>They can't get a fucking flash emulator working on 2025
Amazing.

>>435202
>Probably because the new code dosen't support Flash.
They don't even have to support it, they just have to allow it to be uploaded. You can install a browser based flash player (Ruffle).

This is just lazyness on their part.

Who the fuck still make flash content in 2025? At this point wanabe animators or wanabe game programmers have way easier and better options

>Who the fuck still make flash content in 2025?
I assume teenagers and zoomers who are into niche stuff and are into 90s and 2000s webcore.

>>435220
zoomers have phone, they don't know how to install anything on a PC, even less how to program or create content without a text prompt

>>435215
Unironically, no one.

Come to think of it, I don't think /f/ has had any significant fresh content since before Covidtimes.

>>435215
I know the Flash TBOI programmer doodles on flash. But aside from that it's something mostly for archivel and nostagic purposes.

>>435237
doesn't minus8 still use flash? he used to post those back on 7chan, he still has a thread up too.

>>435202
christ, just let the board use ruffle or any other working emulator instead of throwing all of it away. don't jannies know better?

>>435239
replying to myself, but, i don't think removing /f/ would solve the problem. The site got hacked all because of a PDF and outdated frontend coding, not Flash itself.

>>435239
Ruffle is just for displaying the flash files, so it shouldn't pose any security problems (to 4chan, though may pose problems to the users).
Likewise /f/ does fuck all processing on the flash files, so removing it makes no sense, that board is not a security issue.

The only reason I can think of is that /f/ uses different posting rules/fields and a different index, and the two cent indian outsourced coder they have hired for the job doesn't want to make sense of it.

even girlsgames.com moved out of flash, time to move on.

wtf m8

but we are getting webp support, right?
RIGHT?

>>435254
We will own nothing and we will be happy.

>>435238
I see someone did some lurking

>>435254
>webp
fuck off

>>435259
I hate the file format too but it would be a good idea to add webp support

>>435259
Really weird behaviour in a thread about fucking adobe flash.

>>435254
How about we get Ruffle support instead?

>>435254
i read that webp was even more dangerous than just plain jpg/png/bmp but that might've been bullshit

>>435384
webp is just a cancer that google is pushing, they are pushing it so hard that every website is using a plugin to convert their jpg/png assets into webp. so it is dangerous in that it enforces generational data loss on every file.

with how every other site (twitter etc) is recompressing files too, and how cloudflare has a plugin to do it domain wide as well (that 4chan is using), webp should absolutely not be supported anywhere for the absurd damage it is doing to the internet.

>>435385
This. For the love of God, please do not enable people who are ignorant enough to actually ask for webp support. If they saved the first image search result they saw and then found they couldn't upload it here because it's in webp format, that's their problem for not looking harder.
