[gpast_panama]

It's only one small leap for computer freedom, but it's a long-awaited one-  
the end of Adobe Flash:  
https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/07/25/1615220/adobe-announces-that-in-2020-flash-player-will-reach-its-end-of-life-in-light-of-newer-technologies.  
To quote Adobe (in corporatese):

"Today, most browser vendors are integrating capabilities once provided by  
plugins directly into browsers and deprecating plugins. Given this progress,  
and in collaboration with several of our technology partners -- including  
Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla -- Adobe is planning to  
end-of-life Flash. Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the  
Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any  
existing Flash content to these new open formats."
