overview for Cevilia

Cloanto, the company that owns the rights to the Commodore Amiga line, have a legal emulator that they sell called Amiga Forever. It's about half the price of one modern AAA game, and when you download it, it comes with about fifty games of varying notability, and there's many times more you can just install and play. And it's all legal.

I would love this to be the industry norm, imagine being able to download a NES! It's annoying that if we want future generations to be able to experience games of the past (whether to learn from them, or just for pleasure) we need to teach our children about piracy.

I can excuse shit and late trains, but mispronouncing Northern train stations? An abomination. in c/ukcasual@lemmy.world

Funny thing, when I was growing up there, depending on which side of the town you lived on you pronounced it one of two different ways.

Neither of which was slay-th'wait.

When do you start feeling bad about asking for a raise? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

You absolutely should not feel bad about doing this. Ever.

If anything, you should talk about it and share your experience, because your experience could help some of those who work manual intensive jobs and are still struggling to get raises of their own.

Remember: If the company isn't able to fairly compensate its workers, it doesn't get to have workers. That's how supply and demand works.

That way, when you forget it, you'll get a helpful reminder that your password is incorrect.

Meta seems to have money to burn, so they'll gladly pay for the disk space to host your uncompressible images. Here's a Python script to generate them!

generate.py

from PIL import Image
from tqdm import tqdm
import numpy as np
import sys
import os

number_of_images = 1000
width = 2048
height = 1024

for filename in tqdm(range(number_of_images)):
	image = Image.fromarray(np.random.randint(0, 256, (height, width, 3), dtype=np.uint8))
	image.save(str(filename) + ".png")
