I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

    What a ridiculous, tech-ideology-above-all-else take. Not to mention over a decade past being relevant.

    Flash could do things other technology at the time could not. It served a purpose at the time, thus its huge level of popularity.

      Many popular things are crappy. It is not an ideology, unless you consider the scientists who invented the WWW to be some freaks.

      Flash wasn’t really useful, because many people couldn’t display these websites. It was the exact opposite of WWW. WWW enabled people to use hypertext and provided accessibility.
