Penpoint writing software free trial for Novel November

cross-posted from: https://piefed.zip/c/[email protected]/p/1886328/penpoint-writing-software-free-trial-for-novel-november

Penpoint is a new program for writers with a similar concept to Scrivener, combining categorized note-taking with writing your manuscript. Currently you can test it for free until December 1st. The main app is local on desktop, and in November a sync option with mobile companion apps will be added, which will also be free for this event.

Disclaimer: I'm not paid by them, but I am an active beta tester. I wanted to share it as someone who uses it, but if the post is seen as an unwanted ad, I understand if the mods delete it.

Terranigma announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PS4, Switch, and PC

Clear River Games, in cooperation with Square Enix, has announced Terranigma, a revival of the 1995 action RPG, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2…

Didn't think this would ever happen, but one of my favorite childhood games is coming back to modern consoles, and for the first time released in America.

Judging from the trailer, it seems to be a straight port with only the soundtrack touched up and some artwork extras. Which is a bit disappointing, as much as it's a genuinely great game, it had flaws even back then and the textures don't really hold up that well. I was hoping for more incentive not to simply emulate it.

Edit: Turns out the "touched up soundtrack" in the trailer was an unattributed fan work and the trailer has been taken down. Ugh, that feels scummy.

Has something changed about blocking users?

Until some time ago (a few weeks or so), I'm pretty sure I could still come across comments written by users I blocked. I know that because I started to tag the users because of that. Now I've noted that not only comments by blocked users are completely hidden from me, but the entire thread starting from them, including responses by other users, is invisible.

I'm not really sure if that's the intended behavior (and if it's piefed or my instance that does it).

SPD und Union planen Abschaffung des Informationsfreiheitsgesetzes

Siehe verlinkter Artikel. Beschluss Nr. 32 des Reformpakets im Wortlaut:

Wir werden das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz (IFG) unter Wahrung des Rechts auf den Zugang zu amtlichen Informationen und in Abstimmung mit dem BfDI weiterentwickeln und an die aktuellen Herausforderungen anpassen. Wir werden das komplizierte IFG für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger verständlicher und transparenter machen. Wir wollen die Auskunftsrechte künftig auf natürliche Personen fokussieren, die ein berechtigtes Interesse an einer Auskunft haben und diese nicht durch andere Regelungen erreichen können. Dabei prüfen wir, ob wir den Kreis der betreffenden Personen auf in Deutschland lebende Deutsche und Unionsbürger beschränken. Wir wollen unsere Beschäftigten vor Anfeindungen und Drohungen schützen, indem wir die Namen der Mitarbeitenden schwärzen. In Zeiten einer komplexen Bedrohungslage von innen und von außen wollen wir die staatliche Resilienz erhöhen und dem besonderen Schutzbedarf bestimmter Bereiche wie dem der Kritischen Infrastruktur, der Spionageabwehr, der Terrorismusbekämpfung oder auch der wissenschaftlichen Forschung stärker Rechnung tragen. Die IFG-Gebühren werden wir im Einklang mit dem Kostendeckungsprinzip anpassen.
