Tabler Icons' brand-linkedin looked visually inconsistent with the
other five (different design language); Simple Icons never had a
filled-style alternative to offer since it was removed outright
(commit a9693e7259, per simple-icons#11372: LinkedIn's brand
guidelines don't permit third-party logo use). Using the last version
from simple-icons' own history (commit ea278fb, identical to what was
originally hand-authored here) restores visual consistency; the
underlying trademark caveat applies the same as it would to any
reproduction of this logo, deemed acceptable risk for a personal
site's social link icon.
github/orcid/mastodon/bluesky/matrix: official Simple Icons paths
(CC0), fetched from simple-icons/simple-icons. linkedin: Simple Icons
no longer includes it (removed from the project entirely, likely a
brand/legal request), so sourced from Tabler Icons' brand-linkedin
(filled variant, MIT license) instead for a closer visual match to
the other filled-style icons than their outline variant.
Previous icons were reconstructed from memory as an approximation,
not verified against any actual licensed source.
Small monochrome icon row (GitHub, LinkedIn, ORCID, Mastodon, Bluesky,
Matrix) rendered from a SOCIAL config tuple via a shared Jinja
partial (templates/includes/social_links.html), included unconditionally
in the sidebar below the tag cloud and again on the About-me page only.
Icons are inline SVGs (templates/icons/*.svg) using fill=currentColor,
so they track the existing accent-color/dark-mode toggle for free via
--main-link-color, no JS needed.
