Ah, yet another ✨ groundbreaking ✨ attempt to turn the humble #Markdown into the Swiss Army knife of #UI building, because why not reinvent the wheel with more complexity? 🛠️ But hey, who needs simplicity when you can have a markdown-powered Rube Goldberg machine right in your browser? 😂 #InnovationAtItsFinest

Ah yes, the holy grail of tech solutions: using SNS+SQS to reinvent #MCP, because nothing screams "cutting-edge" like resuscitating a relic with a 12-step AWS Rube Goldberg machine. 🤖🛠️ Meanwhile, #GitHub flexes their #AI sidekick hoping you'll ignore the fact that half the time it's like teaching a goldfish to type. 🐠💻

5 years ago: the #RubeGoldberg machine connecting students locked in dorms because of corona. This was the final demonstration of the first year @tudelfttnw.bsky.social #physics class I teach. Those students are now graduating as engineers!

Rocznica urodzin Rube’a Goldberga (1883–1970)! Inżynier, rysownik, satyryk – twórca słynnych rysunków pokazujących niezwykle złożone maszyny wykonujące proste czynności. Dziś jego nazwisko to synonim kreatywnej przesady! (fot. Wikipedia) #RubeGoldberg #satyra #technika #historiakomiksu
Today in Labor History July 4, 1883: Rube Goldberg, who worked hard to make simple things outrageously difficult, was born. He was a writer, engineer, sculptor and cartoonist. Hired as an engineer to design San Francisco’s sewers in 1904, he quit after six months to become a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. In his 72-year career, he produced over 50,000 drawings and comic strips. In 1922, he was offered $200,000 for his comics ($2.3 million in today’s dollars). And he won a Pulitzer for his political cartoons. However, his contraptions were meant to be a satire on the social and economic havoc wrought by rapid industrialization, and the fact that technology that was meant to simplify people’s lives could have the opposite effect.

🚀🛠️ Behold, the #future of #computing is... a Victorian #steampunk fever dream with gears and levers! Because why not ditch electrons for a Rube Goldberg machine when Moore’s Law takes a nap? 🤖🔄 It's the pinnacle of #tech #nostalgia, where efficiency means cranking up the entropy and energy savings involve a calculator from 1822. 🍿🎩

Another day, another 🥪 of #tech #hysteria wrapped in a desperate attempt to make #Firefox relevant again. Instead of waiting for #WebUSB, let's just build an entire Rube Goldberg machine to reinvent the wheel! As if GitHub isn't already bursting with enough "ingenious" hacks nobody asked for. 🙄

📟🤓 Intel's Pentium: breaking news from 1993—apparently, multiplying by three was such a Herculean task it required a Rube Goldberg machine of transistors. 🙄 Meanwhile, Ken Shirriffs continues his thrilling quest to make us all #nostalgia for obsolete circuitry. 🤔🔍

The Incredible Machine is a groundbreaking puzzle game from 1993 that lets you build Rube Goldberg-style contraptions. Released by Sierra On-Line, it offers creative freedom in solving tasks and received praise for its innovative gameplay. The music, composed by Christopher Stevens, perfectly fits the game's playful tone.

"Kedging Cannon" by XKCD comic (mirror bot @xkcdbot ) - Long ago... something like this could plausibly have started the requirement for all kinds of #transportation operators to receive training first. But there is no enforceable requirement for inventors to look for a simpler method first, only ridicule for building a #RubeGoldberg Machine. Maybe there should be. 🤔 https://xkcd.com/3013/ #science #tech #oops #WTF
Well, yeah, the process is a little #RubeGoldberg -esque… but I’ve managed to connect (i.e. follow both ways) between #BlueSky and here.
Who's up for making a Rube Goldberg machine?
