Btw, what is it always with the stickers?
When youre using your laptop on the go, it has to be communicated without words that you use arch btw
Why use lot words when logo do trick?
Y 1+ when 1
You're in a meeting with 16 people with identical corporate laptops. Easy way to see whose is whose if they're not open.
Pfft, that's what the asset tags are for. Clearly my laptop is the one with the number 2760754 on a... sticker... son of a bitch!
I've never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren't branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.
I sticker my laptops.
I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it's easier to see in someone's hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.
I have. It's not all what it's cracked up to be.
Yeah, god forbid anyone have a little fun in a corporate environment. Gotta stay in uniform.
I put a rainbow peel off sticker next to my camera just so I had something nice to look at during the endless Zoom meetings. No one but I could see it. Still got a bollocksing because some boomer passed too close behind my work station once in four years.
Did you work with engineers?
Extensively. Nobody has stickers on their laptops. Maybe that's some "fresh out of college" shit.
Maybe. Maybe it's a "We can't afford to alienate expensive engineers over stickers" thing, or a "We care more about the quality of work than sticks on laptops" thing.
Must be a fun place you work at. Do you wear a suit to work and work in cubicles?
I don't talk about the specific details of my employment on the internet with strangers. Especially with those who are fishing for a fight in which I have little interest.
Okay, have fun a work tomorrow! Or don't, as that seems to be your preference. :-)
"You must hate your job because you think putting stickers on laptops is tacky!"
Touch grass.
Whoa, that's not very professional or acceptable :-)
It is advertising for money-less projects.
Never thought of that.
I have pro foss and pro union stickers on one of mine.
The one and only question I have: are they easy to peel off? And there are probably some that lose their look and shape over time. Is there a popular place to buy them?
I recently happily purchased some metal Debian stickers for my work laptops. If you know, then you know. And if you want to know, I'm more than happy to explain.
The Arch metal sticker for my home gaming rig? That was for me.
Does any profit from the Debian stickers actually go towards the Debian project, or is it just someone making money off of someone else's project?
It was a third party vendor, so I'm guessing the profit didn't go to the distros. But advertising is advertising.

That don't exist anymore
I guess it's feelings of ownership/pride/community.
What is always with the thigh highs?
Programming socks?
This guy programs.
Programming is easier in comfort
I have to get up early in the morning and go to a job and pay rent and bills now and it sucks...just let me keep the stickers please.
Quick and easy personalization of an otherwise generic product.
