Being in a work environment where quite a lot of people have stickers on their laptop lids I am pretty confident you'd have to actively point at it and be like "See? That's the joke." for someone to even notice it because people just don't pay that much attention to it. It's too subtile, but I get that's the point.
I visualize them in <a href="https://misbrands.vercel.app/" rel="nofollow">https://misbrands.vercel.app/</a><p>Code: <a href="https://github.com/yiksanchan/misbrands" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/yiksanchan/misbrands</a><p>Check it out!
I found the vim/vscode one especially obnoxious. OTOH, it took me a while to work out what was 'wrong' with the Debian/Ubuntu one. Maybe there's some unconscious biases at play.
Not on the homepage logo, but i really loved the rusty gopher, or whatever this thing from hell should be called: <a href="https://github.com/mkrl/misbrands/blob/master/ferris.svg" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mkrl/misbrands/blob/master/ferris.svg</a>
I felt bad that PHP and Django were unfairly left out in the RoR misbrand (well, Wordpress is written in PHP but that looked a bit remote), so I decided to fix that: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/quN1aEa" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/quN1aEa</a>. Now THAT should make someone's blood boil.<p>(sorry for the aliasing, the font was taken from a screenshot)

Never understood why people put stickers on their laptops, to me it seems like a cargo cult. Oh, you’re using this trendy library? Are you a brogrammer or a programmer? Why is libraries and technologies trendy anyway, so much time has been wasted building something using the wrong tool for the job. It also ruins the design of the laptop, just like a phone case does. Maybe I’m just old.
Just saw these on Twitter the other day and they are <i>heinous</i>. I don't think I've ever been so annoyed by a sticker before.<p>Great job! :D
I used to want to personalize my laptops. Due to same vague notion it'd reduce confusion in the office. (Which proved to not be a problem.)<p>Not big on product stickers. Because "No Logo".<p>I haven't liked any of the cases I've tried. Among other problems, accumulation of grit and scuz.<p>I once tried that spray rubber stuff (on an old sacrificial laptop). PlastiDip? Didn't work well. I'm dumb about this stuff. Someone with more experience could probably make it "nice". I plugged stuff into the ports I cared about. Then tried to tidy all the edges with an exacto knife. Looked terrible.<p>You know those fancy vinyl car wraps? I keep expecting someone to do that for laptops.
I get a couple of these and the logos involved in most of the others are familiar but I can't remember enough to figure them out.<p>Is there an explanation anywhere, or is someone willing to provide one?
I don't know if it's just me by I would love to have these as t-shirts. I would buy them all in a heartbeat. Great for conversation starter or as a prank to my fellow CS friends lol
