See a professional, and you can always give a panic attack workbook a try. Sounds like anxiety disorder (I have the same). These two workbooks really helped me turn it around:

I neither browse Reddit nor Facebook. This is literally my first time seeing these sea creature monies. 🤷

The only problem I have is with the camera doing the police work. Like getting a speeding ticket for 26 in a 25 from a speed trap camera – a cop may or may not pull you over in that instance, because a cop can look at the whole scenario/variables and decide if that extra one mile really was a danger to others.

Yeah, this moron was probably using the phone. And every asshole using their phone at a red light means fewer cars get through that red light because they’re too busy looking at their phone to notice that the light has changed or the car in front of them has moved. But let’s have a person making this decision to issue a ticket – a phone at a red light at 3am is much different than a phone at a red light at 515pm.

Eightfold path, my dude.

I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’m still working on my Americano. #espresso

I don’t know how to fix it. How do I get my neighbors to come back to reality and to lean on love and compassion, rather than hate and retribution?

Trump will be remembered in the same category as the guy who greenlit the Holocaust?

I mean, Trump is a bad dude and a terrible president, but c’mon man, employ some perspective.

Harry Truman killed up to 246,000 people, mostly civilians. Trail of Tears claimed over 10,000 lives. All who choose war and violence are evil people.

Right on. Thanks. I never expected to jump straight to vehicles, nor do I think one man is out there making the FOSS operating systems, so I guess I’m just wondering where I should start to be able to contribute to the effort in the near future.

Shutup, nerd.

Edit: Truth is, I thought of that and tried it. I cant remember why, but for some reason it was uncomfortable. Or maybe I wanted the flexibility to buckle easily when I felt it was warranted. Something like that.

My utv detects the seatbelt. If you don’t click in the seatbelt, it limits speed to like 10mph and limits the hp. Sometimes I’m tooling in the yard or getting it unstuck and I need full HP but also need to get in and out of the vehicle. Someone made a cute little bypass that took 5 minutes to install. Works like a charm. Now, when I’m driving on a road, I buckle up, but when I’m plowing the snowy driveway I don’t.

How do I learn to be a FOSS developer so I can start working on firmware/software replacements for vehicles?

Just a heads up: I have a 2026 GM. The infotainment doesn’t work right and the key fob often isn’t detected. Their solution is to blame my phone (even though it works with every other car and every other Bluetooth device; and a factory reset of my Pixel 9 only solved some of the infotainment problems and shouldn’t have had to happen at all anyway). My father-in-law also has a 2026 Chevy and there are infotainment problems for him. Different models.

Tldr: avoid the 2026 GM vehicles.

Huh? I don’t expect people to do that at all. Are you saying “you” like the royal/editorial you?,

I agree with you. Just like I said above, stupid old people and lazy people can’t be expected to use Linux because sometimes it requires using terminal.

I’m glad you said this. I think it’s important to be honest about the Linux experience. It is not perfect. My Boomer parents could not use it. It often is plug and play, and often you don’t have to do anything with Terminal. But, there are times when it’s not plug and play and there are many times when you have to use Terminal to make something happen.

For example, Lubuntu updater keeps telling me there’s a new version of Lubuntu, but does nothing when I click upgrade. OK. I think it’s because there is a beta upgrade available that the updater sees but won’t upgrade to.

I’ve been using Linux since about 2003, off and on. It’s much better than it was. For me, it’s better than windows. For my 70-year-old mother, she should stick with the windows environment.

Windows 11 kept putting up “helpful hints” and kept asking me to set up a OneDrive, and would randomly reboot itself when not in use (which is a pain in the ass for a server system), so after about 6 months of enduring, I nuked it and put Lubuntu on it. Now it works almost perfectly.

My gaming pc is still windows 11, and I’m afraid to put Linux on it because I bricked my previous laptop doing that, and my gaming pc was expensive and is nice. Someday I’ll get really fed up with having to specify “no, windows – I don’t want to save this to your cloud. I want to save it to my hard drive” but for now, I’m dealing with it.

Yup. If Musk touches it, I’m gone. I’ll just have to pay for my MLB TV subscription and get more reliable cell service. Not much of a loss there.

I wonder what the front collision/auto braking feature will do to this trend. Hopefully it’ll erase it. Isnt it mandatory on US cars made after X date now?

This is probably caused by a combination of big vehicles and distracted driving (including smartphones and infotainment).

Reddit is lousy with them. In general, I assume MOST of the post-2024 posts and replies I see on any subreddit with a strong subscriber base are made by bots. It’s why I came to Lemmy.

It seems like there’s a problem there. They want an elected body to pass an ordinance against something another independent elected body is already under contract to do.

In my simple brain, so be it. Why not do that?

In my rational brain, having sat through at least 100 council and commission meetings, it’s not that simple and certainly could open the county to legal issues in at least three ways (flock sues county for breach of contract; sheriff sues council for overreach; pro-flock community members sue county for whatever they can think of).

To me, this is a time for the people to play politics. Schedule meetings with these council members individually. Invite them to anti-flock parties. Convince them to be on your anti flock side. If you get one, that one can work on the others from the inside.

By the way, we already have legislation against flock – it’s called the Fourth Amendment.
