Im watching this on a iPad :)

@importenmypcis And yet Flash is barely allowed on Apple devices. If I wanted to, I could prevent this video from playing on mobile devices, thanks to the kind of threats Stallman is talking about.

His opinions are sound. I'd much prefer free software operated phones, carriers, computers etc. Sigh, I think there are not enough Richard Stallmans around...

@TheCTimmerman Actually, they're not developing the flash player anymore, period. They've moved all their development to HTML5. Flash is dying.

@TheCTimmerman So the owner, the company, has exposed their workers to danger, which means the company is responsible.

[TheCTimmerman]

@eatcarpet I do think it's the owner's job to keep out incompetent people, but if the owner himself is...

[eatcarpet]

@TheCTimmerman So if the workers are killed or injured by aluminum explosion or exposed to n-hexane then the workers are responsible? Awesome logic there bro.

@emperorinsaino And flash on android sucks and yet i would not care =P

[eatcarpet]

@TheCTimmerman Your point? Who's ultimately responsible for the death and injury of their workers?

[TheCTimmerman]

@emperorinsaino I heard that Adobe is not developing Flash player for Linux anymore.

@eatcarpet Didn't those Chinese kids choose to leave their farms?
