I don’t, it’s just speculation, hence “most likely”. I see similar handwriting and not a very plausible problem.

Shouldn’t the FCC have a say in this?

You do get notifications if you configure the script to use your account. However, it is a security risk unless it’s running on your computer and you store the password responsibly.

Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?

You could make the script check the latest posts for yesterday’s date and decide whether to take action but that makes it more difficult of course, and I’m not going to finish it if you’re OK without it.

The anon got it wrong. These are “>” or “greater than” symbols, not arrows, although they look like arrowheads. They are used to signal a quote, which makes the text green on 4chan or inside a quote block on other platforms. In 4chan culture, the resulting greentext is not a quote, it has a meaning of its own.

The actual implication arrow, used in mathematical logic for statements like “if A, then B” or “A implies B”, is “⇒” or “rightwards double arrow” in Unicode. Using ASCII characters, it can be written as “=>”.

I was talking about the wrong date in the post title. You can still fix this, Lemmy allows editing post titles (and links).

There is no shame in scheduling posts you were going to make anyway, prominent poster @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz does it and I do that on my @ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.one account. The easiest way is to write a Python script with the pythorhead library, and automating it with a cron job or Windows’ Task Scheduler, or run manually if you wish to do that. Your username and password, as well as what the previous post was (for unpinning in the community), can be stored in your OS’s environment variables.

In your case, it’s just a matter of something like

# warning: untested
from pythorhead import Lemmy
import datetime
import os

todays_date = datetime.now().strftime("%A %B %d")

post_title = "The Daily Checkin for" + todays_date + " - Just For Today, We Are Not Drinking!"
post_body = "Good morning sober peeps!!\n\nWe may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!\n\nWelcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.\n\nMaybe you’re new to c/stop drinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.\n\nIt doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!"

community_id = 5759 #lemmy.world/c/stopdrinking for lemmy.world users
previous_post = os.getenv("STOPDRINKING_PP")
post = ""

lemmy_username = os.getenv("STOPDRINKING_UN")
lemmy_password = os.getenv("STOPDRINKING_PW")
lemmy = Lemmy("https://lemmy.world") 

def retry_login():
    if not lemmy.log_in(lemmy_username, lemmy_password):
        print("Failed to log in")
        exit(1)

def retry_post():
    global post
    post = lemmy.post(community_id, post_title, body=post_body,)
    if post:
        print(f"Successfully posted ({post['post_view']['post']['ap_id']})")
    else:
        print("Failed to post")
        exit(1)

def retry_refeature():
    global previous_post
    global post
    post.feature(true)
    if (previous_post):
        previous_post.feature(false)
    previous_post = post
    os.environ["STOPDRINKING_PP"] = previous_post

def retry: #this structure allows retrying in the interactive shell
    retry_login()
    retry_post()
    retry_refeature()
    input("Press Enter to exit...")
    os._exit(0)

retry() 

This command makes the script run in interactive mode, so you can see error output if problems happen, change variables and type retry() commands to retry:

py -i stopdrinkingtoday.py

I haven’t tested the code but it should not be too hard to get it working. Feel free to ask for help.

Palau, Tuvalu, and Micronesia do not evoke much significance

Well, that’s why I kinda sorted the list by “relevance”. Still, you should at least mention top 5-6 opposers if you’re going to bother with any abstainers.

How’s your calendar going?

There’s no teacher. Everything on that paper was most likely written by a single person.

Would only work if the numerator was 𝑛 + sin 𝑥

What’s funny is that lots of people outside Prague are racist and most of them make no effort to hide it. Our nation very much prides itself in dark humor and very few topics are taboo, we even have racial and Auschwitz jokes. However, most people are oblivious to what’s happening in the area so even if you made a really good point for Palestine and composed it into a joke, it’s not going to resonate with any audience. Maybe university students (though a great deal of them are pro-Israel so you might get cringey faces and boos).

It is possible none of us will live to see Czechia vote against the interest of Israel as all parties support it and there is pretty much no organized pro-Palestine movement. Israel says we’re their top partners in the eastern hemisphere, which means a lot because most countries are in the eastern hemisphere, including itself. At least, aid toward them is not nearly as popular among politicians and citizens as for Ukraine (we have a sizable, well-behaved Ukrainian minority already and took the most refugees per capita at the height of the crisis).

As for why pretty much every politician is either oblivious or bootlicking Israel: see my comment under a post about the shredder escapade 4 months ago

Yup. Israel is treating them like land that’s free to colonize, when in reality a nation (albeit one with unstable government, and only recently UN-recognized) lives there.
Similarly, Japan can’t claim it’s “defending itself” if it hypothetically performs violent acts in Lebanon.

That’s why I didn’t specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.

This is hilarious

Some clients make it worse by not wrapping text in code blocks. Please use > at the start of each line (including blank ones between paragraphs) to make a quote block. If you need a newline (such as in poems), end the line with 2 spaces and just one line break. If you really need to put non-code inside a code block (such as ASCII art or this), the best practice is to use the following syntax:

```text
bla bla bla
```

This specifies text as the syntax-highlighting language (which obviously means no highlighting) rather than whatever the default is (Java?).

Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!

Why list a select 15 abstainers in the summary rather than the 14 voting against? Besides the obvious ones (Israel, US, Czechia), there’s Hungary, Argentina, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Palau, Nauru, Malawi, Tuvalu, Tonga and Micronesia.

Call them Li-Ion batteries to prevent confusion with lithium batteries such as CR-2032, which probably have been used in pagers.

Overloaded Li-Ion batteries don’t reliably explode. I would have expected them to place the explosive inside an oversized battery pouch along with a heating element in series with the battery. A microcontroller on the board could go short-circuit upon receiving a certain message, making a large current flow through the heating element and triggering the explosive.
