Joshua Iz

I will be submitting a proposal about @freemix.fm and creating on AT Proto.

Happy 79th birthday to the legendary King Jammy. In a life full of musical highlights, Jammy mixed countless dubs at King Tubby's studio in the late 70s. Here's one of them, the 12" version of Ken Boothe's You're No Good... youtu.be/1QQmPW1QJw4?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinyl #music #musicsky

Hey everyone - Fark’s running an October subscription drive. We’re a bit short of our goal and could use a boost. fark.com/subscribe If you sign up for TotalFark this week you’ll get a special SOON badge. When “It Happens” the “SOON” badge will change to “It Happened!” Here are the two badges:

If a politician comes out against a vulnerable population like trans people, there are really only two options: They are bigots. They are spineless cowards willing to throw any marginalized people under the bus to appeal to the worst voters– trans people are just the wedge but it won't stop there.

The colors at sunrise were *insane* this morning. The sky, the fall colors at Promontory Point, the lake...Sheesh! Sure picked a good morning to wake up early

After some optimizations download processing on @freemix.fm are now 10–15x faster. Under 20s start times for cold downloads and usually under 8s for cached zip bundles.

Really sad to hear that legendary singer and producer Derrick Harriott died earlier today aged 87. Derrick started out as vocalist at the beginning of the 60s and scored a No.1 hit in 1961 with this gorgeous tune. RIP Derrick 🙏 youtu.be/cISWEJheoqc?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinyl #music #musicsky

It's tough out there in webdev land.

Coming soon on FreeMix: - spaces (private data) support - playlists and charts - label/org accounts with sub-accounts - video guides and tutorials - faster zip downloads Were just getting started. freemix.fm

Color Name API update 🍕 Every name in the default, bestOf & short lists now comes with a tagline, and description=true on all lists tells you how a color feels: nouns, adjectives, meanings, usage, temperature. meodai.github.io/color-name-a...

hey @mayorofchicago.bsky.social ! itd be really awesome if you could update your account to use an official domain like @mayor.nyc.gov and many others e.g. mayor.chicago.gov only takes a minute to update the DNS record and makes it a lot easier for people to trust that your account is legit! ty!

how we looking fam

@thisismissem.social was instrumental in helping with @freemix.fm moderation. Hire her!!

Just watched Joshua's great launch presentation at @chicago.at - very cool project! Can't wait to dig in 🎵

Congrats to Joshua and everyone who has been a part of this project! It looks awesome. Tell all your friends.

What @freemix.fm is doing is so ambitious, well executed from the jump, and just so freaking *cool*. They created an entire music platform with a built-in sharing and licensing system, all on atproto. You gotta see it.

For the music producers of Atmosphere

Come celebrate the FreeMix launch with us tonight at The California Clipper in Chicago. free pizza | free swag | free people 10pm–2am/21+/Free! freemix.fm/launch-party

Have a peek at this new platform for crafty music-makers — created with heart + soul by a longtime pal of The Tonearm:

Congrats to @joshuaiz.com for launching such an ambitious project. FreeMix empowers musicians with flexible licensing for their tracks and stems—it's a platform for fair collaboration and discovery. I'm very excited about its integration with AT Protocol, and its potential impact! app.freemix.fm

just got word that freemix.fm has officially launched today! super excited about this — we even have a nice native integration here on Bluesky app.freemix.fm/track/joshua...

It started with a dream 20 years ago... 10 months of work with a lot of help from the AT Proto community, Bluesky, and friends. FreeMix is live!!! Open to all and all genres welcome. Free to join. I can't wait to see what you create. (oh and some exclusive tracks by me ready to be remixed)

Login with atproto may be one of the most powerful pieces the protocol has to offer, but setting it up can be... difficult. HappyProto makes it easy. Allow your users to log in with any atproto account and skip a week of reading specs. OAuth, DPoP, scopes... forget about it. 😎 #atproto

Maybe connecting all computers together was a bad idea.

Was on the last step before launch this am and noticed audio playback was slow. From checking that to now rolling 50+ api keys (still ongoing). A blessing in disguise though...if I would have launched yesterday this would have taken the wind out of my sails. The Railway devs had a worse day than me.

Send your love and patients to web and server devs today. It's rough.

“You can meet [people] from everywhere in the club and you can become friends or you can have some kind of connection or some kind of encounter. It’s an open space, a kind that we don’t have in many other places nowadays.” An interview with Losoul:

End to End, DID to DID payment with @atcash.app Here’s a teaser. Lots more to come.

GM. We are going to win. An internet where 4 corporations wall us all into their surveillance state and make us pay rent forever is just incompatible with human flourishing. The only question is how long it takes everyone propping up history's worst billionaires to figure this out.

The gods have spoken and they are telling me to wait. FreeMix launch is delayed until this is fixed. I wish I could take credit for breaking our API service but it wasn't us I swear.

You can't have a good software launch without a potentially fatal scare the night before. Thankfully it was not fatal and ultimately fixable (and now fixed). (FreeMix is launching tomorrow!)

Tuesday in the Colors of Autumn in Chicago.

You don't need to know how relays or PDSes work to use HappyProto. Write lexicons for your data and scripts for your logic. We'll run everything underneath. If you've been lost figuring out how all the pieces of atproto fit together... HappyProto is for you. Sign up for the beta at happyproto.at.

FreeMix launch is imminent! Come celebrate with us after the @chicago.at (at://chicago) meetup at Blast Off! Thursday at The California Clipper. freemix.fm/launch-party

I voted...meaning I dropped off my mail-in ballot at an early voting location in Lake County. Not taking any chances with the mail this year. No sticker. Boo.

atproto is public by default... which is great until your app needs a private group, or an invite list, or a draft. HappyProto comes with atproto spaces already enabled. You can have permissioned data for your users, even if their PDS doesn't support it yet. #atproto

“We’d been filming the lowrider car clubs in LA – the Dukes and Imperials – which had these souped-up cars with tape machines, big speakers and hydraulic parts retrieved from airplane graveyards… We gave cassettes to the lowriders and they all played it in their cars.” How War made Low Rider:

TIL that The Specials "The Specials" LP and Madness' "One Step Beyond" were released on the same day (today) in 1979.

Today feels different...it just seems like the wheels are really finally coming off and everyone can see it. He is still very dangerous — and perhaps even more so now. We are by no means out of the woods. Voting alone will not save us but it will help.
