I got rid of all mine after getting disillusioned with every one of the causes they represented.
It's moistly about being able to recognize your laptop from others when the company has standardized on as sdinglke model. I have an Epson ColorWorkjs C4000e label printer and design and print my own, but some my 13 year old daughter designed for me and are extra special.

Well, for a start, you don't know that these are MAIN WORK DEVICEs. Some of them may be personal devices seen at cons and so on. That said, I'm not _that_ worried about people noticing that the scary gay has a rainbow sticker on his laptop. If someone at work has an issue with me being gay, well, they'll probably have that issue with me regardless of what is on my laptop, and that is very much their problem. You can'…
>Well, for a start, you don't know It's a reasonable assumption and surely true for a lot of cases, the stickers have a history of signaling tech stacks and other actually professional things and people are more attached to these customized devices which strengthens my that point. Don't be arrogant. >You can't spend your whole life pandering Don't be arrogant again. Obviously with that kind of language you have more…
I mean, you’re the one getting pissy over laptop stickers.
Fundamentally, life is too short to worry about bigots being offended by rainbow stickers.

Then your claim won't be believed. Simple as that.

Some choice stickers (McMurdo Station and South Pole Station stickers) have inhabited 3 of my laptops already.
A real McMurdo sticker does seem incredibly cool!

So, you just like pissing people off?
I certainly do like being able to quickly categorize people into groups of those who can find humor in such stickers, and those who will get angry over them. Seems pretty useful in determining whether or not I would want to continue engaging with them :)

That's cute. You should share them.

It has nothing to do with that. A good portion of these stickers are to do with things that are political or quasi political. What tends to happen is that a lot if times people have been burned in someway for supporting an idea or a cause. This is often because people have been fooled by charlatan, or it was later revealed that things were more complicated or different than they were led to believe. Cringe and why pe…

This would do rounds on TruthSocial or X, The Everything App. Might I suggest moving this conversation over there?
You still haven’t explained what you think I have on my hard drives.
