What a slippery slope. I imagine a future when the entire URL itself has disappeared and we live in some sort of Google-controlled walled garden environment, like what they're trying to do with AMP[0]. Some sites only work with WWW prefixed as the APEX DNS record is misconfigured and points to nothing. I've even seen some sites point to `0.0.0.0' but had a CNAME record for WWW and I could then view the site.

- aaomidi 7y agoThis is a stupid argument. Subdomains are part of the standard of the web. They shouldn't be hidden.
- horsawlarway 7y agobroken according to who, exactly? It's entirely reasonable to choose to host http/https traffic on a www subdomain and host entirely different services at the non-www domain. The internet is not just http traffic. Full fucking stop. There are plenty of systems and industries where the actual web front-end is an after-thought.
