I get the feeling about 90% of those laptops belong to either cyber security folks or rust developers. Just a gut feeling.

It's funny, I am in cybersecurity but I have always liked keeping my laptop free of stickers. Always seemed like "trying too hard" to me. And as much as I love my laptop, much like my Fluke 87V, I value it as a tool, not a means of self-expression.

Maybe I am just boring, lol. I did use an original copy of the PGP source code book as a monitor stand though!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've never seen a conservative sticker on a laptop before. Then again, stickers, tags, etc. are more of an anti establishment thing. Those things don't mesh well with conservative views.

Wasn't long ago that opposition to fascism was the conservative position. Why is a sticker expressing the same considered "progressive"?

Why indeed? Why is this something people now have to care about again? https://www.realtimefascism.com/

It's funny awkward when you get fired and your laptop is covered in stickers I'll submit mine later today to this comment, I'm a poser lol eg. I don't daily drive Rust but I like the crab and the Gopher Kinkpad lol that's good

One time when I left a job and had some really rare stickers I bought an identical ThinkPad and swapped the entire upper half of the machines with each other.
