Well worth a read, this!

“Decentralised SMTP Is For The Greater Good”

Any #Fedora or #Ansible (or really any #FOSS) contributors want to buy an used ThinkPad X390 (Core i5-8265U , 16GB of RAM, 128GB SSD)?

I'll sell it cheap to someone who intends to use it to contribute to open source! 🙂

Important poll, please boost (unless it's already completed).

In Go, the standard library "flag" module has single-dash flags.
Like so:
-flag=value -otherflag othervalue -bool -otherbool=false

Do you prefer that to GNU-style --flag=value and shorthands -f value?
Or do you prefer GNU-style?
If you had the FREE CHOICE (both implementations are simple and easy to understand, and had no real advantages or disadvantages besides this ux), which would you choose?
