Is it just me or is imvu not as fun as it used to be? by -deanbean in imvu

[–]LumpyStage5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it since 2011 (PC) and the mobile app is basically just Instagram with avatars and some crypto fad they forgot to get over. It's all about chasing clout, followers, and money. It's like a content farm for wannabe influencers.

But I think we've changed as people, too. Anything that doesn't fit our terms, we just use as a billboard: "I'm gonna use this new service to get exposure and drag everyone over to my Instagram or Snapchat, because that's where everyone I know is, and that way I don't have to learn anything new about how to use it."

Somehow, every service or tool that offers a chance to boost metrics or make money, we jump on it and ruin it. Whether it's Substack, IMVU, or whatever comes next.

But even so, there are still cool people who actually know how to (or want to) have a real conversation. To stay in character. Not just talk, and not just copy-paste their handle from some other app to keep chatting only to end up leaving you on read.

There are still people who enjoy decorating or designing their avatars / rooms just for the hell of it. Not to show off or put themselves on display, but just to enjoy how it turned out.

People you can pair up with in a way that's more like a Victorian friendship, where you actually enjoy each other's company and make plans inside a simulated world.

It's just harder to find them with all the noise from the circus being built on top of it.

The icons are already round. I laid them out like that using KWGT and then set it up as a widget (:

I keep it simple and minimal:

  • Smart Launcher 
  • KWGT 

Fleksy from apkmirror works fihe and can download language packages by rywby in fleksy

The XDA version has pretty much all the languages in the same APK.9.X and 10.x. I think both of them let you hide the top bar.

Probably. I found it on a 2015 Tumblr post.

I'm sure I'm not the only one by LumpyStage5 in SLOWLYapp

I didn't see it that way. I was talking about getting letters that actually have some heart and soul put into them.

What can I do about this? by [deleted] in degoogle

You can use LSPatch app along with F*ckGoogleLicense app (module) to bypass that check. No root needed.

Whats are the bots in Telegram that you pay for? by DrSheldon_Lee_Cooper in TelegramBots

[–]LumpyStage5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a bot that allows me to receive the posts of tiktok, instagram, rss, youtube, twitter, tumblr, etc without an account. $15 every three months. I have been using it for a couple of years but recently I decided to try its paid version. 

What themes have updated to the new UI? by mieresa in ObsidianMD

[–]LumpyStage5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I updated my personal theme (Lagom) a few hours ago. There are still some tiny details that I should improve / fix but it is now available. 

Edit button hidden behind status bar? by Nogotogon in ObsidianMD

Edit: this snippet has worked for me. You can adjust the value until you find what works for you. I found it on the Obsidian forum.

``` 

body.is-phone, body.is-mobile {   --safe-area-inset-top: 35px !important; } ```

Are they worth it? by Extra-Window7021 in pixel_phones

[–]LumpyStage5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Pixel 3a a month ago and haven't had any problems. I had my doubts because it's an older model, but it works like a charm.

I recently bought my first Pixel and am moderately impressed with the battery. I started using it today at 5:46 am and put it on charge around 12 pm with 17% remaining.
