Have any of you using KeePass got it integrated into Firefox? It looks like a hassle to set up and I don't know if it'll be efficient to use with a screen reader like that.

Is there an online group for blind musicians that isn't Facebook? So an e-mail list, forum, discord server etc?
I don't mean one dedicated to your favourite DAW of choice, I'm in a couple of those already. I mean just a general musicians group if that makes sense.

I'll do a predictive sentence thing.
On your predictive keyboard, type "My cat likes sitting on" and let it finish the rest.
My cat likes sitting on my keyboard too and it makes it look good.

@KaraLG84 My cat likes sitting on the sofa and I have to go to the shop for some reason.

The DragonsCave instance I'm on has a load of custom emojis that I think are quite unique. Naturally there's a load of dragon ones, like whatever :dragon_coolmlem: is. It's called dragon_coolmlem. What's a mlem when it's at home?
There's also a load of eyeless blobcats like :eyeless_blobcat_uwu: (eyeless_blobcat_uwu which I think is an anime smile thing) because the majority of the people on here are blind.

@KaraLG84 Mlem is, I think, unless I've misunderstood the cool kids' language, when a cute animal sticks its tongue out. But don't ask me what the difference is between a mlem and a blep.

(Your dragon does indeed have its tongue out, btw.)

@RolloTreadway @KaraLG84 Believe blep = tongue sticking out a bit, mlem = tongue out touching nose. Or is it the other way around?

I was just thinking about all the US songs that name-drop places over there.
the one I was just listening to goes "We used to be happy once upon a time/But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.
Why Mendocino county.
then I thought about if they used an English place instead. But the sun sank west of the Greater Manchester county line. Or The sun sank west of the Rochdale Bypass. Doesn't really have the same ring to it does it?

What I love about rick Riordan's novels is the thing of setting ancient myths in modern times. what I don't like about them is the sheer amount of teenaged angst and people not communicating with each other.
So, I'd love to read something like that, but for adults. Any recommendations welcome.

@SallyStrange @KaraLG84 @bookstodon And, then,there's the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert. I don't believe it's finished yet. At least,I haven't read all of the books in the series. Quite good but not for those who don't enjoy sexual content or romance in their books.

@yyc_another_jc I read Minotaur when it came out, and liked it a great deal. I have it on my shelves, but I remember feeling so down when I finished reading it I haven't reread it, although I want to. I liked his Visits With the Drowned Girl too.

Seeing as My wife and I are watching and reading Percy Jackson things, I fancy trying Stephen Fry's Greek Myths books. Are they any good?
@bookstodon

NightDrake ,

@KaraLG84 @bookstodon I read the first Percy Jackson book. I don't really see the big deal about them. The kid was funny, the book was ok, but everything got wrapped up in a cute little bow by the end. I'll read more when I want to read something easy and thoughtless.
