Thanks for the information!
So we really are alienated from being able to use and benefit from the web
content that should be available to all!
No, we're not.
It is trivial to install and use the 32-bit Flash plugin from Adobe
on 64-bit Linux. The instructions for doing so are even posted on the
fedoraproject.org Wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multimedia/Flash.
I've used those instructions and they work. Take a deep breath, stop using
inaccurate, inflammatory phrases like "alienated" and "screw
us", and just install the plugin using the provided instructions if you
want to use the plugin.
It's unfortunate that there isn't a 64-bit plugin available.
Unfortunate, but not the end of the world. Plus, Adobe claims that the reason
why it isn't currently available is because they're working on making
fundamental architectural changes to it, which, if true, means that when they
do finally release it again, it'll probably be better than the 32-bit plugin.
