  I got them from Etsy

  Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

    Ya, mods! This is clearly thinly veiled self-promotion.

    Why though? Just curious

      It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

      • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
      • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
      • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product

      It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

        I see.
        So you don’t have an issue with it being etsy but the intention/direction of the post?

        You’re not wrong that modern advertising works like that. In my case I haven’t shown these anywhere and just got my first batch in yesterday and was so happy with them I wanted people who would actually appreciate the comment to see. No links. No cart. Just “I’m proud of this”. If someone went and bought some hex stickers from RedBubble after seeing this, good. If they found mine, good on them for tracking them down. On the FOSS chain of thought, I think, at least for the FOSS stickers, these should be on GitHub or a self hosted web server as whatever creative commons means don’t sell my files/prints. That would take a day to spin up and might let people print them themselves if they’re so inclined.

  [Found them] (www.etsy.com/shop/SoHexy?ref=lp_mys_mfts)! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn’t name (or knew I’d got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn’t the Commodore 64).

  They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

  This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who’s just learning to walk.
