twitter's Journal: Celebrating GNash Working with YouTube.

Gnash now works reliably with Iceweasel in Lenny. Flash advertising is annoying at first but a right click brings up two nice features. The most obvious ones are movie control, sound and quit controls. The less obvious feature is a start in pause mode in preference so you are only subjected to flash you want to see. This feature was not quite working for me yet nor was the save file option. Movies started from pause showed only a white screen, so you have to disable pause for the few pages where you want to see things. Clive will save things until the right click dialog is fixed. Sites like YouTube work very well. Rejoice! another evil format has been conquered by user friendly free software. The level of control is already superior to ordinary Flash.

What better way to celebrate than to compile a collection of Vista sucks videos? Here are more than 50 people, including Bill Gates, saying how much they hate Vista. This is intended as a complement to the Vista Failure Log. It's one thing to read about this stuff and it's another to see it yourself.

Gnash doesn't work

I hate to douse your fire man but Gnash is not nearly done yet. The extended controls are great but Gnash only works with a really small handful of sites. For now, it's only useful if the only site you visit is YouTube.
I long for the day where it will work completely since I have a severe dislike for Adobe's Flash but I'm afraid it'll take another year(s).

The biggest problem lies in the EULA of Adobe Flash. Once you installed it, you're not allowed to work on any replacement. Of course this EULA probably w
