I remember Next only from using their classes in Mac/iOS Development. For example NSString, where NS stands for NextStep.
Oh just imagine if politicians talked like that.. (off topic I know)
On Mac one can create throwaway iCloud email addresses for such cases, but yeah..

I would assume most Airbnbs have hidden cameras, but that's just a feeling
Re:Iceland votes on whether to restart talks on joining EU on Saturday August 29, 2026 @08:04AM (#49489194)
The arguments that some put forward against the eu are as educated as the people declaring fiat money a scam back in the Bitcoin hype phase.

While there are reasons not to join, most commenters against it have no clue what they are talking about.

Re:9th Circuit sides with states in Kalshi gambling fight on Saturday August 29, 2026 @04:38AM (#49488091)
I see a lot of questions here that can be googled or asked with AI chat. Good question, but I also think, why didn’t that person just find out themselves? It’s so easy..
I also think there must be more

Would be nice to get high karma commenter votes count only ..

Re:User Interfaces of the Demo Scene on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @03:53AM (#49094561)
This reminds me why I studied CS. I planned to do something else but one day in school we got the assignment to write a computer program and I wrote an ascii scroller game instead and I realized how fun that is and changed my plans to become a programmer.

Re:The lost joy of music piracy on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:08AM (#48932081)
Now music pirates itself.

(Thinking of AI generated music which doesn't get more than a few % of total listening time, but give it some time..)

Re:Tiny Emulators on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @03:37AM (#48903380)
Good strategy, I tried that, too, but unfortunately on my laptop I need to press Fn+F1 to get F1 and that I did not hit randomly :D
