Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Forget DEI, free speech, privacy protections, security, and ESG. Crypto, LLMs and perv glasses are examples of what happens with the tech industry really wants something
@theseouldan.bsky.social · 2d agoLLMs are embedded in Google search, naver search - the Korean 5th rate google ripoff - Kakao messenger - the Korean 5th rate WhatsApp ripoff - and windows. Surprised it's only 1 in 10, given the effort the consumer needs to put in to not use them
