I wondered, Browsers work really well, are already there anyways, have all the GPU stuff etc already dealt with.
It could use the Browsers screencast ability on all platforms, and run with Javascript and WASM.
The stuff could be installed in a local Podman container and thus also work natively on Linux.
Do you know an app that does this, client-side?
I’ve ran OBS on a 5 year old Chromebook with 32GB storage using Linux to stream to Twitch, I think most computers are capable of running OBS to record a video.
I’m not talking about OBS. I’m talking about the “bloat doesn’t matter. Just buy a new PC” philosophy
Noone in this chain implied that
Yes because atzanteol said it directly
The idea that a web application for screen recording is less bloat than OBS is absurd. As this was the idea presented by OP, atzanteol reacted by figuratively saying that the word no longer had any meaning. Given the context, this was quite clearly not an attempt to downplay the effects or severity of software bloat, but simply a figurative use of the phrase meant to point out how badly the word bloat had been misused. You completely misinterpreted their comment. Then, when this was pointed out to you, you proceeded to do the Reddit thing of mockingly editing your original downvoted comment, successfully making an ass out of yourself.
Sorry but I did not and still do not see that atzanteol’s comment was about web screen recorders. It can be my English or it can be your desire to “be like the crowd” and fight me. Idk
Its your english
I didnt understand that statement though.
A browser is simply the bottom line. Its the stuff I always open up. It is always in RAM.
Firefox has more stable screencast capabilities than many recorders.
Feature creep is a hallmark of “software bloat”. Using a web browser to do something completely unrelated to it’s core functionality is pretty much the definition of “bloat”.
Obs is purpose-built to do the thing you want to do. That it also has features you don’t want does not make it “bloated”.
