Google Chrome developers advised they would wait until Fall or Spring to disclose how they would "kill" URLs, but it appears the endeavor has already begun: users have found that the latest build, Chrome 69, hides the "WWW" and "M" subdomains in the address bar. Bleeping Computer has instructions on how to restore what Google insists is "trivial."

ShitStainNews doesn't fucking need any www. or m. like that other BUCK FETA green site we the geniuses agree to hate.
Google is doing the right thing by us. So say we all.

When I viewed the page without 'www' your post was just offensive. When I viewed it with the 'www' your post was modded as 'Troll'. I'm going to use 'www' more often.

that guy doesn't need money. he's never traveled outside of the US, and defines complete success and happiness by being able to go fishing on his little boat on a lake, and looks at people with full interesting lives as unhappy, forever chasing that happiness. that aside..
Google is indeed doing right by us. Us meaning people in general, and its target market. My wife has a master's in tourism, and speaks 3 languages. she has no idea what www or a subdomain is, nor does she care - it's just useless spam taking up her screen space. when her phone tracks her coming out of a restaurant, maps pops up a little review box and she clicks some stars - she doesn't need the effort to pop up some review site and get back at the place for bad service. heck, she thinks when her battery gets crappy after 3 years it's just the phone getting slowly broken - like an old car failing to perform well.
me, i run carbonOS w/o all the google crap, use heremaps, use firefox and chromium, and turn off mobile data when i'm not using it. nothing at google really preventing me from any of that.
now what you have here, is retards and people like the buzztard. they are smart in a couple of things and think the rest of the world should care about those things. the rest of the world has other shit to do. this site, for me, is perfect. here for intelligent discussion? then you're one of the losers. here to shit on retards and get some fun and kicks in while holding that carbonOS phone in the left and the tp in the right? then you're in the right place. but neither this site, nor google are bad in any way. if you use a sports car to move a piano you'll be unhappy, but maybe you should use things for what they're fore and throw in some errors for idiots to latch on to.

Copy/pasta from somewhere [google.com] 'cause I'm a lazy fuck to tell it myself.

You need to build a fishing empire then milk it for millions to "enjoy your friends"?
Why not just cross the street and enjoy them right now?

The difference is the healthcare plan if he's in the USA or similar country with crap healthcare.
And the ability to easily move himself and family elsewhere to fish if the area gets polluted or messed up too much.

i work 30 hours a week, about 10 from the office across the street. I bet if that fisherman stood on mt olympus, he'd be all like "wow, mount olympus from the myths"
i just thought it wasn't that tall.

Who needs to? There's enough cultural diversity within the US to keep anyone busy for a lifetime. If you disagree then you're not reading the book, you're skimming the Cliff's notes.
I define complete success and happiness as being able to do whatever makes you happy. The bar for me is monetarily quite low, yes. Is there some argument you have for the merits of it being higher? Do you have some means of improving perfection?
Just so you know, the grapes aren't going to be sour no matter how many times you tell yourself they are. They're sweet, juicy, and delicious.

While there may be small segments of the population that are similar to other cultures, it's not quite the same as visiting the country of origin. Then again, I've not been interested in air travel since they instituted the look at your insides or feel you up policy.

I wasn't talking foreign cultures attempting to hold shape over here. I was talking different homegrown US cultures. Spend a year in San Francisco, then a year in New Orleans, then a year in Chicago, then a year in Dallas, then a year in LA, then a year in Austin. Every last one of them is very different from all of the others and they're only a few of our major cities whose cultures are all different from the surrounding parts of the state they're located in.

I've been to ~40 states and lived in many, including All the cities you mention. Yeah, nashvile and chicago are different. but they look completely identical from a ski slope in dubai, or the top of the tokyo tv tower. ever buy clean air or a dried up used tampon from a vending machine? lemme tell you, since you're too dumb to figure it out. a place that has those vending machines is so different from your "vast diversity of stateside" that it makes everything you've seen in your mostly over life as oatmeal with different types of fruit. you are literally a retard with a shitty life, who came up with a different definition of the words happy and accomplished. you should move to ukraine. they all have the same brain disease. not that you would know. much of anything.

Dude, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up with that over the top display of envy but I don't need cheering up. I'm happy most all the time.
