Consumerist crap and brand names, no.
I wonder if that guy has a moots bike, they are 10000 dollars.

lol they arent all $10,000.. They had a demo at my local store and handed out stickers. I dont see a problem with supporting brands i like. Boulevard is local to my state, CherokeeForum is a forum, Remz is an extremely small company thats skater owned, Kickwear is also a local company, KRINK, is another small company, Velo+ is another local one. You got me with Vans apple, and Jimmy Johns.

OP posted the same thread here and in /g/. I thought to myself, "alright, fuck it."
Also, I had some stickers upside down and some rightside up. I don't put stickers on my laptop just so dipshits can see them when the lid is open. I put them on for me too, for when the lid is closed… because I'm somebody damnit!

I hate stickers usually, but indeed the back of my laptop seems to be a preserve for the last of the stickers.
They are meant to make me look 1337.

Yes.
I doubt I will do so when the time comes to replace it. Maybe I will re-order my Linux sticker and slap it over the branding, but only that.

Stickers on any consumer device or good in general are a bit tacky ((`・ω・´)b) in my opinion. The first thing I do with anything new/old I receive is remove any visible stickers unless it absolutely must stay on for whatever reason.
I've considered spray-painting stencils or printing stuff out on adhesive vinyl, but can never find anything I'd like to do it with.

Lid looks good, goes for "fuarrrkING EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE" look and you actually have enough on there that it doesn't seem try-hard. The inside I dunno though, why all that stuff on the palmrest? And yeah why all the FOSS stuff but Skype?

Too few stickers for that much space of laptop. Also why an Apple sticker? Looks really out of place.

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting rid of the palm rest ones. And Skype was just for talking to an old friend haha. I wanted to wallpaper the lid, and make sure I have enough stickers as well.
I like the look of yours, it's simplistic and nice.

Thanks man. And yeah I get that skype thing, you can work on getting as much nonfree stuff out of your life as possible but you still need to keep in touch with friends. No point in making an ideological stand if it means totally cutting off contact with people you really like.

That laptop either belongs to someone fuarrrking with people or to some moron.
There's a sticker on it that mocks consumer culture (top left) and is then covered in consumerist crap.

i don't feel like spending money on stickers or sticking on lame stickers so i only have one so far. that laptop is very old and ugly so stickers will probably help. i sometimes cringe a little bit when people slap ugly stickers on otherwise beautiful machines.

What are your views on systemd?
Considering going Gentoo (OpenRC + linux-libre /w grsec) instead of Parabola GNU/Linux (libre'd version of Arch) exclusively due to this incredibly bothersome issue. I'm perceiving it (systemd) as a potential single-point of failure (due to it's size and large entities considerable interests in deliberately sabotaging and/or 0-day logging it's bugs).
Thoughts?

I got two stickers free this week with an Art print I ordered arrived.
This laptop is beat to soykaf but I said fuarrrk it and used the stickers on it. I messed up a bit and let air bubbles form underneath but was able to get most of them out with a credit card.
I think they look decent.

I have a minimalist personality but stickers on laptops look interesting to me. It shows that the laptop really means something to someone.
I can't think of a picture or design or something that is meaningful to me. I really like >>4176 .

Indeed. We can order them individually or someone could order them online and we somehow give our postal adress and maybe money to that person.
Alternatively,
1. Print on.thick.paper (ink jet on glossy paper or color laser or something )
2. Glue on/stick on with strong two-sided tape
3. ???
4. Profit or not depending on skill and standarts for sticker quality

That way it is going to become soykaf after some time.
I've had something like pic related on the palm rest for 5 years and it's almost as good as new.
Materials:
- Two-sided tape
- Wide transparent tape
- Paper
1) Create a sheet with logos, preferably with different sizes of the same logo, leave enough space between them.
2) Print on paper the logos, paper isn't really important, color laser will probably tolerate better humidity but otherwise inkjet is good too.
3) Look at which size looks better (also see 4) and roughly cut it out leaving some border
4) Cover the logo with transparent tape, it's better if there are no overlaps to prevent dirty lines in the future, also the tape should exceed a bit the logo's borders.
5) Place double sided tape on the underside, the tape should exceed a bit the logo's borders, it's ok if it overlaps as long you're able to remove the adhesive's protection later, you could also ignore this step by using label paper but I haven't tested it.
6) Cut out nicely the logo, remove the adhesive's protection and apply to laptop
The result can be pretty good and durable if the tape is good.

you can also use something not sharp to scratch the more resilient ones off and alcohol or some other solvent to get the remaining glue off.

You should heat it up first with some -warm- steam or something like that, it works well on stamps and should help prevent pic related
