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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Just wait for a couple of more reposts

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

I need to cut down on my internet consumption.

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

This cant be

This is AI generated for sure

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months 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 10 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months 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.
