Around 2020, maybe a little earlier, I tried this little thing after falling victim to the biggest shilling campaign I've ever seen. The result? It could barely open most .swf files, and they ran like shit. I was told it was a work in progress and that it was stupid to expect stuff to run well, that it was still very early and blah blah. I thought that was in fact completely fair and decided to try it later.Today, five years after (I assume) constant development, the scenario is... exactly the same. It barely opens things and they run poorly, it has graphic glitches, etc. Is this really the only alternative to Flash? Can we continue to trust open source liars?>inb4 just use flashYup, done. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I guessIs Ruffle another one of the many failed projects we see here, which were only sustained at the time by shills and fake enthusiasts? How is it possible that no visible progress has been made in real-world testing at all?
Programs via Wine, especially games, were unusable until the mid-2010s when the wine-staging branch was released. These kinds of translation layer projects reach usability not gradually, but all at once in a critical mass of compatibility. It's like that Lenin quote, "there are weeks where decades happen."It also doesn't help that they're using a language few people understand and takes a century to compile, reducing developer interest and retention.
>>107252056best explanation ive seen about it
>>107252056you are misquoting lenin
>>107251977I dunno mate, it ran every swf I tried it with.
>>107252056>Lenin quotethe one who's brain literally rotted from STDs
>>107252389kek
>>107252056You forgot the most important bit: Wine got a shitload of money from Valve. Nobody wants to bankroll Ruffle.

I tried ruffle and it just werks.
>>107252723they use ruffle for their web content so it must be decent enough
>>107251977>Around 2020, it could barely open most .swf files, and they ran like shitYeah, that was my experience too>Today, the scenario is... exactly the same. It barely opens things and they run poorly, it has graphic glitches, etc.Nah I haven't run into a single swf lately that ruffle doesn't handle just fine. They really improved the compatibility and you're full of shit.
