Adobe Makes Flash on GNU/Linux Chrome-Only 404
ekimd writes "Adobe has anounced their plans to abandon future updates of their Flash player for Linux. Partnering with Google, after the release of 11.2, 'the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the 'Pepper' API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe.' Viva la HTML 5!"
And it appears that Mozilla won't be implementing Pepper anytime soon.
Goodbye, Adobe (Score:5, Funny)
Your days are numbered, and the number is not particularly large.

It's a fun rollercoaster.
Used to be a major pain to get flash running on linux. Then it got a little easier. Then 64bit came out and it got annoying again. Then they released a 64bit plugin and it got easier (unless you run jackd, then it's a royal pain in the ass). Then they stopped updating it and it became annoying.. then they did update it and it became easier again.. ANNNDDD now it's gonna get annoying again :D
