A dzisiaj jakieś 15 tys. osób.
Bardzo pluralistycznie — szli anarchiści z sambą, ankapki, typy z izraelską flagą, pracownicy z korpo, rodziny z dziećmi i tęczowymi psami oraz zwykli klubowicze.

Demonstration of a Networked Music Performance Experience with MEVO
In this paper we present a Networked Music Performance system currently under development at Politecnico di Torino. We demonstrate its use in a distributed concert held in June 2023, which featured three musicians in Turin (Italy) and three musicians in Wrocław (Poland). Although in its early stages, the system proved to be already stable enough to appear transparent to the remote audience.

I took a really cool #EN57 train from #Bydgoszcz today. It was so awesome that even the toilet was air conditioned. From below.
No such EMUs in Poznań anymore. Even in Wrocław I've only seen units with closed loop toilets.

As you have probably noticed already, I'm not a big fan of cities. My preferred kind of place is a town surrounded by a forest, or even better — a train stop in middle of a forest, with two houses or so.
Still, many cities in Poland have an important advantage — they're surrounded by great forests (unfortunately, sometimes distant from the railway infrastructure). Furthermore, in these forests you feel that people actually do matter — tourists, hikers. They aren't just an afterthought, a nuisance making it harder to cut trees down.
