Adobe has started blocking Flash content for computer users across the world, now displaying a warning instead that advises them to uninstall Flash Player.
After thriving throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and then limping through the 2010s in a post-iPad world, Adobe Flash and Flash Player is officially finished. Issuing its final Flash update in December, Adobe announced its intent to block Flash content from running from today, January 12, 2021.

It's kind of a sad day. I spent a lot of time on places like newgrounds when I was young. Flash powered a huge part of the web in those days. To be fair, flash could be an awful experience, different plugin versions, questionable security, shockwave.....
But, the ease of the development tools meant that a lot of strange, unique, interesting and just cool content was created. There's not really anything like the flash authoring tools that exists today.
Setting up an html5 canvas has a decently higher barrier of entry compared to the old flash tools.
Anyway, just posted this as a little farewell to flash.
