And here I thought DVI offered lossless signal transmission
Well done now get out
For all who do not understand it: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
I have even more questions now
We hope answers can be found
Also in the larger pin array
they even did it twice to drive the point home…jeez
DVI-L? More like DVI-Loss
Oh that’s why that plug often lost connection
It’s loss isn’t it…
I still don’t get it
The pins are Loss
I still don’t get it…
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?
Thank you for this context. I was truly at a loss.
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.
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.
Fair. I certainly had to resurrect WTH loss meant when I joined Lemmy. I was more thinking the Venn diagram of people still clinging to Loss, and people on Lemmy is probably not a perfect circle. But who knows.
Wow, I’m impressed you’ve been able to avoid Loss for so long.
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.
I’ve also never seen it before now …
Me neither. I’m not sure how that makes me feel.
What am I supposed to… You sneaky bastard.
This cant be
This is AI generated for sure
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.
Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway
Nanoraptor’s photoshop
Edit: who the @@@ follows me around downvoting me, especially when it’s simply correct answers
I there’s a loss in signal during game play, you lose the game
Fuck
