I appreciate the quality of this image. The joke would've been conoletely loss if it had been a shitty jpeg

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 21 points 2 weeks ago

I need to cut down on my internet consumption.

[–] Copythis@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

It's loss isn't it....

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This cant be

This is AI generated for sure

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway

[–] yozul@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, it could be, but at some point it becomes easier to just photoshop something than to try and talk an AI into replicating some hyper-specific arrangement of tiny elements of a picture.

I didn't get it either, so I tried googling "Loss".

I think it's to do with this thing. Specifically the alignment of the little pins in the DVI port seem to be the same as for the "minimalist version of Loss" thing mentioned there on the wiki.

I have a hazy recollection of that comic from way back yonder, and it causing some sort of a hassle. Apparently the minimalist version is some meme, now? Or always has been?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for this context. I was truly at a loss.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wow, I'm impressed you've been able to avoid Loss for so long.

[–] smeenz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've also never seen it before now ...

Me neither. I'm not sure how that makes me feel.

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I never really followed ctrl+alt+del, which is prolly part of the reason. Only heard about the drama that specific comic strip caused second hand.

[–] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yep, this. In a couple places on the image at least. Thank you for connecting the lines and dots.

To answer your question, the loss meme started almost immediately after the original comic was released. It ebbs and flows in popularity, but seems to be something the internet can't let go of. Lemmy has a particular fetish for it.

Zoom in on the left hand end of the connector.
