I wonder if there's a 'market' for selling website templates (11ty, Jekyll, maybe other SSGs too) that are specifically JS-less client-side (e.g. portfolio websites, personal blogs, etc.). like, specifically NOT wordpress, blogspot, expressly no AI, etc., would that be an up-and-coming niche? […]

www.micro1.ai, an AI training lab is hiring people (contract-based), and they give you $140 if you send them 30 selfies / personal photos from the last 5 years, and 10 short clips. $140, that's how much your facial data costs to these fuckers that will train AI on it.
a job posting for AI Facial Data Collection Contributor – Remote, where they list the salary as 1000 EUR/month, even though they explicitly say that they give you $140, and only after you give them those photos and videos.

any artist who primarily uses generative "AI" to make their art is a poser. any artist who cannot fathom giving up the use of a technology that came out like three years ago in their art practice is a fucking sell-out. there simply is not enough material wealth in art to justify such naked laziness.

🇪🇺🚨 Next Tuesday, a dirty deal on #ChatControl 2.0 looms, allowing PERMANENT mass scanning of our private chats (so-called #SearchPlans). 😱 Speak up and email your MEPs NOW to stop this: ℹ️ chatcontrol.wtf ✍️ fightchatcontrol.eu/?level=national…
Screenshot of an info page (chatcontrol.eu) warning about “Chat Control 2.0.” A highlighted line says a potentially final and decisive trilogue takes place on Tuesday, 29 September. It warns EU governments want “search plans” to scan “parts of a service” (e.g., all group chats or all EU users), effectively mass scanning of private chats. It cites that the Council’s own Legal Service warned this could be “general and indiscriminate” and likely illegal. It also warns about keeping the “voluntary” Chat Control 1.0 as a loophole, mentioning high false positives and cases affecting minors.

I still lurk on the r/London subreddit and came across this hilarious piece of activist art which turns a bin into a "smart glasses amnesty bin" that apparently is just across the Ray Ban store. 💅 www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/1w… #pervertglasses
A bin with some ad busting layover stuck to it. Under the ray ban and Meta logo it reads "smart glasses amnesty bin" next to a pictogram of a person throwing the glasses into a bin. 

Further text reads: Wearing hidden camera glasses massively increases the likelihood of people thinking you're a nonce

There are graphs
4 frame comic. a street journalist asks someone with a light blue dress and a large purse :
miss! do you think gender
transition should be illegal
for kids, given how patients
are rushed into treatments
and how the vast majority
ends up detransitioning?

she replies, pulling a bunch of papers from her purse that she hands to the journalist:
I'm glad you asked! yet another
new massive study* just found
that out of 445 kids who were
referred to four different gender
clinics for gender dysphoria, only
2.9% didn't identify as trans or
non-binary five years later.
there are graphs!
a note below the frame gives the reference for the study : Metzger & al. stability of transgender identity in
adolescents seen in multidisciplinary specialized gender
centers. journal of adolescent health. august 2026.
she continues :
then out of the 353 who
started hormones (after an
average wait time of 2.4 years),
only 1.1% had stopped the treat-
ment five years later, which is
incredibly few. I hope that
info helps you!
but miss, do you think gender
transition should be illegal
for kids, given how this study
seems to suggest that it is so
addictive that kids who were
transed might feel trapped to
keep identifying as trans?
she replies, looking tired : stop making sh*t up.
