Sure but the chances of your Windows and Linux machines shitting the bed at the same time is less than if everything is running Windows. It's exactly the same reason you keep a physical copy (which after all can break/burn down etc.) - more baskets to spread your eggs across.

Gonna be a nice test of proper backups and disaster recovery protocols for some organisations

Makes me think of the court at Versailles all pretending to have anal fistulas after Louis XIV had surgery for one.

Congratulations on failing the Turing test I guess?

I'm not a good enough artist to draw it but Minecraft spiders also clearly have anime eyes and a red bow on their heads.

This particular arms race began a couple of decades ago at least...

Honestly not a bad recreation of the expression in the original with the face of Joseph Manderly.

Did not know the thing about purposefully adding rogue tabs to kconfig files to catch poorly written parsers. That's fucking hilarious and I'd love to have the kind of clout to get away with something like that rather than having to constantly work around other people's mistakes.

So, as far as I can see the ruling was that the guy hadn't sufficiently proved through his actions (e.g. protesting, joining any anti-war movements or in this case even expressing this view to anyone beforehand) that he was an actual conscientious objector and not just a chancer who didn't want to serve.

The fact that he played PUBG was brought up as part of the suggestion that he was just having a go but wasn't the whole case against him. Indeed tbh I can't really see anything suggesting it was a particularly important consideration compared to the lack of positive evidence of conscientious objection but obviously it's the bit that's going to get clicks.
