Re: [News] Adobe Blob Player Shows Platform Parity, But Stuck in 32-bit Era

Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

> I hear that gnash doesn't support YouTube perfectly yet

The front page of Youtube has changed recently - they used to have a
horizontally oriented "featured video" bar that didn't work properly
with Gnash, for some reason. However, they've now changed it now to a
static vertical list, so there's no problem. All the actual /videos/
work fine though.

> and that's the only thing I ever need Flash for.

Same here. Absolutely everything else I see that is Flash is just
advertising. Frankly, if it weren't for Youtube, I wouldn't bother
installing Flash support at all.

The MSBBC are also moving to that proprietary Adobe Air crud (why oh why
can't they just stick to Open Standards?). Well at least it works on
Linux (public beta), and isn't the Vole's anti-Linux-ware, but still...
