最近話題の tags.pub についてちょこっと検証してみた記録メモ。

⚫︎ドメインブロックをしてもブーストされる。ただしブースト通知は来ない。

⚫︎プロフィールにオプトアウトハッシュタグ（#NoTagsPub、 #NoBots、#NoBot）を入れるとブーストされなくなる。

⚫︎ハッシュタグを削除すればまたブーストされるようになる。ただしタグを外す前のトゥートを遡ってブーストすることはない。

「tags.pub」について、自分なりの理解  
※SNSやサーバーの仕組みとかを省いたざっくりしたもの

端的に言うと、「特定のハッシュタグがついた投稿」を、広く届けやすくするための仕組みじゃないかな～。(日本語タグは機能してないぽいけど)

🔸ハッシュタグ検索 → サーバーの周辺だけ探す。
🔸tags.pub → もっと広い範囲から探してそれを一度tags.pubが受け取り、それを転送してくれる(SNSの規格を決めてる人によるものなので信頼性◎と思われる)

tags.pubの利点は恐らく「どのサーバーの投稿であっても」当該タグの投稿を見ることができるってことだとおもふ。

拾われないようにするには、プロフに「 #NoBots や #NoBot 」を、tags.pubだけ拒否るには「 #NoTagsPub 」を記載すればOKって認識であった。

Beautiful Tuesday | A Double Feature in Flowers and Verse

My poems were featured on Maggie Devers’ One Poem Only podcast two+ months ago. World Poetry Day (February 21) would have been the perfect time to share that news, but…I forgot.

Yes, I’m hanging my head in shame.

Thankfully, podcasts don’t disappear (unless deleted), so you can still access the poems (yay!). Maggie’s double feature involves her reading one poem on her podcast and the another one on Instagram. I was honored to be selected for a double feature.

Please take a moment or two to listen to Maggie’s beautiful reading of both poems.

You’ll Hear Music by Chandra! [“You’ll Hear Music” was first published in the Stafford 2024-25 Anthology].

You can access the second poem on Instagram.

Abandoned by Chandra! [“Abandoned” was recently published in the debut revival issue of Athena’s Web, the literary arts journal of Athens State University].

Let me know what you think in the comments!

About the Images: Anne Lene, my Wildflowers friend from Norway, sent the two postcards featured in this post–one for International Women’s Day 2025, the other for International Women’s Day 2026. Aren’t they lovely?

Discovering Ageless Linux

https://agelesslinux.org/

We are not against child safety. We are against building surveillance infrastructure and calling it child safety.

A law that required applications with genuine risk profiles — social media, messaging, dating apps — to display honest, human-readable safety information at the point of use would be a child safety law. A law that funded digital literacy education in schools would be a child safety law. A law that held platforms accountable for algorithmic amplification of harmful content to minors would be a child safety law.

A law that requires every operating system to collect every user's age and transmit it to every application on demand is not a child safety law. It is an identity infrastructure mandate. The children are the justification. The infrastructure is the product.

KDE Plasma 6.6 introduces the ability to extract text from screenshots taken using Spectacle, KDE's default screenshot tool, similar to Snipping Tool in Windows.

In some Linux distributions with KDE as the desktop, Spectacle doesn't show the "Extract text" button that enables this. Descriptions on how to fix the issue in OpenSUSE, NixOS and Arch are easily discoverable on the Web, but for Devuan (and presumably Debian) fixes are much harder to find.

I'm running Devuan "freia" (based on Debian testing). In a terminal, run:

Type y when prompted to install all dependencies and restart Spectacle if it's already running. Voilà. For me this worked; your mileage may vary.
