I retract my previous jabs and jokes brother. It handled the dynamic range there very well. 🫂

That’s cool. You should try streaming music on zap.stream sometime. I had a lot of fun doing that.

Damn bro. 😎

Kinda a listen along with me type thing?

About time. Apple Music also has lossless for the same price, just in case you ever need a recommendation for a friend with an iPhone. We have Dolby Atmos too.

We have one and I looked into lessons. They ain’t cheap but were surprisingly less than I expected considering they’re providing the plane.

I’ve always wanted to fly. Army wouldn’t let me because I’m Red/Green colorblind. Does that cause any issues with licensing?

They gave up scamming people with MQA finally?

That is so cool dude. What an awesome skill to have.

Amazing view. You flying this one?

Well said.

Taken on a Pixel?

That is awesome. You work in my two best languages. Maybe we can collaborate some time. I’m a C++/C# nerd. 🫂

Beautiful shot Derek. ❤️

My friends are the *only* thing keeping me here - on any social media really. (I only have Nostr and a mastodon I check weekly)

Ah. I keep forgetting how behind LTS Ubuntu is.

If you haven’t already, you might check out vcpkg when you have tinker time. Since switching to windows, I do all my Qt work on it natively, and I compile everything (deps) with vcpkg and use the toolchain file to allow cmake to find everything. Nlohmann, SQLite, and Qt 6.5 are all building natively that way on my machine.

It looks like:

vcpkg install qt:x64-windows

And it will compile it natively. Of course, on windows natively you could just use the installer, in which case vcpkg is still great for sekp256, nlohmann, and even boost.

The installer will work well in most cases, but using vcpkg (especially if you make a manifest file) makes it easy to do CI/CD later as well, since it works on all three platforms.

I didn’t know they could be milked. Don’t tell Claus.

Lovely view, that. I’ve always preferred leaving trees on the property.

The problem is due to the erosion of the meaning of words and the aggressive labeling of every single group in the world (and I consider this something that both sides engage in) that the definition itself depends upon words that no longer carry meaning.

Words like “right-wing” have no meaning because the “right” is nothing like the “right” historically and they stand for nothing. You could slice the population into segments separated by the decade of birth, and every group would have a completely different definition of “democrat” and “republican,” “left-wing” and “right-wing.” Even worse, someone who is classically liberal can be labeled “right-wing” and “fascist” for being pro-life, even though they are pro-legalization of drugs, pro-lgbtq rights, and pro-social assistance.

Definition two is modern, and an attempt to associate people with someone like Stalin, which is bad faith and I will always reject it.

I see this as no different or any less bad than people referring to modern democrats as “socialists” or even “communists.” It’s wrong both technically and morally to attempt to associate those with whom you disagree with mass murderers, unless they are going around killing 10’s of thousands of people unprovoked.

It is far too easy to say you stand against a vague, anamorphic cloud of an idea than to name the person and the specific policy you are against. Virtue signaling without taking any risk of being required to back it up.

“I have a problem with X leader because of Y policy which is bad because Z” opens up the floor to discussion, debate, and either being proven true or false. “Stand against fascism” does not.

Nuance by its very definition requires specificity, and jargon culture is very much an influential part of the shit show politics has become.

Ok. If you have any more issues let me know. I can throw a working CMakeLists.txt into a GitHub gist or something.

Are you wanting to use Qt Creator?

I believe the pkg name is just qtcreator all together like that.
