Newgrounds still exists and is like you guys a nice little museum that is super important for preserving the past and the future. I honestly think that we are past a point and the whole corporate bullshit attack on the internet has failed. I might be wrong, but we survived Stalingrad

There are several porting stacks but they are incomplete. Notably, Adobe is holding several patents that prevent completion, as well as the keychain for the digital rights management system.

This is why I have a flash player and have downloaded archives of flash videos and games years ago.

This. Snaaaaaake

As far as I'm concerned, the Internet underwent a massive downgrade when Flash became no longer supported. #Homestar4Life

If we had the will, capitalism could go away, too.

From what I know, Flash was discontinued in favour of HTML 5, since it posed too much of a security risk with no real benefit from patching it. You can still use a standalone flash player, although, web sources are unloadable, you'll have to manually download the swf file.

What about Director Shockwave!!

I learned to animate with Flash. I miss it.

SNAKE A SNAAAAAAAKE

three cheers for Flashpoint 🙌

We have both ruffle and @flashpointarchive.org to revisit flash stuff after it's discontinuation

See also the BBC Domesday Project from 1986, and the projects to rescue the data as it was basically unreadable by 2002

@tymime.bsky.social

I don't miss Flash at all.

Similarly patent law prevents implementing several other functions. The majority not implemented are patents, digital rights management, and proprietary Adobe asset storage.

Flash was a security nightmare

I mean, there's Ruffle.

OH NO!!!!! SAVE THE BADGAHHH!!! GUITAR SOLO!!!!! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA

Was expecting a ‘get physical book delivered’ button 😏

Still going at least.

Badger badger badger badger SNAKE SNAKE

Really? This not an April fool? Preserve FLASH? Like, we moved to having cool things in HTML and CSS and you miss FLASH? Also a proprietary technology? I'm out for this one.
