So something of an "offline mode," similar to that of mobile phones?
I really like this idea, and agree that as I'm also mostly a user interested
in usability, the issue of notifications popping up while watching a movie
in full screen would be annoying with others, not so annoying by myself.

Yes, we do intend to have a presence setting which influences the

I like to remember the idea that "Creations reflect your masters, be
