So I was interested to dig more into this..., but I wasn't able to find any other source that talked about this. Furthermore, while some digging suggests that the author is a real person, the text didn't score well on https://undetectable.ai/ . Do with that whatever you will*

FWIW, trying to install it within a distrobox container gave the following error:

error: target not found: rye-init

Which, AFAIK, suggests that the package is not found in the repo. Nor does going through https://archlinux.org/packages/ yield any results. At this point, my best best would be to spin up a VM and see if that makes a difference. But I'm not really in the mood at the moment.

Regardless, has somebody checked the package out for themselves? Or, have they seen discussions on it elsewhere?

It's dated June 17, so it's not an April Fool's Day article.

EDIT: I was gonna say that Linux Journal has been around for a while, and I've seen material from them over the years, so they should be reputable. It does look like they were purchased a couple years ago...but by Slashdot, of all places.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Journal

Linux Journal (LJ) is an American monthly technology magazine originally published by Specialized System Consultants, Inc. (SSC) in Seattle, Washington since 1994.[1] In December 2006 the publisher changed to Belltown Media, Inc. in Houston, Texas. Since 2017, the publisher was Linux Journal, LLC. located in Denver, Colorado. The magazine focused specifically on Linux, allowing the content to be a highly specialized source of information for open source enthusiasts.[2] The magazine was published from March 1994 to August 2019, over 25 years,[3][4] before being bought by Slashdot Media in 2020.[5]

I wouldn't expect Slashdot to be putting out incorrect material either.

shrugs

Maybe the site was compromised and someone decided to put up a joke article?

Look at the other articles on the site. They are all just AI garbage.
