slightly OT for macports but definitly onT. :)
My wife’s machine is Catelina (and Ends at Big Sur). It has, and I/She uses
lots of ports and IIRC we have used Qt before, but when I try to build

I'm offended by having somebody tout their beliefs in a technical forum.
De Grass Tyson presents argument that it is genetic, and I will not
discriminate on genetics.
But touting a belief is not genetic, it is for a purpose, and I think it spoils
the forum. Please don't.

After 6 years my macbook battery is really past it’s use-by.
