    No more Cool Math games. Will solve some problems in schools.

    Furries will be upset about the sacred yiff animations, but with a large portion being nerds they have no excuse for not knowing about HTML5.

    @vane There is/was GNU flash player, too. I have no idea about the current development.

    @sbiewald yup it’s called gnash but this one runs native inside web :)

    Just like fortran and mainframe code, everything stays, just changed place to web assembly 😂

    @sbiewald chromium's pepper flash could probably be pulled out as a standalone thing, too.
    (Could be wrong, though, it could be one of those things that only comes with chrome, or it could already be standalone and I'm dumb)

    @vane it's thankfully a long way away from being an in-drop replacement or browser supported, in any way, from what I understand you'd have to write some sort of container that renders it all out, which an addon can't do, so literally need a browser that features that? lol

    @JoshBent As far as I remember ( I was flash dev) all of original flash was embedded using javascript anyway so I don’t think it’s a problem to replace embedding as flashplayer to embedding as wasm implementation and injecting wasm flashplayer to the content.

    It’s easy to write browser extension like that since wasm is javascript and is supported by most of modern browsers.

    @vane cool, that thing may enable flash on mobile browsers.

    I get the hate for flash, but I'm saddened by the lack of support for projects that hope to keep all of that hard work accessible. There are some great games and animations I'd be really sad to see completely disappear.
