How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle#flash#adobe#webdev#javascript#rust#retrogaming
Hey, remember a decade ago when #Adobe decided to charge a revshare on people using cross-compiled game engines in #Flash and everyone jumped ship to #Unity ? i.e. the exact thing Adobe was trying to prevent?
Sunday night in #PalmSprings is going to be quite crazy with #flash#flooding. I would not recommend driving through there that evening on the way to #Phoenix.
I just realized that the major reason that The #Flash (2023) is so watchable is Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne. I’m so slow witted.
I mean, once they go ”Back to the future” the storytelling picks up too, and Ezra Miller is working hard, but it was Bruce Wayne, General Zod, and Kara Zor-El that glued my attention to the film instead of my phone

「 It's been over three years since Adobe officially pushed Flash Player to End-Of-Life, after years being on the decline. In the open-source world there's been various Flash efforts over the years like Gnash while the Ruffle project is the most significant one still tackling Flash Player emulation 」
Holy cripes! This #WebAssembly project could revive an entire lost generation of interactive content built in #Flash (thousands upon thousands of beloved titles.)
For any youngins': #Adobe Flash was tech that brought playful, app-like interactivity to the web before mobile apps even existed. Unlike choppy, low-res pixel graphics of the day, Flash delivered butter-smooth vector animation meaning all those forgotten apps will scale to HD screens, no jaggies in sight.
