    Against the ⁂ symbol as the #Fediverse icon!

    :fediverse: coloured pentagram: interconnected nodes with diversity included by default, just like Fediverse servers.

    ⁂ asterism: three disconnected identical silos shielding themselves with hedgehogs' spines, just like Twitter, TikTok and Instagram.

  2. me: I know doing an #asterism on the #odyssey would be very on brand for the #podcast...

    BoP: Yeah

    me: but i just don't want to go to a 3 hour movie..

    My grandma is going to be so happy that her cape is becoming a global design reference.

  4. A quick overview of the asterisms in the LettError fonts. All new titles have have the symbol and I will add them to older ones when useful. I prefer the asterisk with 5 strokes. For LTR Very Bauble the bottom asterisks are rotated inward to create the triangular counter. This is a pretty illusion. For CT Action Grotesque the legibility at 7pt was more important. It is a complex shape and I want to it do its job at scale. By moving the bottom asterisks outward, they create some room for the top asterisk. The whole symbol becomes a bit wider, especially in the heavier weights. Click on the images to 👀 inspect details, some nice outline details in both typefaces, if that is your cup of tea. #fediverse #asterism #fonts #typedesign

  5. NEW EPISODE TOMORROW MORNING -- where are we off to for our long-delayed #asterism for the #constellation #Centaurus?

    THE (Galilean) MOONS OF JUPITER!

    It'll be a mostly #astronomy focused episode since we've covered the #mythology of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in other episodes, but don't worry, we'll recap the #myths for you!

    Here's a little trailer for the second half of season 3: Into the Wild: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

  6. @Archaeoweaver
    I'm ok with them being an asterism. 😀
    And ok with them not being stars too.

    Those line segments on the outside of the triangles looking so "shining" / "beaming".

  8. 19:50. In the meanwhile, I am cutting a piece of paper to make an asterisk, then we are transferring them on black fabric, cutting it three times, to finally compose an asterism.

  9. 19:20. I get at Nonna D’s.

    The kitchen table, where we used to sew, is ready for dinner, we can’t use it.

    We go in a bedroom, and she tries to figure out how to convert the cloth in a cape. We gotta cut it and change the shape!

  10. We couldn’t find anything big enough, until…

    “Tommi, why don’t we use the cloth below the Christmas tree? 👀”

    So we took that.

    17:50. We have fabric!!!!!

    I call Nonna D: “Nonna Gorix gave me something! I am coming for dinner, let’s make this cake 🤟🤟🤟”

  11. ⁂ Fediverse Cape — The Making of

    I got an idea! I decided to make a CAPE with the Fediverse Symbol for #39C3. Edit: I added a picture (spoiler) at the beginning.

    Of course I got the idea SUPER LATE, I am leaving tomorrow morning at 7:00 from Sanremo.

    Here is how it happened.

    13:00. We were having the Christmas lunch with the whole family at my grandma’s and I was telling my cousins how INCREDIBLE Congress is, and how people go around dressed with the most insane things.

    I started brewing the idea of something to make and wear myself over the afternoon, while napping at my parents’.

    17:47. I call grandma D, the most expert sewer of the family.

    “NONNAAA I WANNA MAKE A CAPE! Do you have any big pieces of fabric?” “No… I only have bedsheets…”

    I call Nonna Gorix, who proudly calls herself my “trovarobe” (literally “things-finder”). I ask her the same thing. She tells me to come over, and we start looking in her stuff, as you see here:

  12. My favourite new additions in Samaano version 2.400, prescription sign, soon to be encoded Saudi Riyal sign, Tamil year sign, #Asterism the Fediverse symbol.

  13. We are making a typeface, and there is one glyph that cannot be missing.

    Sofi made it 💕

    Here’s the font repository, released under OFL. Feel free to play with it, and open PRs! 🤟

  14. ⁂ as the #fediverse symbol

    ICYMI, this #asterism is something you can copy paste from this post or from symbol.fediverse.info/en

    ⁂ is Unicode U+2042 #PSA #decentralizedweb
