KDE Plasma 6.6 introduces the ability to extract text from screenshots taken using Spectacle, KDE's default screenshot-taking tool, similar to Snipping Tool in Windows.
In some Linux distributions with KDE as the default desktop, Spectacle sometimes 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:
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr tesseract-libsType
ywhen prompted to install all dependencies and restart Spectacle if it's already running. Voilà. For me this worked; your mileage may vary.Hashtag list incoming:

@BakerRL75 You got me curious, so I went investigating. Here's an explanation of that instance:
tags.pub is a global hashtag server for the Fediverse. You can follow an account like [email protected] and it will boost all the content tagged #example from across the Fediverse.There's an easy opt-out available per
https://tags.pub/#optout:
If your server is providing data to tags.pub, and you don't want your content to be boosted by tags.pub accounts, you can add the #NoTagsPub hashtag to your account bio. (If you've already got a #NoBots or #NoBot hashtag in your account bio, we'll also skip any boosts.) -
cc @evan relating to earlier #TagsPub discussion we had on the matter.
This bot is already combining logic, has multiple 'profle logic' tags. Dunno if "NoBots" is also already common protocol-decaying practice.
Maybe a solution might be that an #ActivityPub bot actor - OT: which I'd personally perhaps had chosen to be Application, not Service actors - would have a botFlags property. Simple to implement, and #FEP that.
More involved but also much more versatile might be a "Botiquette" as:Profile, or even a bots:Botiquette type, and a namespace to register them at, and where others may find what they mean and how they operate exactly.

Introducing tags.pub
tags.pub is a new service under development by the Social Web Foundation. It is a global hashtag server -- it lets you follow a hashtag across the Fediverse. There's lots of information on the tags.pub home page, and I (Evan) did a talk about tags.pub at FOSDEM 2026. This blog post answers some basics about tags.pub. To follow a hashtag globally, search for a user with that name at tags.pub, like @example for the #example hashtag. Follow that account, and it will share all the […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/03/17/introducing-tags-pub/
