     Or better yet: remove Adobe Flash altogether as I did a long time ago :-)

     I actually don't have it on my Fedora box. With Minitube working quite well, I don't really have a need for it.

     I'd be more than happy to remove adobe #flash, but how do we cope with sites that require flash for video, beside youtube?

     Yeah, and HTML5 video with webm works on quite many videos on youtube these days.

     Did you know Flash sort of has died on #GNU? This is the last release. Most sites don’t use #WebM because they “hate our freedom”.

     fla$h simple do not work with us, is Proprietary, it is bad for our freedom! if you like Ubuntu try Trisquel, 100% FREE SOFTWARE!

     I just checked vimeo.com and they seem to have html5 support as well. I don't know of any other popular video sharing sites :-) cc: @mjjzf

     @sazius vimeo doesn't do webm. only h264 (or flash).

     OK, I missed that since I happened to be testing it with Chromium at the time. Well, h264 is better than Flash at least.

     @sazius sort of. better for freedom in a vacuum (only patent, not sw impl problem) but strategically harms webm more.

     Flash, get out from Linux!

     I agree with all of you! But my users feel they really need #flash, that's already a miracle that they're using !Ubuntu!

     I know I need to convert them one piece at a time, so I think I can stand #flash for a while, just let them accommodate to the new system

     And of course, the main browsers will show Ogg Vorbis directly.

     Yeah, that's a reasonable strategy of course. I think the web as a whole is moving away from Flash... it's just going slowly.

     True, not many sites use Ogg Vorbis directly, though.

     Interestingly, I was talking to the guy behind Nosonja, and he used an HTML5 widget for audio: http://nosonja.org/about-nosonja/ - nice tool

     I've done that myself once, with the <audio> tag. Ironically it was the audio from a talk about the mp3 format.

     I seem to remember, though, that not all browsers supported ogg. But with the <audio> tag you can specify many alternative files.

     @sazius @mjjzf I was shocked to learn that all browsers don't support Ogg #noexcuseforit !freeculture #open #standards
