You're clearly more careful with resource consumption than many, then. Many times I've had enough time to start coffee while waiting for a .gif to get through

You're clearly more careful with resource consumption than many, then. Many times I've had enough time to start coffee while waiting for a .gif to get through its first pass so I can usefully watch it, using rural satellite from Hughes. We're still using your stuff out here.
- hedora 5y agoHughes is latency-bound, not bandwidth bound. For it to take that long, they’d have to try really hard. For instance, the map could issue an http[s] request per frame.
- kazinator 5y agoWas it a TTY animation with most frames changing very few pixels (like one character cell), often with quiescent periods when nothing changes due to nobody typing? Gifs can do silly things, like store a sequence of full frames.
