Nanoraptor's photoshop

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

Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway

[-] yozul@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day 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 day ago

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

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

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

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours 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.

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

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

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

[-] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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 2 points 1 day 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.

[-] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

It's about Loss mate. ( I have no idea either. )

Zoom in on the left hand end of the connector.

DVI-L? I feel stupid that I’m missing something obvious!
