Seriously. Farming introduces monocultures and reduces populations for large swaths of insects, such as locusts. Stop farming. Problem solved. (Or you could just let insects eat the crops, but the effect is the same.)
Oh, btw, you'll have to run a lot more cattle to feed everyone...
"At 18, Patricia is a feminist..."

Yep, I see the problem. Young and stupid and full of Social Justice, having never been vaccinated against it by Real Life.
Yep. And there's what most don't understand about Nazi/National Socialism/Fascism: it's on the "right" only by virtue of being to the right of Stalin. Can't find it now but someone did a nice side-by-side comparison of party planks, and about all that differed, crudely expressed, was which way the government's guns are pointed.
And if they're really so good, why can't they start their own projects? Fork whatever and add their own code to it. What? need someone to fix the mess? Oh dear.
Yep. In my business I frequently have to deal with clients who know almost nothing, have little or no actual experience, but they've read How It Should Be Done and by damn that's what they want, which will end in disaster. And there is no teaching them better by kindly means, because they read it in a book, so it must be so. Over the decades I developed a strategy of simply talking over the top of them until they give up and listen -- and then they actually learn something, go away happy, and do not become or experience problems.
And I think the fact that their tender feels are ignored and trampled as unimportant to the topic at hand is actually part of why it works.
As I fuzzily recall, it had to do with which drive 'reported in' and powered up first, so the system knew which to boot from and didn't overload the power circuit. On very old IDE systems, you can sometimes even hear one drive spin up, then the other.
I used the Group Policy Editor method. Can confirm -- it works. At least on the original build. (Better-behaved than the latest incarnation.) At least so far. We'll see if it remains in effect long-term.
And here in Montana, after a winter with all-time record snowfall and a spring that didn't arrive til June, then an abnormally cool and rainy summer, we've just had a week of premature fall weather -- solid week of rain with temps down in the 48F range. (Haven't checked, but wouldn't be surprised if the high country got a bit of snow.) So if you've got some spare summer, send it on up, we got shorted. And we're probably gonna get clobbered but good come winter.
Well, that's where I went... need a newer OS than my trusty XP? Win10 is Not It; the damn thing gives me hives. While I've had no luck with WINE, otherwise PCLinuxOS has become the "new stuff" setup. The price is right and it hasn't tried to subvert ownership of my PC.
I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the licensing?? Further, the runtimes exist for the use of 3rd party software; Microsoft can't realistically control what platform 3rd party software runs on. If it were a problem, it would be equally a problem with WINE, and for that matter, Windows in a VM.
ReactOS will never be a threat to Microsoft because it's simply too far behind in terms of what it supports, and they've already had their adventure-in-court to prove that their code is entirely original and independent of Windows.
Right now React's goal is compatibility with Server2003 (which is basically an updated XP). Microsoft hasn't even bothered chasing down the plethora of XP variants now circulating (nor the more-recent Win7 variants), and under the hood these are both the real thing and complete, while React still has a lot of holes (tho it's rapidly improving, by leaps and bounds in the last couple versions. It's now a reasonable substitute for XP on middle-aged or older hardware, if you're doing the usual consumerish stuff and not specialty work.)
And I expect this process improves the bioavailability of phytoestrogens, which directly impact testosterone levels (and inhibit thyroid function, leading to a wide array of long-term medical problems).
Complicated, yeah, and the chain of ownership is thereby wobbly. I'm not sure how the situation as you cite falls under law or precedent (I vaguely recall that ancient Greek shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean have been claimed by modern Greece, which is functionally the same situation -- don't recall how that fell out). But I'm sure anyone who disagrees with the arrangement they've agreed to could take it up in court.

Fortunately it comes with a convenient list of "People you do not want anywhere near your project".
Short translation: We don't care if the output sucks, so long as we get to be in charge.

Wait, isn't that exploiting the working class??

.... and pull us all back into the crab bucket.
OT: You wouldn't happen to be the Richard "Dick" Head who I used to know from LOSCON?
Didn't there used to be a plugin called something like Link Decombobulator, that decoded, sanity/safety-checked, and previewed these messy links?
If there's not, there should be; problem solved.

Note how much warmer the Earth has been in the past.
Now, repeat after me: Another horseshit article because someone is chasing a fresh funding grant.
In which case you use the magic words, "walk away" and they'll fall all over themselves trying to get you that modified loan.

Yeah, like the world needs more soyboys.

FTFY.

Because legally, it still belongs to Russia, or to that Russia's heirs. Others are entitled to a cut for doing the grunt work.
