don't buy usless stickers.
@tunda
I'm not sure how that matches your point, can you explain better?
personalizing ones tools is deep in the DIY tradition
are you also going to tell pretty much all the punks with back patches on denim vests that they should hand weave their back patches instead of getting them as patches from someone with embroidery machines?
@NireBryce @ireneista Hi,
I didn't want to polemicize against the personalization of personal tools. But I did want to argue against plastic stickers that you have to make and can then buy. It is embedded in the capitalist logic of exploitation and commercialization. A kind of unnecessary consumption if you have too much money. That's my point from above. Do you need a sticker that says “I'm not a sticker”? My recommendation is to leave it alone, even if you would like to have it. best regards
@tunda @NireBryce it is embedded in that, sure. that's certainly true.
