I’m not the original person you replied to, bud. I just wanted to find something peer reviewed for you on getting images from brain scans, since you doubted that’s a thing.

But like, you could also just look at the scene in the computer science field overall, if you’d like something more recent. Like the full journal from the IEEE, or maybe that little journal called Nature.

What do you think computer science departments at universities even do??

Decoding Brain Representations by Multimodal Learning of Neural Activity and Visual Features, DOI 10.1109/TPAMI.2020.2995909

Published in 2020 by the IEEE. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9097411

I don’t think you need to wait years for user friendly Linux tbh! I recommend checking out Linux Mint. It’s basically designed for people used to Windows and handles the technical stuff for you.

You can do almost everything through the GUI rather than the command line, so for things like updates, it’ll show you a little notification in the corner by the clock like you’re used to, you open up the software manager, and click the update button.

And most software nowadays can either be downloaded through an app store like interface, or by downloading an executable file from a website.

And if you’ve ever used a mac, there’s a time machine equivalent built in (timeshift). So you can set up an automatic backup daily/weekly/etc and if you mess up something, in most cases you can revert back to a point when it wasn’t messed up.

I say give it a shot, you can always go back if it’s not for you! But usability has improved so much in the last few years.

sometimes I don’t want to bother looking for alternative sources…

Tho yes, that does push me to do it more often.

God I want to do that but for some reason Prime Video on my laptop is locked to like 480p on “highest quality” but when I cast to my TV on my phone it’s full HD. Like what gives??

Do they hate that I’m on Linux using Firefox or something?? I tried Chrome and had the same issue.

Tried searching for the answer but all the Reddit posts say “it’s just your slow ass Internet”!! Nah man I’m on fibre.

(Edit: though I do use my HDMI for videos I have on my hard drive ofc, but sometimes I don’t want to bother looking for alternative sources…)
