Flash is still fine for general use like youtube on desktop computers.
Hey look an 'Occupy' for the internet, didn't see that coming. But, honestly, I agree with this. Flash sucks ass, and people really need to get into using HTML 5 more. Though I don't see how the 'Occupy' will really work.
Shouldn't this be de-occupy flash
Flash can do a lot more than HTML5 can as it is, this is dumb.
this is fucking stupid HTML 5 is great, but there's a lot of advantages to using flash this is one of the dumbest internet protests i've heard of i also love how they remain anonymous because it adds legitimacy. it only adds legitimacy because by remaining anonymous nobody can prove that you aren't a professional web developer that has even a basic understanding of why flash can still be useful.
Yeah, how the fuck is this occupy. That's the problem with trying to go with naming trends and ending up making a big fuckup, like naming closed source software Open-something. In any case, the solution is to attempt to make a rival plugin not really make the users uninstall the current one.
Big Bang, the "rival plugin" is a feature of every browser worth it's bytes, it's called html. What are the advantages of flash over html5? Have you seen what html5 can do? [URL]http://www.chromeexperiments.com/[/URL] Still, this movement is retarded, let people make their own choices, html5 is making it's way slowly but surely anyway.
While I like HTML5 I never had any crashes with flash up until Apple said it was bad.

[QUOTE=TheCactusman;33332340]Half of those don't work on my PC.[/QUOTE] what is your system specs? a lot of those use WebGL which means they're rendering game-quality graphics in your browser but yeah, HTML5 is amazing, but as of right now i trust flash more in terms of support for a large market i prefer HTML5 personally, but i think boycotting flash is just stupid
But what actual [I]difference[/I] would it make? I'll use what I want to/have to, thanks
I like Flash, I feel like the only one. :(
I would say yeah flash is annoying but I've never really seen much use of html 5 & I'm not that technically minded for code so I don't know about using them.
won't this destroy newgrounds
hasnt adobe already laid off a bunch of people because of html5
As it is, Flash is easier to work with than HTML5 is, the change will happen eventually, but now is not the time.

Don't get me wrong I hate adobe flash but they've pretty much got a monopoly on the internet with how much stuff needs it. So this is pretty dumb.
Heh, Firefox hangs on me more than Flash does. HTML5 is nowhere near assuming the functionality that Flash provides. Although I would love for HTML5 to have all of this functionality included, paying for the Flash developer tools is ridiculous.
Needs some ladies to occupy my dick with their mouths.

[QUOTE=Eric95;33355201]Go to IT school Get free software[/QUOTE] With a 1.5 year license. I've already cashed in on Photoshop and 3DS max.
[i]De-Occupy Mac[/i] Jk, but this is absolutely retarded, Ya i'll just uninstall flash and not watch Youtube or some features on Steam.
While I dislike Flash, I still need it. Most online video hosts still use it. Many YouTube videos are Flash-only. Besides, Flash works just fine on my Android phone.
99% of crashes are caused by 1% of plugins?
Idiots. Why would you use a technology that is still WIP and not yet fully supported by any browser?

'inspired by other occupy movements' wow. fuck off
HTML5 should be used for somethings videos not everything
