Kara GoldfinchFriendly reminder that using those 'fancy text' generators to make your name or the text in your posts all pretty makes them inaccessible to screen reader users. They can also be a pain to read visually.
to you, they're just cute lettering you can just skip over. For a screen reader user like me, depending on various things, they could come out as
'mathematical small bold k mathematical small bold a mathematical small bold r mathematical small bold a',
'letter 126b letter 17dj letter 13y7dwiz'
or nothing at all.
I'm not sure off the top of my head how they appear on a Braille display but it's bound to be a right mess.
I don't particularly call any of those pretty, do you?
Plain boring text that is accessible to everyone is the new pretty.

RobinPSA: When you export your data from LastPass, it will also include all credentials on any linked accounts too.
There's no option to choose which vaults are exported.
That means you may end up with all your personal accounts in your new work vault, or work accounts in the personal vault of your new password manager.
At the time of writing "unlinking" vaults does not seem to be working via the "Advanced Options" menu, but does work under "Account Benefits".
If you have already exported/imported into a new password manager, make sure to check for any accounts you're not expecting. They may be in a sub-folder.

Sym RoeThe photo ID service (Voter Authority Certificate) is live https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate.
You can use it to apply for a photo ID. Photo ID is now required for most UK elections, and this service gives you a free one if you don't have other appropriate ID.
You can apply now for one even if you don't have any upcoming elections
Some neat data viz and journalism here on funding in #UKPolitics:

Starting a career in the world of cyber security — Cydea
For the first four years of my professional life I worked as a Development Engineer in the Automotive Engineering industry. It’s been a full year now since I made the decision to change fields to the rapidly expanding industry of Cyber Security, and now feels like a good time to reflect on my journey so far: my background, why I made the jump, and my reflections against what I expected.
