My virtual version of the Forth Deck (http://mynor.org/my4th_forthdeck.htm) is coming along pretty well, though I'm still missing keyboard emulation, so I can't fully test it.

I'm back to #DecemberAdventure posting with a new Pebble watchface concept!
And it is still in the concept phase, so no proper image here :(

I released an update to my watchface today with support for all Pebbles!
Now it's time to move to another project for #DecemberAdventure :)

It's day 1 of #DecemberAdventure (in my timezone) and I've updated my Pebble watchface with a new outline option :)

@ross It still could be a good project :) The client I wrote there is about as primitive as it gets. A client using https://ratatui.rs/ could be interesting...
This article popped up in my news feed. It caught my eye because right now Arch Linux only supports systemd officially. For Arch to switch to a new init system – even as an optional feature – would be a massive change.
So I read it, and I noticed:
- the community repo it mentions doesn't exist (merged with extra in 2023).
- the forum activity it mentions doesn't exist.
- rye-init, the init system this is all supposedly about, *doesn't exist*.
- George Whittaker, credited as the author of the article, (probably) doesn't exist.
Linux Journal, once a perfectly ordinary magazine, seems to now just be churning out AI slop. I don't know exactly when it started, but some quick scanning of the past articles show that "George Whittaker" articles started showing up frequently around April 2023.
I haven't been able to find much discussion of this aside from a post on the Arch forum (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306314), which is odd given how long this has been going on.
I miss when it was just people being dumb on the internet. AI is too efficient at being dumb.
