Funny you should say that. Google just announced today that they are giving all college students one year of free Gemini advanced. I wonder how much that will actually move the needle among the youth.

Is Turso open-source? is libSQL open-source?

I don't think your use of "surely" was very cordial, but I'll indulge your point, thanks for taking the time to respond. If I were a lawyer, I would label those points circumstancial at best:
(1) I'm not sure to which organisation you were referring, but on its own I don't think a link contitutes endorsement, especially when the context is the open source project and not political in nature. It's worth noting that there are a lot of external links in the readme, none looked at the surface level to be linked because of any reference to BDS therewithin. That said, I don't think we should argue this further, it's already innapropriate to comment on political topics such as Israel and BDS here on HN.
(2) Again, the exact cause for this is not clear. There are possible explanations which suppose good faith, and others, bad faith.
(3) While personally I'd lean towards your interpretation (especially considering the use of quotation marks by the poster), it's still not explicit and could be a communication failure.
edit: removed a "but" from (3)
> I'm not sure to which organisation you were referring [...] It's worth noting that there are a lot of external links [...] none looked at the surface level to be linked
Literally the first link in the README.
website -> Incubator -> "list of projects we’d love to get started!":
> ### Built with Israel
> Many companies and NGOs unwittingly use tools created by Israel
> ### BDS in your bank account
> Build an app that can apply BDS to your bank account.
or
website -> Blog -> "T4P Incubator Alum Boycat Is Teaming Up With BDS"
If you can't figure out what the first website link is in the README that's on you. I'm not gonna promote that hateful organization's website.

Neither you nor the linked comment provide any context for that. Is it not possible that Israel blocked because of a request by the Israeli government, and not because of a political statement?
- The project's Github page links to an organization that promotes anti-Israel initiatives (BDS)
- The project's web page blocks users from Israel
- The project's developer delegitimizes Israel in response on HN
Surely we need more "context"

Sounds similar to Obtainium:
That project goes against the spirit of free software:
> "Israel" is blocked
How does one use it to identify bounding rectangles of images/diagrams in the PDF?
How about: Have 1 + N separate SQLite database-files.
Each user would have their own database-file which contains only information about that user. Then 1 shared database-file which contains info needed for all users.
Users would update their own data, which is a small database file which can be easily uploaded. They would not need to update the shared data.
Not knowing your app I don't know what the shared data would contain, presumably something. Perhaps the shared data-file would be updated on the server based on what individual user-data the users upload.
In this multi-tenant arrangement, you run into synchronization problems.
Developers should expect users to connect to the service using multiple devices (clients).
AFAIK bare SQLite doesn't offer synchronization mechanisms between multiple SQLite instances.
I believe Turso offers some solution of this kind, but not sure if that's open source or not.

You're right. The strict interpretation would be the more people who wear smartwatches, the wider Google's surveillance net.
