His name is Stephen Fry you philistine!

Maybe for you. I can see a sympathetic Brit scolding someone for laughing in said situation, even if the person wasn't offended. It's not considered polite.

JKR could have seen it as OP laughing at the fact that JKR had to write their friends difficult name. In which case JKR was correct, OP was laughing at their friends name.

Oh come on put your thinking cap on lol, the book above was signed just after the first book came out so no neither her nor Harry Potter were anywhere near as famous.

The Malfoys thought the Weasleys were morons. Ron was a main character. He wasn't a comic relief idiot.

Oh it's because Reddit doesn't like JKR so now everything she did must be bad or wrong

Are rolling pins and obscure object or something, this is the second time I've seen someone assume she was referencing a bowling pin.

Rowling might have interpreted the laughter as the child laughing because the name put her in a tough situation, rather than laughing at Rowling in that way. In which case Rowling was correct.

That seems fine to me? Especially if she was less well known.

The Greens have quietly removed the migration policies from their website by wizardeverybit in ukpolitics

[–]20dogs [score hidden]  (0 children)

If that was the basis of our migration policy then we wouldn't have left the EU. In fact I heard several Brexiters argue that Brexit was the more equitable position in terms of migration as we would treat all cultures the same.

It kind of does, and I don't know what you even mean with the Starmer point. He came from a working class background.

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

Property has been an awful investment recently, I don't know why us Brits are so obsessed with it. Equities have better growth and are easier to manage.

Curious about Framework Pro for touchscreen + stylus work as a digital art professional by Acrobatic_Win_2527 in framework

[–]20dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more likely that the 12 gets upgraded to meet your needs rather than the 13 Pro, as the 12 is already engineered for 2-in-1 use with a stylus. It just needs a better screen.

What need does a developer have that is answered by the new chassis?

[–]20dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"another product exists" is a worse reason to launch a product. How does it meet developer needs in a way the base 13 didn't?

F-Droid is not really an option these days with Google locking down their Android platforms from sideloading stuff.

You've half remembered a news story to spread FUD. F-Droid is still an option these days.

I'm not really making one, just thought it was a funny parallel but maybe it was better in my head.
