The first E in Mercedes sounds slightly different from the other two in German, mostly because the rhotic sound [r] modifies the tongue placement for the preceding E, forcing you to say it as either an open-mid front unrounded vowel [ɛ], or a mid near-front unrounded [ɛ̽]. The [r] prevents the vowel from being a Close-mid front unrounded vowel [e] like the 2nd and 3rd occurrences of E.

Or more simply, the first e sounds more like "bed" while the second and third sound more like "may", assuming you're reading this with a standard American dialect.

Not if you pronounce it the way Germans do

We're not saying we should ban it, we're saying we should discredit these publications because they are willingly giving a platform to extremist rhetoric. Nobody is saying this should be illegal, we're saying "Stop reading the New York Times, they've gone full accelerationist"

According to Ryujinx developer and discord moderator Riperiperi, "[On September 30] gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he's in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it's safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure"

Seems like this was a deal done behind closed doors between the project owner and Nintendo. It's completely reasonable to expect someone else to pick up the project under a different name, using source code available from earlier forks.

Unfortunately, this will further splinter the Switch emulation development community, and cause any work that was not yet release-ready (such as features detailed by Riperiperi later in the same announcement as the one quoted above) to likely never see the light of day.

Balderdash, the specificity employed in this context was superfluous in comparison to the minimum required for conveying his emotional response to the situation.

This looks more like modern art than a peripheral

Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

Who needs credit cards when I'm rich enough to build an above-ground bulletproof bunker powered by supercooled 5-tesla magnets

While accurate, we'll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.

Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such
