Peaceful transfer of democratic power to someone who has pledged to rule as a #dictator, and already demonstrated that they will not respect such transfer when their time comes strikes me as similar to the idea of #tolerance for intolerant ideas and behaviors.
If it’s not true tolerance to tolerate bigotry, then how can it be a peaceful transfer of power if it transfers directly to an openly pledged dictator?
I don’t know the solution to this, but I’m very interested in what others think.

@avi@chitter.xyz horrifying!
This should probably have a content warning but the problem is I have no idea what the warning would say.

@timhutton thank you so much for doing this unfortunately I thought I was very technically advanced 30 year Internet user who knows how to code basic html but since I’ve come to mastodon I realized I’m a complete ignorant noob who doesn’t understand computers.
Can you explain the following to me which I don’t understand it’s like it’s a whole new language I’ve never learned before?:
“Open a command-prompt in that folder
python parser.py”
Yum, hair tonic!

That didn’t strike me as an ethical or reliable interrogation method!

I’m happy to see I’m not alone in #NoirAlley tonight, hopefully we’ll build our numbers with the current #Twitter #xodus
This one’s a goodie, so strap in, gang!

@dougholton @timhutton awesome, thanks!
Do you know if this is something that can be done in mobile operating systems as well?
Or if not mobile then on macOS? I don’t have a Microsoft desktop machine available.

@dorward thank you so much for spending so much time trying to help me understand this I think if I could find the time to go through everything you’re saying it would be pretty straightforward. my biggest disappointment with my experience in Mastodon so far has been that the community seems way more technically advanced than I am and I thought I was a very advanced computer user but apparently I’m not. maybe I’m too old to learn the stuff I need to wait for it to be turned into easy websites

@dorward like I’m somewhat familiar with the terminal window in macOS but installing python now it seems like this is a project I don’t have time to dig into that I just have to hope and pray someone turns it into a website where I can just enter my credentials and it’ll do the work for me.
Mr. Dog got his eye gouged by a raccoon, please help send him to the vet!

@DataDrivenMD@mstdn.social can anyone point to a detailed explanation of exactly how to do that for beginners because it’s very different from all the 2Fa systems I’ve encountered before and when someone explained to me how to deal with it I didn’t understand a word they said.
