Nope, this “membership” is only for air and water travel. There are still border checks on land. A great victory, as the politicians said, indeed.

Yes. And some things I forgot to mention about the tower:
Baldwin’s tower, in Tsarevets, Veliko Turnovo, was restored by model of this tower.
And, apparently, the tower appeared in S5E10 of Game of thrones. source (in bulgarian)

The fortress was built in the place of a Byzantine fortress from the sixth century. It served as an important centre during the Second Bulgarian empire, second only to the capital of Turnovo. It minted coins and in 1235 it became the seat of the Bishopric of Cherven. The fortress was burned by the invading ottomans in 1388, with most people fleeing to what is today Ruse. There is also a [3D reconstruction ](https://youtu.be/PE1AFcaW3iY) of the town during the 14th century [Cherven’s wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherven_(fortress))

The site has all current clients so I’d recommend checking it. As for me, I use Element X. It’s not bad, the only annoying thing is that it’s always asking me to turn on chat backup but when I do it encounters an error. But besides this, it’s alright, it does everything I need it to do.

I decided to finally pick up Helldivers and I couldn’t be happier with it. The missions are entertaining and the community is great! The game is just… fun! There are still some bugs, like when I got stuck in the door of the extraction ship and died to a fire tornado lol, but those are rare, most times being just visual.

I don’t feel like it’s necessary. The technology community is more than enough for Reddit and everything also related to technology, making a separate comm just for Reddit feels a little excessive. As for blocking, most apps have keyword blocks so people can already view the community without the Reddit-related stuff.

I haven’t gone fishing in a long time but from my experience it’s really peaceful. As another commenter said, kind of like meditation. Also, catching the fish feels really rewarding.
Most people just love the thrill and some crank it to 11. Once we went fishing with my grandfather and his friends, in a regular small boat. With us was a guy they had met there last year, who had bought a pretty expensive boat just for fishing, not to talk about all the other equipment he had.
It’s a passion for a lot of people.

Frankly, it’s just way too big, which can make performance bad, makes it a target for attacks and due to the huge user base it’s harder to upgrade. That’s why .world is still on 0.18.5 while most of lemmy is at 0.19.3.
Also, from what I’ve seen the admins can get a bit powertrippy.

Should we be fine with being treated as second class citizens just because Russia is worse? Of course people will react emotionally and not completely logically, many feel that their country has been humiliated and exploited.
The fact that a single country can just blackmail others in this way, to achieve its own goals doesn’t sound like a union to me. And with such cases russophiles begin to appear more and more right.
The EU needs major reforms in that area to make sure no one can abuse it. And blaming people for being fed up, with 12 years being used as scapegoats by various populists, is directing the blame towards the wrong people.
As I previously stated, I’m an avid supporter of the EU and our membership in it, but it can’t go on in this state.

Which requirements exactly? Taking in Austria’s immigrants so their populists can brag that they’ve saved their country?
The requirements have been met a long time ago, and so says the European Commission. I guess Austria is the only enlightened in the whole EU to determine that Bulgaria and Romania are not ready.
Even as a strong believer in a united Europe, I can’t blame people getting eurosceptic, seeing how our supposed allies treat us.

It’s pretty unfortunate. There’s been some attempts at reconstructing some of the castles but let’s say they weren’t ideal.
We could at least look on the bright side that although the castles are mostly in ruin, the legacy and culture of the medieval Bulgarian states still remain.
Nevertheless it definitely could feel like a piece of history is just gone.

Time Shelter - a (badly written) Review-Spoilers

It’s pretty likely. For example, in Bulgarian you could say something has happened in different ways, based on if you’ve witnessed it yourself. That’s how Gaustine talks about the past. It’s a pretty big part of his character, wich sadly has been lost in translation.
As @Arthur@literature.cafe requested, here's a review of Time Shelter. I apologize in advance for what you are going to read. As this was my first work by Gospodinov i didn't know what to expect but i really enjoyed it! I want to start with Gaustine, and precisely, his name. From Garibaldi and Augustine, a revolutionary and a philosopher (with interesting beliefs about time). That basically sums up what Gaustine is - a revolutionary for that world, someone who unifies others with their past, just as Garibaldi helped unify Italy. But does unity with your past free you from the constraints of the future? It's a question posed frequently by the book. For many the the certainty of the future that has happened brings them comfort, but the mistakes still lie in that future. He truly feels like somebody outside of time, even down to the way he speaks, a wanderer in time. For the most of the story he still was that young mysterious young man we met all the way back in that seminar, at least, until that "i don't know". I must say that I definitely enjoyed the first part of the book more, I enjoyed the human aspect of it. Who are we without our past? What binds us to it? All those questions, all those characters' stories, even when most of them were so tragic. While I liked the philosophical aspect more, I still found enjoyment in the "social commentary" if I could call it that. As a Bulgarian it absolutely hit close to home, actually a lot of the book did. At the beginning of the book, when he talks about life under communism, about that room. It was so familiar, while I wasn't alive in those years it was just like talking to my father. The little toy cars, the strange foreign triangular candy... the famed truck driver who brought all of that home, like the one my grandfather was. Got bit carried away (lol) but the whole Referendum and everything before and after really felt realistic. I also really loved G.(G.)'s character, a writer who can't remember his story, his time left falling out of his pockets. From the person who helps these people to someone who becomes one of them, being sent more and more back. From a few words, to a notebook of them, to phrases, names and after all that is left is that rose. Really loved how trough the story the line between G. and G.G. gets blurrier and blurrier. Gaustine didn't disappear without a trace as the main character states, he was always there, he never left. Also I actually liked how meta the book was at times and even funny while at it. I've seen some criticisms that the book doesn't have a climax, but to be honest it doesn't need one. It laid out everything it set to tell and told it. From the promises of a better past to repeating those old mistakes again. But it shows what we, as humans miss, those days when we were happy and young, a shelter... After all everybody yearns for their own time shelter. Thanks for reading trough this if you did, it really was fun writing it and made me think more deeply of what I read and dive deeper into it's meaning. TL;DR Nice book

Here’s also a pretty painting of medieval Vidin
Bdin, by Vasil Goranov
The construction of the castle began in the 10th century at the place of the Ancient Roman castell Bononia. The building of Baba Vida is tied to a legend, according to which a Danubian Bulgarian king who ruled at Vidin had three daughters: Vida, Kula and Gamza. Prior to his death, he divided his realm among the three. Vida, the eldest, was given Vidin and the lands north to the Carpathians, Kula was awarded Zaječar and the Timok Valley, and Gamza was to rule the lands west up to the Morava. Although Gamza and Kula married to drunkard and warlike nobles, Vida remained unmarried and built the castle in her city. The name of the castle means "Granny Vida". Due to wars and castles being torn down as to prevent rebellions or just for the materials during ottoman times Baba Vida remains the only fully intact castle in Bulgaria.

Parliament in the Netherlands has voted in favour of Bulgaria being admitted to the Schengen visa zone, Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) said on December 22, a week after the Dutch government recommended the move. A proposal tabled by the New Sociaal Contract group to endorse the stance previously announced by Austria, to admit only Bulgaria’s airports for now and its land and sea borders at some point later, failed to win the required number of votes – 76 – to be approved, though the vote was 59 in favour and 49 against.

With most instances updated to 19.0 and Avelon supporting it, when will we be able to use the new Scaled and Controversial sorting methods?
When trying to add a new guest instance it opens the window to type it and it quickly disappears. On a side note, what’s going on with the development? It’s the longest we’ve had without a new update and (at least for me) Avelon has become a little laggy, not to mention 0.19 is just a few days away. Hope everything is okay with evgiz.
It served as the primary stronghold in the capital of the Second Bulgarian empire. It’s situated on the Yantra river, on a hill of the same name, across it is the other main hill in the medieval city - Trapezitsa. It was conquered on 17 July 1393 by the ottomans after a three month siege, during which the tsar was at Nikopol, leaving the Bulgarian patriarch to defend the city. On 22 September 1908, at the foot of Tsarevets, in the Holy Forty martyrs church, tsar Ferdinand declares Bulgaria’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. [Here’s a great guide for Tsarevets](https://www.andrey-andreev.com/en/tsarevets/)

Opening a user’s profile in the comment section causes the jump button to stop working. There’s no problem if you’re at the top of a comment tree, and the only way to fix is to scroll up. It’s a pretty minor bug I thought I should point it out.
Currently videos don’t stop playing after you scroll and if they have sound you have to go back and turn it off
Basically the title. Currently groups’ sorting is set to active by default. It would be nice to be able to set a default sorting when you create a group. Other than that I’m really loving the update!
When trying to open the site it reads the message: “Hey, I apologize but for the time being this instance must go down. I cannot deal with two instances at once during the ongoing issues with lemmy and people spamming illegal content into the federation. I don't know when or if this instance will be back, but I will try my best to bring it back up when I can. For continued info, please go to literature.cafe, I love and appreciate you <3”

With the recent updates Memmy has changed drastically and is very different from what it was just a week or two ago. The removal of the traversal feed, and the major rework of most of the ui, has made the app feel a lot more like Apollo. The reason I like Memmy so much compared to other apps is because it felt a lot more unique, it took inspiration from Apollo but it didn’t copy it directly. I just feel like Memmy has somewhat given up on its original idea in place for the Apollo aesthetic. And I want to say that I don’t mean to insult the developers of Memmy or undermine the effort they’ve put into developing the best Lemmy app, but just wanted to share my opinion.
Присъединяването на нови държави към Шенген изисква единодушието на държавите членки. Австрия и Нидерландия блокираха приемането на България в края на 2022 г., а срещу членството на Румъния гласува само Виена.
