Can a poor open source project get an assist from some kind Wikipedian? The @opencv logo is out of date by several years and it annoys me to no end. People keep using the old logo. I do not have the edit powers to fix it. The old logo being used on Wikipedia pages is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OpenCV_Logo_with_text.png and the correct, current, logo that we use is https://opencv.org/media-kit/ #Wikipedia #OpenCV

Dramatic update: The threads were blown out by someone using a wood screw as a quick fix awhile back. Now I'm out 46 cents. Going back later for round two w/ my proper tool box. This time it's personal.

The local bar has a window latch missing a bolt and I’m going to have a hell of a good time walking around the block to the hardware store and back, to buy a 10 cent bolt and then leave here the conquering hero

This was an actual question btw not a tease. Let’s find out this weekend. Goals: 1) Play a stereo mp3 file of a full song. Quality tbd. 2) Headphone out, 3) Tiny display that shows song title, duration, time left. 4) volume knob, 5) on/off switch.

No other controls or buttons. On starts playing.

Bonus: can it run on AA batteries?

My LaserDisc player has stopped reading discs. Anybody local in the Bay Area have expertise with these machines? It’s one of the Philips karaoke LD & CD players. The motors all seem to work!

Group question: What do you use for financial & budgeting software these days, aside from any provided by your bank or credit union, if you use any? My finances only seem to get more complicated the less money I have and I am middle-aged and tired

Have been trying out Lemmy, a software which is what you might call the fediverse version of Reddit. It is so far doing pretty well.

We gotta build our own shit, because we cannot depend on anyone at the levers of power.
