>Your devices are tools, not fashion accessories
Terrible philosophy, or at least generalizing without any justification. Devices can be anything. Utilitarian tools, fashion statements, artistic expressions or whatever you want really.
Some authors have remarked that we're really homo faber, tool making men, and so if you want some individuality in the tools you work with go for it, in many ways they define who you are. No need to make your computer a dreary black box that you can't have any fun or play with.
- sshine 4y agoYes, it is akin to “Your food is fuel” which can also be taken to the extreme point of not aiming to enjoy food. Minimising recreational time on the computer resonates with a lot of geeks. Reminding yourself to go outside with a black background to indicate that the computer is off when work is closed sounds like a good approach. I still prefer a background image that makes me happy.
