     @romin Yes, you should burn all files in the Jraphics Interchange Format.

     @Suiseiseki I save everything to LOSSLESS formats because I'm not POOR and can AFFORD the STORAGE space.

     @romin The thing is, although GIF is technically a lossless format, in practice it's unable to store enough colours in one image to be useful, so GIF encoding is more often than not lossy.
     
     Most GIF encoders dither the crap out of input images to simulate more colours per image than GIF is able to handle, with the result being a crap quality image, missing colours and a bad looking dither.
     
     PNG and APNG replace the GIF format entirely and don't have bizarre colour limitations.
     
     Due to the difficulty of storing noise losslessy, converting GIF's to APNG's will sometimes result in a larger APNG, but I'm sure you can afford the extra storage space.

     @romin Why on earth would I run proprietary malware JavaScript to communicate with m$ controlled SaaSS?
     
     All my posts are artisanally handcrafted.

     @Suiseiseki you could just use curl.

     @romin Curl can allow me to create an account and provide a phone number without me having to run proprietary software?
     
     Even if that's can be done, there's still the problem of the m$ controlled SaaSS.
     
     
     I prefer GNU wget myself.

     Miss me with that.
     
     I'm not too sure if the software is proprietary or not, as the licensing status isn't clear.
     
     Of course you would fail to accept pure unadulterated freedom.
