- melling 9y agoI'm hoping enough people flag this story so it's removed from the front page, and we can get back to more important stories. BTW, don't bother debating this because you'll simply be downvoted for a different opinion. Flag it off the front page and save your karma. It's time for Flash users to learn the having the web based off of closed source Adobe Flash really does have its downsides. They didn't seem to get it 10 years ago. Now it's going to disappear completely. So, in the future when someone patiently explains why you shouldn't used closed source as a web standard, maybe we can all say "remember Flash".

- StevePerkins 9y agoTens of thousands of books are written each year. Tens of thousands of songs are recorded each year. Etc. This is an absurd line of reasoning. People get permission to build Commodore 64 clones, for retro computing preservation, and Hacker News says that's great. Someone requests similar permission for Flash, and now we're upset about the notion of a proprietary codebase being open sourced? Why? Because Steve Jobs said it wasn't cool? Because you're seriously afraid that it would make a comeback, and dethrone HTML5 on the mainstream web? Guys, someone started a petition to ask a company to donate a propriety codebase after EOL. That's all. This is just idle chat, because nothing in Adobe's history suggests that they would actually consider this. Regardless, if you would rather NOT see a historically signficant codebase open sourced, then simply don't sign the petition. And take all the low-quality jokes and guffaws back to Reddit, please.
