Alternative title is Steve Job's is an asshole for killing Flash.

I am 5 beers deep right now so let me get on with this hottake. It was wrong to kill Flash because literally nothing has replaced it. It's murderer was Steve jobs in the end because it worked like shit on the iPhone. Even when they worked with Adobe on the port they could not get it to work. Check out the link it talks about it in there.

One of the lines that caught my eye in there was "by almost any definition, Flash is a closed system". The man who created the most closed system on the planet has the gall to say this line, and people still believe it to this day. The reason why Flash was so invasive was because the language that drove it was a simplified version of JavaScript. It was made so easy that it took a bit of hardware to run. They later used it for UI graphics in video games because it could present things so easily. What we got to replace it was JavaScript + HTML5. From a sysadmins perspective JavaScript is full of nothing but pitfalls for new players to the point it seems like its written that way.

I want you to think back to all the jank flash games you played like Happy Wheels. Yea we kind of get those games in Unity but not at the replability as older flash games. Do you remember playing Elona Shooter before even finding out what the Elona series was about? Did Nanaca✝Crash make you wish for all those hours of your life back? Do I age myself by talking about these things? I think part of what makes the internet so good is how accessible it is to do things with it. Killing a language that only lets more people do shit is a sin.

Thanks for reading. I am probably gonna tap out after this because its late so I will check my inbox for replies. If you want anything out of me you have to find out on the next episode of CoolYori Z!

You all don't understand you have to always be updating your threat model by doing ocular pat-downs. How are you to know when something is a security risk or not?

Microsoft to FTC: We desperately need this Activision/Blizzard acquisition to keep competitive in the market.

Gotta make California look like a crime ridden hellscape as much as they can. When I told my friends and family members I was moving to south LA they all said how they were scared for my life. How I was gonna get shot going to the gas station and robbed like its something that happens all the time.

I'm just not into the type of content that game provides I think. I have been vibing and playing something called INFRA. You play a civil engineer who goes around taking pictures of safety violations while fixing things like water treatment plants along the way. Its done in the source engine so feels super comfy to play for me as its mostly urban exploration based.

Everyone keeps asking me if I want to play or am going to play. Its like dood the game is like Rust. I fucking hate Rust.

 

I knew it was a good idea to hold off telling my parents I am never coming back to that shithole of a state ever again. Now I can just point at this and say I dont like spending time being locked up for needing to take a piss.

Hey look they are talking about the company I work for. My company got sold to private equity then they bought up another company that has like sub 25 bed hospitals in rural areas throughout places like Texas and "merged" them with us. They did this by not using their own money but by taking out large bank loans. Cowards cant even live up to their "I am risking my money here" personas they like to project.

I just got a game called Eila and Something Shiny that just happens to have an official TTS module. Its a game with 5 chapters and each is a choose your own adventure type game that you play with other people. You follow the story of Eila and the people she meets along the way. There are quite a few endings to the games acts but you want to go in knowing as little as you can. Sadly it only has chapter 0 and 1 in TTS. I dont know if your friend and you can meet up IRL but it would be fun to start it to see if you like it.

Sometimes these types of outfits have hidden drop seats. Kind of like these overalls that I found today.

Yea Brigham Young was a special type of monster because of how he viewed slavery as something that can be eternal in nature. Just imaging some guy telling you that after you die you are still going to be his slave. Mormon slavery was so huge that they founded towns around it like San Bernardino.

 

I just found this salsa at my local grocery store and its so flavorful. I enjoy how thick it is as well as the fact its not vinegar based. I have a big bottle of the green one too but this is the first one I have cracked open. I am super excited to see what it all goes with since it feels so versatile.
