The bug with grub2 a few months ago was even more serious: it made systems unbootable. It's discomfiting to see two major bugs so close to each other. -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>

Frankly, I'm glad to see flash die just a little earlier. It's not really comparable to the terrible EFI/shim issue that happened, which was terrible for servers and workstations that can't be reached remotely because they're wedged in the boot, especially in these times when a lot of people are WFH. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

Using Firefox to watch videos is a basic activity.Even worse is that it is a failure for Google Voice and Google Hangouts -- I use these to implement my home phone at present. I cannot use my cell phone, since I don't have cell service at my house and cannot afford to pay $60+/month for a cruddy copper landline.> > The bug with grub2 a few months ago was even more serious: it made > systems unbootable.

To notice the bug, all you have to do is try to watch any video at Youtube or elsewhere, if the video has sound. -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>
