Does anyone else proudly display the what they self host on their laptop? The hardest part is removing old stickers when you port from one project to another (Trilium and Obsidian for example). People ask me all the time what's this or that sticker. I'm impressed when they can pick one out on their own.
FOSS source is here.
These are really consistent, do you print them yourself?
I got them from Etsy. They all came with borders so I had to 3D print a jig to get the cuts right with a razor knife. They're still a little wobbly but they're good enough.
Ugh.. just say you made them if is your shop.. this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice..
Ya, mods! This is clearly thinly veiled self-promotion. Can we atleast remove the store links? I bet they posted them using a dummy account too
Why though? Just curious
It reeks of "manufactured organic content" if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I'm not saying this was OP's intention, it just hits the same points.
I see.
So you don't have an issue with it being etsy but the intention/direction of the post?
You're not wrong that modern advertising works like that. In my case I haven't shown these anywhere and just got my first batch in yesterday and was so happy with them I wanted people who would actually appreciate the comment to see. No links. No cart. Just "I'm proud of this". If someone went and bought some hex stickers from RedBubble after seeing this, good. If they found mine, good on them for tracking them down. On the FOSS chain of thought, I think, at least for the FOSS stickers, these should be on GitHub or a self hosted web server as whatever creative commons means don't sell my files/prints. That would take a day to spin up and might let people print them themselves if they're so inclined.
Why did you lie then? A user asked if you made them. You could have just said „yes, I made them, and if someone wants them, I also sell them“
edit: FYI, this shop is OP's shop
Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn't name (or knew I'd got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn't Commodore 64).
This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who's just learning to walk.
