One of mine is on quite a few laptops and at least one server: https://shop.kyefox.com/products/were-here-were-queer-connec... I was hoping, though not expecting, to spot it in here.

Okay, that one's quite good. I'm quite tempted, though I assume shipping stickers to Europe is a pain/expensive.

My laptop has stickers, one of which is a photo of my previous laptop and its stickers. One of those is a photo of the laptop before that…

Keep it going! I did that to my Facebook pfp (they also have stickers) - after a few years it became this abstract, glitchy work of art. I don’t use fb anymore but still remember that fondly

I just want a funny sticker to cover the logo of my laptop's producer.

Are they really that funny though? While I appreciate that it is subjective, they are often only vaguely funny. More often or not a lot of the supposed humour is a thin veneer over some sort of political or quasi-political messaging. You can even see in the screenshots that most of it is either political, product placement or their tech stack.

Political messaging is good and important especially nowadays

As a JS developer, I once had a sticker in the npm font, but it said "left-pad". I liked that one.

Just a pretty one is fine too though. I had a cool one at some point that was the logo of a small local meetup with friendly organisers, and the logo was essentially a drawing of a local landmark. It fit perfectly over the OEM logo. I miss that one.

I had a load of stickers on my old machine. I kept the laptop but felt the need to remove the stickers. I think part of me had moved on from what they represented - mostly past interests. Another part of me never liked how they overlapped, I tried but it didn't really work for me. It raises the question: are stickers randomly placed or is there some deliberate pattern to them that I just can't see? Do you just slap t…

That's gunna depend on the person, of course. Some people slap em on without any worry, some people make sure they're just not massively overlapping, and some people space them out nicely. Here's one that walks the line between order and chaos! https://devlids.com/media/pages/lids/shiro/bee7bec396-175127...

Very thankful for these laptops stickers, it makes it extremely easy to identify freaks and losers in tech.

Yeah sure, your laptop is "killing fascists", by you seething on Mastodon or blue sky and writing corporate SaaS slopware.

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…

You absolute monster. I'd managed to forget that that had existed.

This one is really cool. https://stickertop.art/content/images/2025/11/20250221_00333... I love the sticker bomb aesthetic on the others, but there needs to be more like this. Anyone got any other examples?

Is this one actually a sticker at all, or some sort of etching?

I had the same thought. Zooming in, it sort of looks like ink to me, so I lean toward sticker or at least drawing, but not entirely sure.

An etching would be seriously cool but I'd be super worried about breaking something

My 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

I would actually consider sticking the opposite "Nuclear power? Yes, please!" (Same for solar, wind, geothermal of course). Is there a sticker for pro-nuclear power movement? P.S. There's a nice recent video to have a glimpse into nuclear power plant safety in action: https://youtu.be/v0afQ6w3Bjw

Yes it exist: https://nuclearpoweryesplease.org/
