I once (legally) bought a second hand laptop with a big anti-theft sticker on it. The sticker warned that removing it would leave a big "STOLEN!" mark, which it did. I covered it up with a new sticker.

This is the main reason I've never gotten a tattoo - how I feel about whatever it is will almost certainly change.
But you can also use them as a reminder of how you felt/who you were when you got them. Even someone who get a very trendy tattoo should keep it: "look how I used to follow every trend and how I evolved because I would never do something like that now". Biologically and philosophically, tattoos are scars.
Getting scars on purpose is a quite questionable decision.

#413I used to like stickers too when I was a child.
Being childlike is what makes us able to live in a society. We explore new things, don't stop learning, and forgive mistakes made along the way. Like wolves, who started being more like how they are in their puppy phase (playful, friendly, exploratory), thereby being possible to domesticate and now called dogs, we've domesticated ourselves (from the common ancestor we had with great apes) in that there was apparently an evolutionary advantage to be less physically imposing and more like, well, as we are today
(Based on what I remember from a books called Tamed by Alice Roberts)

Re: Laptops with Stickers
#415My favourite sticker is a play on „Atomkraft? Nein danke!“ [0] (nuclear power? No thanks!) and says: „Atomzeit? Nein danke!“ (Atomic time? No thanks!) [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Power%3F_No_Thanks
There's also one with Fernfusion (as a reference to the sun, made clear with a depiction) but I don't remember if it continues as "yes please" or "no thanks". I guess the former for solar power fans and the latter for vampires and night owls / hackers. Something for everyone ^^

#416I got rid of all mine after getting disillusioned with every one of the causes they represented.

Removing a sticker is easier than getting rid of a tattoo. Some people on this website even declare that they wear a chastity device on their laptop stickers: https://stickertop.art/content/images/2025/11/IMG_9217-2.jpe...

I'm not sure that's a sticker.
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#418I used to put stickers on my work laptop. Then one day I upgraded my laptop, which meant handing over my old one with stickers. Which meant scrubbing it (there's no reason I'll let whoever receives it to scrub it for me) Which was an absolute pain. I don't put stickers on my laptops anymore.
Some choice stickers (McMurdo Station and South Pole Station stickers) have inhabited 3 of my laptops already.
Same (French polar institute and Kerguelen in my case) and I use double-sided tape to place them so I can remove them in the future.

#419Where do people buy laptop stickers these days? My wife got a new computer a few months and couldn't find anything cute and tasteful. Everything was brands and anger. The places she used to use are gone, and Amazon proved useless.
I buy mine at redbubble.com
Only one simple non-computer related sticker to: - hide the logo of the laptop company - recognize my work laptop at airports security checks
Simply because i do not what to exchange my work laptop, with another traveler by mistake.

#420Shameless plug for those who still need more stickers for their laptop: ssh stickr.shop
I was so curious to see how the payment would work...I'm curious is there any way to make payment work without a browser? Is it impossible for any reason or just complex?
Well, it's certainly possible, as the guys over at terminal.shop let you enter payment information via SSH. :)
But on the one hand we don't want to handle credit card information _at all_. And then, stripe does not let you give them credit card data directly – at least in the default workflow.
(And we can offer alternative payment methods offered by stripe (e.g. Apple Pay, SEPA direct debit, …) much more naturally than what would be possible in the terminal.)
