Today's kids don't understand the struggle of 8 color gifs

[–] grue@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Neither do today's adults, since gifs always allowed up to 256 colors. (The "8" you're probably thinking of was the number of bits per pixel.)

256 colors per frame, and not all pixels have to change in each frame.
