15MB GIF file. I can't man, I just can't. I literally can not.

Can't seek. Can't select text. And I get to use 15x the bandwidth I should have to load it.

Please. Stop. Please. It's gross to take beautifully compressable, seekable, accessible text, shove it into the absolute worst format possible for video, and then call that good.

If you must insist, please at least link to the raw asciinema, or their web viewer. So that I can load it in a fraction of the time, pause it, seek forward and backward, and copy-paste text. I know, I know, who would want any of that. Much better a GIF that loops so fast it's basically meaningless to anyone but the creator.
