Might have been posted on CoSo already... their screen cap got 100s of comments about page design π
Honolulu Civil Beat @CivilBeat
The BMD False Alarm link is the added feature to prevent further mistakes.
@jedijester ~ that was the gist of the 400 odd comments π
@SheepOverboard yer gonna use a HTML link for this shit????
looks like it anyway
@Kactus i would have thought there would be a more secure interface......one mouse click and boom?
its bullshit, IMO
@SheepOverboard The question this raises in my mind ... Did it take them 38 minutes to rescind the false warning because there was No easy way to shut it off? I think the design issues go a lot deeper than the UI.
@misbuttoned - it was the lack of feedback from the gui (well, the almost-gui) that 'apparently' let the alert run until the phones lit up. Then 'presumably' (I'm guessing, tldr;) couldn't find the 'cancel' alert.
@SheepOverboard I'm just half-asking\joking ... was there a way to cancel the alert that didn't involve some back end SQL update or unplugging something? The GUI is horrible. But I suspect the whole thing is rotten all the way down.
@misbuttoned ~ Sure. I don't know but these are THE questions. Some comments in the @civilbeat thread seem to know what did/should happen. It's a good but long read.
@SheepOverboard Thanks. I'll check it out.
@SheepOverboard BMD is bacitracin methylene disalicylate?
@flygande_ren ~ don't know enough t know if that was a joke π
@SheepOverboard
From a reindeer to a sheep, probably not that funny tbh. BMD trademarked product.
@flygande_ren ~ hey, reindeer & sheep likely have same warped humor. BMD was new to me on both fronts :0)
@SheepOverboard How do sheep get clean?
They take a baaaath.
@flygande_ren @SheepOverboard Wheeeee!!πππππ Thank You!!
@VelvetDuchess @SheepOverboard They get worse...
What did the dog say to the sheep?
Baaaark.
@SheepOverboard @VelvetDuchess
Or maybe that was the sheep to the dog...? Who knows?
@flygande_ren @VelvetDuchess ~ the dog. It was talking sheep. If I seem unresponsive, I'm eating tomato soup which takes full attention to detail :0)
@SheepOverboard
Secretly watching "ewe tube"...
@flygande_ren ~ My birdshit account bio mentions it incorporates two defunct publications: Ewes' News and Woolly Thinker's Weekly. Maybe I should claim Ewe Tube. Thx for heads-up π
@flygande_ren @SheepOverboard ππππ
@flygande_ren @SheepOverboard Ballistic Missile Deployment?
@VelvetDuchess @flygande_ren - that sounds like a button that would deploy a nuke from Hawaii at Mar-a-Lago Golf Course.
@SheepOverboard this looks like a fucking child made it
