Is this a meme from when JPEG was new and a 56k modem was considered blazingly fast?

Unfortunately in the universe where this was created Lempel and Ziv never existed and so lossless compression never really took off. If it did they (and other computer scientists) might have their own logos here too

It's certainly not modern. Those designs are in like a 90s or maybe 2000s style. It isn't the minimalist style of today.

It's an S for Summation

It should be a D though, because it fucks students

to me, this looks more like how they'd stylize their own names while doodling in their trapper keepers

Who is the third one down in the first column?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Democritus, famous for founding the idea of Atomism in Ancient Greece.

That's not who he asked for.

Third down in first column is the one written in Greek.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It reads "demokritos". I'll leave it to someone else to link to his wiki page, since i am on my phone and can't handle it...
