. At some point "perverse sense of curiosity" turns into just a cold dark place filled with sadness and despair.

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.

It's still the 4th web result on Google as of 10am EDT on July 10.

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

Third of only five results for me

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. ;)
