That's what ending birthright citizenship is all about. Millions of people who are currently considered to be American citizens will have that stripped from them and then they are free to be deported

Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

A ban would fix a lot of problems.

I think a ban would cause a lot of problems too. it's not cut and dry and banning a social media platform is the "nuclear" option

Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬 in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

The republicans do not have enough of a majority in either house to get that through.

I sincerely doubt they are going to convince a third of the Dems to support it either

In b4 "You wont make a profit"... i know, i want to use my computer to heat my apartment. i figure that even if i'm making a "loss" each month on the mining it's still cheaper than running my apartments electric heaters when you account for the sold (or not) bitcoin.

I've been doing well keeping things warm by Folding at home on the CPU but apparently AMD GPUs aren't supported for that and i want to put my GPU to work too.

I briefly mined some litecoin in like 2013/14 when BTC was just about popping off. other than that i have no mining experience (and i would have been using windows back then)

Need to sort something soon, Jan and Feb are probs the coldest months in the UK and i have gotten this far this year without using the heaters

These, as far as i'm aware, have come straight from steam. I've searched for these online but haven't found anyone else getting the same error.

I don't understand the price of the EOS M10 (self.photography)

I currently own two canon cameras, an EOS M10 i bought around 2017/2018 new for around £150 and a secondhand EOS 1300d i bought last week from a second hand electronics shop for £110 (body only, i already had lenses from an old EOS 200d)

Spec wise they seem to be extremely similar cameras just with the 1300 being larger with better lenses and more manual features

My dad mentioned that he was thinking of buying a new camera as his one was bought way back in like 2010 and wasn't a particularly up to date model at the time so i am considering selling him my M10.

looking at ebay though they seem to be going for £200-400 which i find a bit strange for a camera that first hit the market back in 2015 and is way more than i paid new (although reduced to clear) from John Lewis.

Am i missing something? How much is the M10 worth? and is it really worth more than it's newer (2016) DSLR counterpart?

How to display a symbol similar to the undervoltage symbol on raspberry pi (self.linux)

submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by PrettyFlyForAFatGuy to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I want to display a symbol at the top right of one or both of my screens, similar to the lightning bolt symbol raspberry pi OS uses to indicate lack of power, when certain conditions are met.

I'm pretty sure i could cobble a bash script together to decide when to do it, but it's the actual displaying of the symbol i'm not sure where to start on. It would need to appear on top of anything else that may be on the screen at the time

Everything i have tried googling returns irrelevant results
