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.

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