For each integer m≥1, the set of continuous functions satisfying ∣SN​(f,0)∣≤m for every N is closed in the uniform norm. If it contained a ball of radius r, subtracting two members of that ball would bound every partial-sum functional norm by 4m/r. The Dirichlet kernel harmonic lower bound excludes this, so these sets are nowhere dense. By the Baire category theorem, their complement is a dense Gδ​ set. Every function in that complement has unbounded Fourier partial sums at zero. Translation gives the same conclusion at any prescribed point. This is a direct Uniform boundedness principle argument on the real Banach space of continuous functions on the circle.
