New Harper's Bazaar cover story interview - and it isn't paywalled!

I saw on Insta that Céline and Harper's Bazaar posted a link to their latest edition where she is the cover star, and I fully expected the article to be paywalled - but it isn't, fully available, and a great new interview!

Verso's Drafts makes me sad

Spoilers for Verso's Drafts and the ending.

I've seen a few posts on here about people's thoughts on Verso's Drafts, and it's generally considered a fun and happy place. But...

I love it as an area - it is different and colourful and there are some great challenges and fun easter eggs and extra lore. But it's also heartbreaking. It really drives home that he was a kid who had this whole world that he created to be his perfect playground - multiple homages to Esquie (who was his stuffed toy in the real world), his passion for trains, candy, swimming pools, hopscotch, the treehouse... it's bittersweet, knowing what happened to real Verso. Even the Osquio fight is just a game to him - the animation at the end with Verso and Esquie defeating him, and how they talk about what fun it is. A kid and his imaginary friend playing superheroes.

Considering it's such a colourful and vibrant area, I really find it really, really sad.

How pejorative is "frimeur/euse"?

I'm looking for a word to describe someone a bit trashy, vulgar, slightly douchy in an oblivious way - a show-off and also a bit of an asshole. "Frimeur" seems more or less to fit - I have seen in the dictionary that it's pejorative. What are the real-world connotations of this word? How offensive would it be to call someone that?

Any other suggestions? I also thought prétentieux, vulgaire, poseur, vaniteux... but I'm not sure which word captures the essence of what I want the best!

Suggestions welcomed!

I have a Peugeot PHEV, and I'm definitely getting an EV when I next change my car. I'm in the early stages of deciding/researching what's around.

I love my Peugeot, but the MyPeugeot app is so broken it's worse than useless. Won't connect to the car, won't tell me my charge/fuel levels, won't set up a delayed charge, won't initiate remote climate control... always just times out, crashes, throws an error or logs me out. For a PHEV it doesn't really matter, but I imagine that for an EV I'd need to use the app a bit more actively for things like checking charge level, managing the timing of my charge (overnight), capping it at a set level, etc. Probably some other important functions I'm not aware of.

So how important is it to have a car app that actually works for an EV? Would a crappy app be a dealbreaker?
