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.

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 :)
