It depends on one's definition of dictatorship. I personally do not believe, for instance, the British Crown is one such instance.

Besides that, multiple ways to read this. "Monarchies" could've been a reference to pre modern monarchies of which many made it through at least 3 successions. Or as a correction to the upper comment, saying that the Kim's are more monarchy than plain dictatorship.

The British Crown had to concede some rights centuries ago, or there would have been civil wars and probably no more crown. Dear Leaders are the ones that don't have to concede anything, yet.

Not only have there been multiple civil wars, there has also been “no more crown” after the beheading of King Charles I (1649) until the restoration in 1660.

> or there would have been civil wars

Would have been? There were.

LibSQL doesn't look anywhere close to active enough to consider it for production IMO.

Just compare the most recent commits from LibSQL: https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/commits/main/

To those of SQLite: https://sqlite.org/src/timeline

One of these looks like a healthy and actively maintained project. The other isn't quite dead, but it's limping along.

Your activity comparison isn't wrong, but it's because they are focused on doing a complete rewrite instead of focusing on the libSQL fork.

So yes, it's abandoned?

> The US corporations are forced by law to always prioritize whoever represents the current US government

Where do you get your information from? This is just plainly false. Heck, it runs afoul of the Constitution, so even if the government were to try something, it'd be smacked down real fast.

One would hope, but evidently not!

I don't know if you're joking, but if not you need to start paying attention to what has been happening in US courts recently.

Mind bringing up any concrete examples?

I think it’s more accurate to say that US corporations are subject to US law. Indeed there are no laws that say anything about corporations prioritizing the party in power, but they often do as matter course.

No, that is not valid. The "<" and ">" characters in string values must always be escaped with &lt; and &gt;. The correct form would be:

    <a href="/" title="&lt;a /&gt; /&gt;"></a>

Why, for $3800, you can now get a brand new Apple computer with a million times the RAM!

> They required a dedicated zip drive (took up same sized slot/bay as a floppy disk drive), but (if I recall right) that drive was backward compatible standard 3&1⁄2-inch 1.44MB floppy disks.

Zip was a completely unique physical format, and had no backwards compatibility with standard 3½" disks.

SuperDisk, on the other hand (in both the LS-120 and LS-240 variants) was backwards compatible with standard floppy disks in the same drive.

With the GNU Units program, I have this defined in my ~/.units: "floppyMB 1000 KiB"

Is it useful? Perhaps not, but you can use it to translate "1.2 floppyMB", "1.44 floppyMB" into other units.

I'd wager that most wikis use the MediaWiki software, which is what Wikipedia runs on.

One particular thing that comes to mind though, is that Fossil (https://fossil-scm.org/) has a private local-only sandbox: https://fossil-scm.org/home/wikiedit?name=Sandbox. It saves to your browser's persistent storage, but never on the server.

Given you have two of the same names on both sides of the list, it looks like your question is self-contradictory. Could you clarify?

It was developed primarily to replace SQLite's CVS repository, after all. They used CVSTrac as the forge and Fossil was designed to replace that component too.
