The rich got richer

The only people at the time who thought it was a good idea were people that liked apple products. Everyone else just complained that the web was 90% flash, so iPads/iPhones are useless.

There was more outrage at lack of flash support than there was from removing optical drives, and people put up quite a stink with that as well.

Really?? Damn. It was a huge thing. Got a resurgence after the iPad came out and still didn’t support flash. Was a big circlejerk about it in every tech forum

I remember when the iPhone was “doomed to fail” because it didn’t support flash

Lemmy, why is windows so much better than Linux?
