adobe's also been known to be incompetent at security (and only patched issues as they came along); macromedia had made it in a time when we were unaware of the issues that were coming

it was really doomed by its owners and by when it was made, i honestly thought it was depreciated when flash died

i'm not defending adobe when i say this, but flash WAS very good yeah, but it was a victim of how good it was as a tool (and that adobe didn't want to redo it from the ground up because of how much crap it'd break)
how good and multipurposed it was made it into an ungodly security nightmare too; but

i nod serenely as my body crumples and shrinks away into dust like a paper thrown into a bonfire

holding her out like a kiwi or perhaps a apple juice

oh no i knew that it was a shitpost
