you can tell most of these CI systems are built for webshit because the first time you ask to do a windows build, or do a GUI test, or for certain steps to reserve special hardware, they suddenly shit the bed and can't do it.
you're stuck going back to some weird mozilla project with a horrid UI, or abusing some russian render farm software, or trying to figure out mesos or something like that, on the event that your build process has to do something stupid like
reserve a node with an AMD GPU to run a battery of render checks
Welcome to Day 7 of the first "Biggest Faggot on Fediverse" Tournament! #FaggotTourney
First, the updates:
-CSB defeated Maija in a stunning upset! What's interesting is not the exact vote totals, but the fact that CSB was in DMs more or less demanding that people vote for Maija! The number of people who voted for CSB instead of Maija because of that was large enough that CSB took the match! What an impressive display of faggotry from the man who was previously the dark horse of the tournament.
-The closest match to date, though, was Ratposter vs. Meso! This was a 20-20 tie in a match where both of the contestants were genuinely trying to win! However, in a stunning display of complete idiocy, Meso forgot to vote for himself! :jahy_gah:
Due to having pissed the tournament organizer off enough to make him add a new set of rules, Ratposter went through to the next round!
-Today's matches are the semifinals: Dread vs. Tomato, and CSB vs. Ratposter.
Both have obvious favorites to win, I'm not going to play them up. Enjoy an easy day!
-The finals will last for 48 hours. They will not in any circumstance be called early.
-CMD fucked up both voting threads a bit but also isn't going to fix them because the tournament is a giant shitpost.
Last, the rules:
There's no built-in poll. I will make a thread for each match: reply with the name of the person you want to vote for in that thread. The thread will be open for approximately 24 hours, and I will of course be lenient on this.
In order for your vote to be counted as eligible, you must have been on an instance federating with bae.st since January 2024.
Account holders may not vote against themselves! Furthermore, account holders who have nominated themselves (Ratposter) may not vote for themselves!
Known alts are discarded when discovered, and the offender's votes are all removed!
A person's vote must obviously have been communicated by themselves. Although it is OK to claim that a certain person is likely to vote in a certain fashion, this does not count as a vote, and it will not ever be counted as a vote.
Do not do something retarded enough to make the tournament organizer add new rules.
Failure to follow these rules will cause me to mute you for the duration of the tournament - invalidating your votes for the remainder of the tournament!
This one is one of the weird ones! Again, both Meso and Ratposter are in it to win it: so, I'm not going to introduce them! They'll be coming around to root for themselves, show them your support/anti-support and may the best/worst man win/lose!
Welcome to Day 5 of the first "Biggest Faggot on Fediverse" Tournament! #FaggotTourney
First, the updates:
-Meso rallied up his mutuals and...they all came to call him a faggot! In a slight upset, meso took the round from one of the people who nominated themselves, Soy Magnus!
-Ratposter had a seriously difficult time - mer crawled out of their dark hole to openly groom some vulnerable poor guy, in an excellent advertisement to stay the absolute hell away from whatever's happening at shrine.moe! However, he maintained a steady lead through the power of 0% heterosexual brotherly friendship (or something).
-Today's matches are Judge Dread vs. PonyPanda and Tomato vs. Trevor Goodchild! The first match is the big item - people are out here saying it's the match that determines the whole tournament! Yes, CMD's lack of depth perception prevented him from seeing this coming, the top two seeds are duking it out right in the quarterfinals!
The other match is a known faggot up against a reasonably respected person whose recent, but massive, mistakes have earned him the hate of a few people. This match is going to be a barometer for how mad people are about Gab refugees coming in to fedi, there's absolutely no denying it.

Remember, have fun! Or have salt. :ayaya: image.png
Notes about Soy Magnus:
He nominated himself! As one of DRC's most notorious trolls, he's gained a reputation for being blocked by a lot of the other half of fedi. Everyone who continues to interact with him...well, they know what he's like, and he's well loved.
Notes about Meso:
He's the outsider in this set of matches, being the only person today who didn't nominate themselves! He's largely been chosen to represent the Eastern European side of fedi... which is already represented by Maija, oh dear. :shrug:
Welcome to Day 2 of the first "Biggest Faggot on Fediverse" Tournament! #FaggotTourney
First, the updates:
-Judge Dread beat CMD with an overwhelming 31-11 win. Lots of people came out to vote CMD because it would be funny, but this was the minority of voters.
-PonyPanda beat StarProphet in a much closer match: 16-9, with the pair being tied for a large portion of the night.
-A bookkeeping error on CMD's part was caught by @mer : this has led to mer and meso being thrown into the bracket, and Jonny Fever and Hachi being thrown out! Is the tournament organizer missing an eye or something? :jahy_gah:

I mean, look at the facts. Juniper is a berry essentially indigenous to the northern hemisphere. Quinine is derived from the bark of a tree that grows in Peru. The odds that, just by chance, those two plants would even be in the same room, let alone that you'd infuse distilled liquor with juniper berries then infuse carbonated water with quinine and mix them with a wedge of lime is... it would take tens of thousands of years, if not centuries. This proves the delicious gin and tonic was brought to pre-contact (pre-Windrush) Britons by meso-American corn demons.
