"Internet based games or educational sites. Why most of these sites want to
lock down users with DRM and crappy web plugins for education by hiring these
assclown "firms" is beyond me. Shouldn't educational software be about as
open as it can be?"
You'd think, right? As I've said many times on here, I'm forced to use Adobe
Flash because my online high school uses an interface made entirely in Adobe
Flash, and that always uses the latest version, making it impossible for
Gnash or Lightspark to be able to render it. I mean, this is EDUCATION we're
talking about. The least they could do is allow it to be used with
HTML5/Javascript/anything that isn't flash or that's an open
standard/accessible using Free Software only (hell, even Java would be fine
since that'd run with IcedTea).
But no. Instead, they're trying to force you to use an OS that they expect
everybody to be using (Windows), with a plugin that they expect is already
installed (Flash). It's annoying as hell.
