From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Many may already know this offer from Sticker Mule, but you can get basic Unix swag really cheaply to stick on a laptop or water bottle.

I bought myself a couple and can confirm it's legit and good quality.

Jeez sending that Liberal moron shirt to a person ordering a shirt raising awareness to indigenous murders is really fucked up

[–] li10@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Huh, wish I’d known that before I ordered.

Will avoid in future, as that’s genuinely quite fucked up…

For a buck, why not... I like the doofy looking bear. What is that the mascot for?

[–] Funkymatt@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got it. Thanks! I wasn't even close.

I believe you mean the go gopher!

[–] Andy@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since you ask (why not?), check the current top comment. I didn't know about it until today.

FFS, can't even buy stickers anymore with out researching if the company is a horror show.

One more place I'm not shopping at any more I guess.

Can't argue with a dollar. This will be my second time buying from them. Great quality.

[–] Andy@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

It is possible to argue with a dollar.

Oh do I miss the days when Unixstickers was an independent company. Way better merch and offers. But oh well, can't argue with a Dollar...

I remember when unixstickers was a store not a part of stickermule... at that time they also had linux tishirts and whatnot, all very good.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

They had many more stickers as well as an ongoing request board where you could nominate FOSS projects to be added. And you could buy individual stickers... It really tanked when SM took over.

[–] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I bought this set of 206 stickers from Amazon a few weeks ago for $10 (9.99, but that's really 10).

The stickers are very hard to peel off till you get the hang of it, but can vouch.

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just wish they all didn't have white outlines, makes them look a little cheap/store bought, instead of "collected" which is how I usually like to get my stickers. Oh well, for 1USD it ain't bad.

Yes nice Fiskars. But they're not gonna make them look as nice as they would if they were designed without borders.

Probably is the reason why they have borders to start with, cheaper to laser cut with less precision.

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

They keep printing quality of their other products and it's great. The price is propably a gift to community and/or some soft of advertisment.

[–] Smoogy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is anyone else seeing a face on a counter in the thumbnail?

[–] targetx@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I believe that's a kbin specific bug mixing up image thumbnails or something. Works fine for me from Lemmy.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

[–] nitefox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nice one, got it

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Nice. I think that's the one I ordered a while ago

Also if anyone is interested in diy Linux distro stickers...

[–] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

thanks, ordered!

Does the money go back to the distros?

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the price is more to prevent people from spamming orders than to actually make money. StickerMule is propably losing on this stickers to make their site more recognized.

[–] Andy@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would you consider editing the main post with the details from here? At least one person here has explicitly said

wish I’d known that before I ordered

And I'd guess many here would like to know that before deciding whether to support the company.
