What's one thing your learned at college/university that blew your mind?

My polisci teacher day 1 really hammered in that literally everything is political, that it is unavoidable, and all you do by avoiding politics is giving up your own agency when it comes to the things that you care about. It was 2017, so a lot of political apathy at the time, idk it reallly made it click that every single thing is poltical, based on it or decided by it.

Like not caring about politics is just not caring about how you live your life and giving up any control you have to others. People only realize when they lose something they care about like porn games lol

Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

It started out enshittified, ai automod will take down your posts/comments for anything inappropriate like saying shit or fuck. No what the fucks on digg. They may have fixed it temporarily since ppl were complaining.

Idk, the moment they swapped the shovel and tombstone for basic triangle upvote/downvotes I knew it was going to be corporate slop for the general public.

Why does being progressive and into tech mean being into ai all of a sudden? It has never meant that, its the conservative mfs pushing ai for a reason. You think any sort of powerful ai is about to be open source and usable by the ppl? Not expensive af to run with hella regulations behind who can use it?
