I'm playing Oblivion, modded with PushTheWinButton's Through the Valleys Vanilla Plus Modding Guide. It runs great on the Steam Deck with 4-5 hours of battery life. I'm using a custom control profile that takes advantage of the touchpads and quick menus. Also works great docked on the TV using a similar control scheme on a Steam Controller.

I would expect to see this kind of article in 2019 prior to the launch of WoW Classic, not now in October 2023. Classic has had the same mindset that's pervasive in retail from the very beginning. Everyone rushed straight to 60 and promptly began raidlogging to preserve their precious world buffs. Parsing and speed running in raids was all anyone cared about.

This is absurd... they made a trailer for their corporate merger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYU4q594LJ0

Israeli politics are dominated by right-wing hardliners who need constant conflict with the Palestinians for their own political survival. Netanyahu himself has constructed his entire political identity around being the only person who can be trusted with Israel's security. As long as this is the case, what the Israeli population wants or doesn't want is immaterial

You aren't crazy. This must have been what it was like being a sane, thinking person right after 9/11 and during the run up to the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions and seeing everyone around you descend into psychotic, genocidal bloodlust. That's par for the course for conservatives but it is genuinely horrifying to see it coming from liberals and people on the left.

Agreed. I've been using Fedora Silverblue for about a year. I love the immutable OS paradigm but IBM/Red Hat's recent actions have left me feeling uneasy and I want to find an alternative.
