   Flash plugin was an unstable and insecure piece of sh*t, but it was impressive in that it did let you run vector animation synced perfectly with audio on a computer that has too low hardware specs to even run an HTML5-capable browser at all. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

     @TheQuQu The main reason Flash died is because of FUD campaign paid by Google who felt their web standarts monopoly threatened.

     It was Apple who pushed the hardest. Google actually for a while had Flash on Android.

     Before flash went away in Android and Adobe decided to kill it instead of making it FOSS or some shit because Adobe is a shit company too, memes like this weren't uncommon to mock iToddlers.

     @pawlicker @TheQuQu Yeah, no one is free of sin. Arguably, current web is even more of a clusterfuck than it was back when Flash was still around.

     @Moon @mint Cripples aren't entitled to the internet, and 1024x768 should be enough for anyone.

     @mint @TheQuQu you couldn't make flash accessible and it was impossible to make it scale gracefully to different display ratios and sizes and it was a security nightmare

     @hj @pawlicker @TheQuQu I'm like five commits behind latest develop branch, but now I recall I changed CSP in nginx to allow loading images over HTTP. Dunno if I'll bother adding unsafe-eval there.

     @mint @pawlicker @TheQuQu you need newer BE OR you can add needed CSP yourself in nginx i guess
