This is definitely me. Or indefinitely.
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 :(

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.

eli_oatThe December Adventure!
Have you seen someone adventuring? Take a look at the other logs if you've got a second this weekend, https://eli.li/december-adventure
Click around, what do you see that is catches your fancy?
I see some folks resting (top tier adventuring move!)
I see @exquisitecorp launching a rad as hell lua library!
@jillian with a tool for making narrative games
A delicious cake (file) from @spiralganglion
Watch faces so beautiful from @soxfox42 that I wish I wore watches!
What exciting adventurers do you see?
I released an update to my watchface today with support for all Pebbles!
Now it's time to move to another project for #DecemberAdventure :)

Day 3 and it actually works pretty nicely on Pebble Classic!

#DecemberAdventure day 2 brings a first, broken, version of Aplite (Pebble Classic) support to my watchface.

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

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.
Very unfinished, but here's the source anyway.
