Back in August Adobe reversed its decision to stop offering an NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux and promised that version 23 would come Penguinistas' way real soon now.
At the time the decision was greeted with surprise, because Adobe had not thought to update Flash for Linux since 2012's version 11.2. But the company decided that Linux users deserved a security upgrade to the infamously hole-ridden product.
It turns out the company fibbed, because it's now delivered version 24 of the plugin to Linux users, making this a thirteen-version jump between releases*.
That's the same version number offered to Windows and Mac users, but the new Linux version lacks features found on those other platforms. Linux users willing to put up with almost-certainly-insecure** will therefore have to put up with missing 3D acceleration from GPUs.

Good morning all and happy 2017!! Looks like 2017 starts with the famous Ironic Clown. The ironic clown does not know his own language very well and assumes people who do know it are foreign!! Ironic Clown 2017!!
Look there guy. I'll explain it to you, since it is clear that not only do you not know the meaning of "trilingual", you still don't get the joke.
1st gen Mexicans born in Dallas are bilingual. 9th gen Irish who take some high school Spanish are not.
"English is #2". This thread is about shitty English being fine on a forum. Get it now Watson?
But we have moved on from laughing at joke #1. That was last year. This year we are laughing at joke #1. That's you - get it? The kid who is not very bright and likes to make a fool of himself. If you're stupid and you know it and you really want to show it, if you really want to show it... just say or type anything. Anything at all will do.
Maybe explain to me how that was out of a nursery rhyme and quote something bland from King of the Hill.
