#142These comments are rough. Some weird hostility to self-expression in here. "Back in my day, laptops were about TECHNOLOGY! Where's the conservative stickers!?" Ok, put some "conservative stickers" on your laptop and submit a pic to the site-- no one's stopping you. I was born in early 90s; all laptops in my memory have weird, silly stickers on them.
It's hilarious how ready to be angry people are, these are mosaics and all we have if pro laptops are destined to be grey or less grey

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"?
Because of that keyword, "was." The conservative stance has shifted to become more aligned with fascism.

#144I don't have a great picture of mine that isn't obscured by other "stuff" in frame, but for an idea of what my laptop looks like, see: https://fogbeam.com/free-kevin.jpg
Some of those books seem interesting, how were the memory, attention, behaviour ones?
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#145Wow most of these are quite the contrast to what I used to see back in the day. At least in my circles it was just a collection of the technologies you’ve learned and enjoy. These are more like bumper stickers on the back of car. To each their own I suppose.
When I was going to conferences, my laptop stickers were a public display of "these are technologies that I use and you can strike up a conversation with me about them." To an extent, a resume that you can glance at from across the room. It's a bit of a statement for what you're trying to communicate with that lid - professional experience, political statements, personal "this is neat"... And part of this is a for me…
That's why even though I like the weird and esoteric stickers you see here, I myself prefer the `unixstickers` style I think you're talking about. Debian, Arch, GNU, Python, bash, Ruby, Git, Vim, fork bomb, Tux, DEFCON, 127.0.0.1, &c. These are great for starting conversations, even in cafes. And you end up meeting some interesting people with shared culture.

In general I agree, left-leaning ones are way more common. Maybe you are correct regarding the reasons. But I've definitely seen conservative ones too, with libertarian ones being more common among those (e.g., saw a number of "Who is John Galt?" stickers some years ago).
"Libertarian" and "Conservative" are not inherently linked, even though sadly they're often associated. There are many left-libertarians.

I wonder if stickers in general are more common in the US just like bumper stickers are. As someone based outside of the US, I rarely see people with stickers on their laptop. The very vast majority of cars also do not have bumper stickers here (and those that do might have one at most).
Maybe. When I was in Uni (3 years ago), everyone had stickers on their laptops and water bottles. Generally related to ones interests and hobbies.

#148It's interesting that these are labelled 'creative'. They all look the same. They all reflect similar taste. Quite a bit of politics, but is there a single right wing sticker? I couldn't find one. I was at SIGGRAPH many years ago in a line behind some artists. They were talking about how all the engineers dressed the same. This is true. But was also true was that you easily tell the artists as well, they all dressed…
> They all look the same. They all reflect similar taste. Quite a bit of politics, but is there a single right wing sticker? I couldn't find one.
If one of the laptops had a libertarian flag added, suddenly it would become "creative"? All these photos⁰¹²³⁴ are aesthetically distinct. Sure, you can see trends in the website but that's always a thing, specially considering nobody there is designing stickers.
I also find it curious that you conflate social signaling with lack of (true) creativity. If all you ate was bacon, would you sneer at the foodies for making homemade pesto and not unleashing their free will by adding strawberry jam to it?

Re: Laptops with Stickers
#149It'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
This is why I've always wanted some sort of removable skin I can put my stickers on and be able to take them with me when I need to depart with my device
I too have wanted this. There are now laptop skin products that they claim are removable and re-attachable.
