Daniel Radcliffe disse que os comentários transfóbicos de J.K. Rowling o deixaram profundamente triste. "Penso na pessoa que conheci, nos livros dela — tudo era profundamente empático." Confirmou que não tem mais contato com ela e reafirmou apoio à comunidade LGBTQ+: "Mulheres trans são mulheres. Qualquer afirmação contrária apaga a identidade e dignidade das pessoas trans." Disse que Harry Potter não existiria sem ela, mas isso não o obriga a concordar com suas convicções.

in reply to elseweather • • •@elseweather yeah that sort of thing. the things that actually seem to last all seem to have a lot of popularity and finalized interfaces (at least in their original incarnations). eg, the C ABI, retro console rom hacking, doom, Win32, and so on.
if you build something on just that, the odds of your creation surviving and maybe being of benefit to someone some distant day are a lot higher than if you build it entirely out of whatever is the current passing fad

They just moved me off of one tech migration project and reassigned me to a different tech migration project.

"I don’t think necessity is the mother of invention—invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble." -- Agatha Christie

It is leaving the dishes in the sink, figuring your flatmate will wash them, but planetary scale. With death instead of dishes.
