Laptops with Stickers

Re: Laptops with Stickers
#162These 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.
To be fair, I bet pictures with "Yay Facism!" stickers are probably taken down, as they should be.
Where do you draw the line? One of them says "Socialist alternative".

Most of the stickers I've got have just been given to me. At house parties or conventions or with clothes I bought. I've then commissioned an artist to draw my own stickers which I got printed and hand out. Stickers get handed around like business cards so the stickers on your laptop/fridge are almost like a record of the people you met.
Would love to see your commissioned stickers, if you were inclined to share.
I don't really have any public share links for them, but the last one I got was my fursona as an Among Us character. I've wanted to get another set drawn up for a bit but the artists I was interested in either had really long wait times (1 year) or were quite expensive. I might just draw some myself when I get some time.

#164There are laptops with a display on the outside to display stickers.[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrINRHeNDQA
This tech looks like it would be annoying to other people in a cafe/workplace/etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1drVhn0hLiI&t=40s What I think would be ideal with current tech is non-backlit e-ink color. Maybe displaying a static image that usually doesn't change while at a location. You could use e-ink display changes when switching between modes, for example: * corporate in-office staid, or internal team flair;…
> could use e-ink
E-ink is getting affordable. A 7.5" display for stickers would probably add under $100 to the price of a laptop.[1] Not many colors, but supposedly good saturation.

I've got stickers on my laptops. None of them are political, but I've got various indie fashion brands, music related, furry stickers, etc. If someone managed to be offended by them that's more their problem than mine. I can go work anywhere and have enough savings that it would be no inconvenience to me. I wouldn't want to work with someone who couldn't handle some trivial self expression on the back of a laptop. So…
HN is still not a quarter as sensitive as most corporations that aren't tech.
Most other industries are very exposed to external clients or customers. Software developers who sit in an office and only see other internal employees have no reason cover up their personality like that.

Agreed, some weird hostility. I have laptops going back to the 90s all slapped up!
BTW I've been following LK for quite a while now and hope to use it sometime in the future. My regular DM is committed to a different platform, but I have a story that might turn into a campaign and I'd sub to LK to run it. Keep up the great work!

#167In my professional experience the number of stickers on a laptop is generally inversely proportional to the owner’s ability to write software, or even use said computer for that matter.
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#168Unfortunately, my company asked me to remove the stickers, as they don’t reflect the company…
When I got an internship at Amazon, I (ironically) plastered my cubicle with all the leadership principles ("LP's"), in over-happy fonts. But the leadership did not realize I was being tongue-in-cheek, and I suspect my cubicle decorations had a significant positive impact on my success there, lol. In the end I even started to believe the LP's, so maybe they knew something I didn't.
Hilarious! You faked it and then you made it! Love it.
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#169It'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
There are clear cases for that exact use.
