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?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

It's about Loss mate. ( I have no idea either. )
