    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC 😔

      Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it’s the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

      With mine, I’m working on a few things:

      • Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. I’m ok at it now, but could use the practice.
      • Learning Rust. It’s nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
      • Experimenting with some alternative OSs. I’m extremely conservative with my main machine, but I don’t really care about these laptops.
      • Enjoying simplicity.

          shoo, shoo, i’m not bying usa socks, i’m too close to Poland for that

  • I always wondered where people get their cool stickers from, epspecially the ‘niche ones’ like the Lemmy/Fediverse ones. Like, I found shops for EU/Germany and maybe I’m to stingy, but I don’t want to pay 50€ for 10 Stickers…

      All’s you need is adhesive matte paper and a printer.

      Optional: Cutting machine, Inkscape, GIMP

      • Well, I have none of those (I don’t even own a printer) :D

        But you’re right buying the sheets and printing them in a copyshop is probably cheaper than buying individual stickers.

      1. In Slovakia we have a stationery shop chain called FaxCopy that prints stickers as well. Rather than a limited number of stickers, you get to fill an entire page. For example, SRA3 page, matte exterior-grade (I assume that could be waterproof, they don’t explain that…) costs €5.47. I only tried the cheapest paper option so far. That includes the cutting. However there’s 2 ways, I prefer to kiss-cut over die-cut due to spacing, then just cut it up with scissors. For kiss-cut it’s 5mm and for die cut it’s 3cm.
        Right, that brings me to another point, it is quite manual. You have to create the print template and cut template yourself. I used Inkscape for that.

      2. Stickermule. Right, so they’ve went fully pro-Trump, sending pro-Trump emails to customers, and now I even found they made some 100ft wide “Vote for Trump” sign and Trump’s statue.
        Well, so why am I mentioning them? They’ve got a couple of promotions of 10 stickers for around $1 including shipping. Each can only be used once, but it’s possible to delete and re-create the account (needs a different phone number). Certainly doesn’t make them money.

      Unfortunately, the latter is the company that acquired unixstickers.

    Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.

      The stickers thing has always been an “ick” for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.

      That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.

      Some people wanna customize their machine and don’t care about opsec.

      I would never put stickers on my machine unless it was enough to completely cover it with hex stickers.
