And here I thought DVI offered lossless signal transmission
Well done now get out
Also in the larger pin array
whoa nice!
For all who do not understand it: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
I have even more questions now
We hope answers can be found
they even did it twice to drive the point home…jeez
Took a bit for the first, missed the other one. Damn.
DVI-L? More like DVI-Loss
Ah ty for the clue
Yeah I got it when I realized there’s no such thing as DVI-L haha
I appreciate the quality of this image. The joke would’ve been conoletely loss if it had been a shitty jpeg
Just wait for a couple of more reposts
What am I supposed to… You sneaky bastard.
I need to cut down on my internet consumption.
It’s loss isn’t it…
This cant be
This is AI generated for sure
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 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 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.
Wow, I’m impressed you’ve been able to avoid Loss for so long.
I’ve also never seen it before now …
Me neither. I’m not sure how that makes me feel.
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.
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.
It’s about Loss mate. ( I have no idea either. )
I there’s a loss in signal during game play, you lose the game
Fuck
deep inhale … slow exhale Give me strength.
