Do you not recall that flash was a the worst of the closed source rubbish.
It never played well on any system I cared to use. The tools to generate it were unavailable to the likes of me and a lot of people here, who back in the day were second class citizens.
Also it tried to make the the Web TV before there was anywhere enough processing power at the ends nor bandwidth in the middle.
Designers on their expensive powerful machines built magnificent content that nobody who respected the technology in their personal stack, and paid a reasonable price for their infrastructure could use.
Well, back in the day we may have been second class citizens. How the world has changed. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

- pjmlp 6y agoProbably the GNU/Linux users that now jump of joy when given Electron apps or Wine/Proton based games.
- ogre_codes 6y agoNever really thought about what a blessing Electron is for Linux users. Electron means Linux Desktop users are a build away rather so they get the same resource hogging apps Windows and Mac users do.
