> 50 years from now, flash emulators will still work on swf files
I'm not sure 50 years from now there will be flash emulators. Who is going to write on for the XP3.12345235 Fruity Ununpentium Silicon x256^2 neuralink devices.
Didn't Flash die because iPhones weren't going to support it? So one of the major OSes people spend most of their lives on can't even run SFW files. Can Android? I've honestly never tried.
But web standards persist.
Ruffle, the Flash runtime emulator, does run in the browser.
50 years from now there will be emulators that can run the OSes of today that can run flash emulators.
Assuming RAM and GPU prices come down again so that we can afford to buy our own hardware instead of running everything in the cloud, which forbids "nefarious" software. /s?
