Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I use an early 2010s Thinkpad, with Ubuntu, and I can play Minecraft pretty well on it. It's great. I don't often carry it places, it's a desk laptop, but I don't know of any other affordable laptop that would have such a long useful lifespan. If you know of any, please tell me, but my experiences has made me quite the Lenovo loyalist.

What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Google's shares are divided into two types, Class A and Class C. Class A shares, traded as GOOGL, confer one vote per share as a typical stock would. Class C shares, traded as GOOG, confers no voting privileges. This dual shares system was done to raise more money selling less useful Class C shares (intended for mutual funds and the like) while keeping control of the company in the hands of those held on to Class A shares (i.e. longtime executives).
