I can find the intro to Tamale Loco, only Tamale Loco 2, and as such I'll never remember what that one guy liked on his burritas, besides not donkeypoo.

As for the technology itself, I haven’t heard anything about what is going to happen. I wouldn’t expect them to release it to the public, but it would be cool if they did.

JnnyThndrs, I adore the contrast between your cottagecore shelves and the technology collection. Nicely played! It's only indirectly Chrome's fault Flash is going away. Adobe itself is EOL-ing Flash because they don't want to keep However, there is a project afoot to archive most known Flash games, together with a streaming Flash player that will continue to work post-12/31. Project Flashpoint! e: Just to be clear, after the EOL date, Flash won't work at all, in browser or in a standalone player. https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html Arsenic Lupin has a new favorite as of 00:16 on Oct 29, 2020 |

Newgrounds is distributing their own Flash player so people can still watch their older content. Iirc you haven't been able to upload new flash content for a long time though.

The question isn't "can we fix it?" it's "why the gently caress would any sane, rational person want to"? Open source projects usually has an easier time to keep things safe than big corporations, sure there will come a bunch of clones that are less safe etc. but the biggest one will be the safe one just because it's big and that's where all the good programmers will go. But it doesn't matter now anyway since they're not making it open source.

The question isn't "can we fix it?" it's "why the gently caress would any sane, rational person want to"? I recently got one of those Flash update prompts except it was "Flash is loving dead, thanks for using it, please uninstall it now if you don't need it or we'll do it for you by the end of the year and no you can't keep using it". I've never seen a technology company so dedicated to making sure one of its products is deprecated and stays that way, and I think that says a lot about Flash. Rest in piss.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Why is it indirectly Chrome's fault? Because Google and Apple decided not to support Flash on smartphones, meaning that Flash games and godawful websites wouldn't work on phones. Actually! Android for a brief time DID support flash. Adobe specifically made and supported an Android version of the Flash runtime. The stock browser in Android 2.x to 4.x would run flash applets natively if the Flash Player from Adobe was installed from the Google Market/App Store. Adobe withdrew support for it around the time Android 4 started rolling out as it was clear even by then Flash was dying. Edit: Found an old article mentioning its withdrawal from the app store: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2505193/adobe-says-no-flash-player-for-android-4-1--plans-to-withdraw-app-on-aug--15.html stevewm has a new favorite as of 13:39 on Oct 29, 2020 |

I actually installed that on my Galaxy Nexus at the time. The few times I tried to use it I gave up because it was both incredibly slow/laggy and virtually no Flash content was designed with touchscreens in mind so any interactive content would require incredible precision with your screen taps.

Not to mention Flash would peg your phone's processor, making the phone approximately 1000 degrees after about two minutes of using it.

My only experience with it was on a Barnes and Noble Nook e-reader/tablet. I bought one when it was discovered that it ran Android and the B&N launcher could be easily bypassed to install a standard Android launcher. There was not Market at the time on it, so everything had to be sideloaded. Flash was... slow to say the least. My favorite time waster games worked, but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

This was the real killer and why Apple wouldn't allow Flash on mobile, it absolutely destroyed battery life. There were enough problems with battery life in the early days of smartphones, and enough pushback already on phones that needed charged daily, that Apple didn't want to allow Flash and give the iPhone the reputation of something that could only browse the internet while plugged into the wall.

The question isn't "can we fix it?" it's "why the gently caress would any sane, rational person want to"? Back in Flash's heyday, I remember Mozilla saying that it was the cause of over 90% of all Firefox crashes. They specifically wrote error recovery code to make sure a Flash crash wouldn't take down the whole browser.

Cathode Ray Dude is the Youtube channel run by Twitter's @gravislizard. He hasn't posted many videos this year (understandably) but he just dropped this banger on the history of home video (as in ones you record of yourself, not just taping from TV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Uc-JxJzYI

There are a couple of open source recreations of Flash out there. Not sure how good these are at being direct replacements though. https://opensource.com/alternatives/flash-media-player

The regular Flash installers you download for Windows seem to be just downloaders that probably won't work after the end of this year, but if you go to https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html the debug downloads seem to be full installers. In a Windows XP VM with no network access, I installed the last Firefox to support XP plus one of those debug plugins and I was able to view some flash stuff I'd saved from some sites years ago. It seems like at worst you might need to set your clock back if the debug installer checks if it's past the end of 2020

Been toying with the idea of getting a CRT for my retrogaming and someone in my area is more or less giving away a Trinitron. I'm tempted but extremely wary of the rumours of its weight.
