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.

You might want to reconsider patronizing Sticker Mule, especially if you're family.

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

I think that was done by somebody who knows the corporate culture, and further knows what can be gotten away with.

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?

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.

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.

The best hoodie I ever bought was from Unix Stickers. Since SM never brought them back, I managed to find the manufacturer (Mantis World, for reference).

Thanks for the reference, they indeed look to have the same finish. Do they still ship the unix stickers designs?

No, they just sell unbranded garments. You'd have to take it to a print shop to get a design on it.

Yeah I produce stickers at Stickermule all the time, they’re the GOAT

I got a set recently but something weird happened in the mail and they took 18 months to arrive XD. It had been so long that I forgot I had even made the order.

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

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

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.

Do you own scissors?

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.

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.

Does the money go back to the distros?

Apparently it goes toward sending customers "Liberal Moron" shirts instead of their requested designs, and also illegally underpaying employees. So... I doubt it.

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.

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.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
