The chambre des dΓ©putΓ©s needs to form a government (prime minister + ministers), and that will require some serious negotiations. Without that, there won't be much of an executive power... The French president has more limited powers than the US one.

Manu Larcenet adapted Cormac Mc Carthy's "The Road" in a comic book and it is incredible, 150 pages of finely detailed, nightmare-inducing art. I hope it gets translated in English

Do tell, please. (reminds me of Michael Sandel's book "Justice", which was an enlightening read for me... the first chapter is about people (re)selling water bottles for $$$ after a hurricane IIRC)

Fun story: when I was in line to get my realID, the guy at the counter was holding up the line because he didn't have any proof of address in his name "my mortgage and all my bills are in my company's name, but here's a paper that says I own X% of that company!" The DMV clerk was non-plussed 😬

Hi, I'm a software engineer. My greatest hits include * Who's the idiot that wrote this code? (Me. It was me.) * I can't connect, DNS is fine (DNS was not fine) * Eh, that service will never see much traffic, no point in optimizing (that service is now a choke point)

Does Onion OS have a search feature to quickly find ROMs? I tried Garlic OS (a clone) on my RG35XX, and it was tough finding games... I ended up switching back to the Anbernic OS.
