today adobe announced they are killing adobe animate, which was one of the last remnants of flash. instead of making it open-source, or just leaving it alone, they are stopping updates in march this year, and making the program completely unuseable next year.
i’m not gonna dwell on the usual platitudes about how evil adobe is. you’ve heard them before and you’ll hear them again. but, yea 🙃
Hbomberguy sighs as he adds another 30 minutes of runtime to his next video.
Based on his production time vs video lent length, next one will release in around a bazillion years.
I wish he would plagiarize and get 3 videos every week
And 5 more years until it gets released I reckon
I hope people put in the effort to patch out whatever time bombs Adobe puts into it like people did with Flash player.
Although unlike with Flash player, there’s probably not going to be a China version that continues to produce updates for it.
There’s also an open source runtime for flash now, to. Ruffle is super neat
Here are the links:

It’s great and for most stuff out there works very well, though it does have a few undocumented functions left that still trip some software up, which is why its good to have the originals in a working state.
But Ruffle is improving greatly so hopefully those issues will be solved soon.
I never talk about Flash. I do, however, talk about how evil adobe is.
