[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 30 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

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

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 17 points 1 month ago

This cant be

This is AI generated for sure

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway

[-] yozul@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I imagine that it is a particular crowd that is present on lemmy that holds on to this one, as I have not seen a Loss meme since 2011. Probably older americans working in tech is my best guess; especially those who consumed web comics from back in the day.
