I do this, more or less, for my small law firm. Employee and client information are stored in Recfiles and accessed with GNU Recutils. Adding or changing is a pull request, and all…

To please Trump, Instacart fired my pregnant wife Lisa in a cowardly and cruel way because she dared to run for office as a Democrat. Instacart's leadership will try to obfuscate w…

a16z and certain Sequoia partners specifically supported this during the 2024 election. If haphazard, cruel dismantling of state capacity bothers you, avoid raising money from vent…
