schnurrito, to linux in Ruffle (a open source re-implementation of adobe flash player) reviews improvements made in 2023

From a technical point of view you are right. But commercially, I am pretty sure many companies and developers that used to make Flash games now make mobile games. There are many mobile games that are ports of old Flash games.

It was on its way out when smartphones and HTML5 became widely adopted. Smartphones didn’t support Flash and HTML5 made sure that the things you used to need Flash for were just implemented in web browsers. Maybe you remember something along those lines.

Wikipedia says at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#End_of_life that the EOL was announced in 2017 and took effect in 2020, much less than 10 years ago.

Adobe Flash Player was deprecated some years ago, so there is no longer any functioning official software that can play Flash games. The modern equivalent are mobile games.

The reason why reimplementing it is a worthy thing to do is to preserve old software, same reason why console emulators exist.

schnurrito, to asklemmy in What salary do you think would make you happy?

I am fine with my current salary. None of the problems I have are due to having too little money. It is more that I have hardly any time to spend that money and live a fairly lonely life. None of that would be fixed by a higher salary, which is why I have little motivation to try to get promoted.

schnurrito, to linux in TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

Free software doesn’t have owners. If someone else did a better job of being the “benevolent dictator” of a fork of Linux, everyone would start using that fork. Arguably this is a more free-market system than non-free software.

schnurrito, to asklemmy in Do grown-ass lions and other big cats enjoy standard cat-treats?

Actual big cats (Panthera) can’t purr or meow to my knowledge. Cheetahs can, but they are small cats.

schnurrito, to programmer_humor in no.. just no

SQL is supposed to look like this: SELECT status, name FROM some_table LIMIT 5

schnurrito, to asklemmy in US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years?

And by now we have so many worse threats to free communication on the Internet than the copyright industry, yet the Internet is nowhere near as united against any of them as in 2012. On the contrary, everyone now calls for censorship of the other side’s “misinformation”, “hate speech”, content “harmful to minors”, etc etc.

schnurrito, to linux in What are people daily driving these days?

Debian testing. Seriously. That is reasonably easy to install and configure unlike Arch or Gentoo, but doesn’t come with “user friendly” corporate crap like Ubuntu and its derivatives.

schnurrito, to linux in Based KDE 🗿

Most likely the best distro for KDE is KDE neon, but that doesn’t mean that much.

I use it on Debian testing and am very satisfied with it, KDE has never been so stable.

schnurrito, to asklemmy in What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

Upvote: it is the same thing I was going to comment, or it is an extraordinarily good post that stands out from the masses

Downvote: it is objectively wrong or doesn’t add to the discussion at all

Vast majority of everything, I neither upvote nor downvote.

schnurrito, to asklemmy in No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?

You think the veto power is not a real power?

schnurrito, to asklemmy in Where can I NEUTRALLY keep up to date about the Palestina/Israel situation?

Neutrality isn’t a thing. Everything written about something as contentious as this is propaganda.

For attempts to be neutral, try Western mainstream media or Wikipedia (which mostly just summarizes Western mainstream media anyway).

For one sided propaganda for Israel, try elderofziyon.blogspot.com

For one sided propaganda for Palestine, try mondoweiss.net

Read all those and choose for yourself what parts of which sides you want to believe. Or don’t. You can also live in peace and happiness knowing that the conflict exists without thinking about it too much because in the end it doesn’t really matter what you think about it anyway.

schnurrito, to asklemmy in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?

Wikipedia articles are supposed to summarize “reliable sources” and be neutral among them, but not give equal weight to “unreliable sources”.

Here’s the thing: people have by now figured out that if you first define sources that say things you like as “reliable” and sources that say things you don’t like as “unreliable”, then you can turn Wikipedia into a propaganda organ for whatever you want.

Wikipedia is neither an especially good source nor an especially bad one.
