Also, think about viewing this on mobile networks, etc.
- glhaynes 12y agoGIFs have LZW lossless compression which I'd expect would perform pretty decently on images of terminals, with their long runs of similar colors. Probably not nearly as well as a lossy video format but a far cry from uncompressed. Edit: Oh, there are some actual numbers elsewhere in these comments.
