I think your numbers are a bit off for the gray pride march. I don't know the numbers, but MKKP even on their better days, don't pull multiple 10s of thousands, and that Fidesz ralley looked like an impromptu meeting of a couple of hundred.
This one though. I am sorry I couldn't join, but it was a sight to see the bridge and Rákóczi út fill up like that. 100k+ numbers here.
Closest I got is 'bojler eladó', but it is nowhere near as heartening as what Ukraine's got.
I rented that multiple times when it came out!
Not yet! We only have counties, no states. Maybe in a few years the Republic of Europe.
I'm guessing the commenter wrote federal law, as they are more familiar with american laws in English. We are just one state.
Dang, thanks. I read the post, thought it wasn't happening to me, and I just realized that the start of some videos is being throttled. The more ya know 🌈
Maybe I was just hallucinating and imagined adding extra hurdles to vehicle ownership. I think that's what scares most people away when it comes to freeing up public space.
I am all for walkable cities with proper bike infrastructure and railed transit. But I feel it is an important distinction that we try not to make things harder on the 'other end', and instead concentrate on new city infrastructure being created that focuses on being friendly to everything besides convenience motorists.
So like everyone can still get a car, just make it not really worth it, in a good way. There, I solved world hunger.
Limiting sucks. If we try to get shit done by taking away, it'll never happen. No limiting.
But there seems to be an interesting phenomenon in between public transit and driving. Like if you have a popular destination with shitty public transit, it'll take a ton of time to get there by car due to congestion.
So make public transit go brrr, maybe slap some extra tax on vehicles, and see people abandon cars in favor of a working public transport by themselves, without any external limiting factors.
Exactomundo!
The only reason that last paragraph ain't outright ai garbage (besides my elegant use of 'everyperson', mind you) is that there is a semi-original though buried at the end of it. This paragraph is odacious, so point taken.
Thank goodness. I was worried there for a second.
Or maybe even take a step back. Dead internet theory is real and we're living it, but just because the main subreddits and FB are ai schlock doesn't mean Lemmy is the only 'real' place.
I feel the hardest part is keeping my senses about me when I argue with hivemind mentality. You will probably get a feeling from my writing, that I too embraced the hive speak and mind. And this is where the bots get the everyperson. Bots speak in hivemind and meme format. I think this whole kerfuffle will do wonders for real online discussion, as low-effort discussions will be dismissed as white noise.
It's still fun to hear the man himself talking about a larger than life virtual reality.
The tech still scares me, I'm not even sure I'd be okay with EEG-like patches that work both ways (scifi, I know), not to mention brain surgery, for pure decadence. But the quality of life benefits really can be huge for many, and that really got my fantasy going, once I 'accepted' we figured out the limits and safeties of bodily autonomy.
Soros.
