Tragic: local man was just congratulating himself for sending six emails and starting to relax when half of them immediately responded

@tynanpurdy.com bought me a cake for Streamplace’s birthday 😊

atproto community I love you but it's time for a gentle roasting

Streamplace has been live in the App Store and Play Store for TWO YEARS as of this month

One of you could have published a social-app fork by now, I believe in you

It's Streamplace's second birthday! Decided to share an essay I've been sitting on for some time, explaining my thinking on Streamplace's place in the world as a product and company. The question: is Streamplace for end users or developers? And the answer: very both.

How Streamplace Works: User-first and developer-first at the same time

Because pretty soon those won't be separate groups of people

what if atproto's moat is destroying all of the other moats

Billions of billions of dollars spent on adtech, invasive tracking on every element of our lives, and the ad I get served is “19 things to cut while living on retirement”. What was it all for?

NEW BLOG! After closely following atproto permissioned data, my take: what if an "atproto repository" is the base thing and there's more than one way to sync it? Based on @ipv.sx's take and grounded in a real-world Streamplace use case: how do I make a video private, then public?

What is an atproto repository?

One repo, multiple sync methods

Ironically, Streamplace bans you if you don't mention cocaine at least once per stream. Sorry, I don't make the rules! (I totally do)

This is really well-written and we should make atproto accommodate this better!

The biggest one to me: you can totally do an offline atproto repo that you sync like a git repository! Nobody really does yet but the data structure supports it, Streamplace even does hardware signing through PKCS#11

Hey if you haven't checked out @plyr.fm in a bit, take a look. @zzstoatzz.io has been really regularly grinding on it and it's quickly turning into one of my favorite atproto apps; been using the 24/7 radio as my stream backing for a couple weeks now

plyr.fm

audio streaming app

You can just do that? Nice. Streamplace is now the biggest app in the Atmosphere

ehh??

Yeah it was something I spent a lot of time getting good at that now just doesn't matter anymore :(

The sign on the door doesn't say "Solving video for everybody forever (but only at the pace of manual coding so it's more fulfilling for me)", we got shit to do

has anyone seen my cat? his hiding stat is too high, he’s completely invisible

Yeah surprised at how many people
seem to think “safety” is stern instructions in a Markdown file

Having a fully-sandboxed and VPN’d dev environment for code streaming accidentally paid off really well here; Streamplace prod credentials and LLMs stay on different hardware or else

you just can’t introduce to me something called “GLP-1” and something called “GLM-5” and expect me not to get those confused

ban open models, call that a GLP-5 inhibitor

we’re doing another round of “we don’t know what consciousness is but LLMs definitely aren’t because look at this diagram” this morning huh

Really nice vibe at the Portland meetups, they’ve got me buying a train ticket once a month now, would recommend

> Keep the existing syntax, and get the IETF URI syntax rules changed

Yeah DIDs are great even outside of atproto and there’s no actual syntactical ambiguity so this is the right answer

Can arm wrestle everyone in the IETF if I need to

The AT-URI Syntax Mess

Why AT URIs are not valid under IETF RFC-3986, what the impact is, and some possible ways forward.

Hey we shipped a new Go code generator for lexicon types. Been in production for a couple weeks now 🥳

Based off of @bnewbold.net's cobalt work and @hypha.coop's go-dasl for DRISL serialization. Copies indigo's echo server stub generation verbatim. 100% compatible with @atproto/lex lockfiles.

Made an event for the ATP IETF working group tomorrow, come hang out in the stream!

ATP IETF Working Group

First meeting of the IETF atproto (ATP) Working Group at IETF 126 in Vienna! I couldn't make it in person so I'll be rebroadcasting it and broadcasting my presentation.

Get ready for the most boring atproto read-along of all time: The AT Protocol Trademark terms. atproto.com/about/tradem...

AT Protocol Developers @atproto.com

@bsky.app recently acquired the trademark for AT Protocol (and variants) to help protect the ecosystem. Here’s more about what that means. atproto.com/blog/at-prot...

AT Protocol Trademark

Bluesky now owns the trademark for AT Protocol to shield the ecosystem and make sure it can be used as widely as possible.
