       what is a good IM service for someone who never checks their phone and never checks their IMs? my housemate is like that, so i can never send him links without walking over and talking to him, which is annoying. also, i can't tell him stuff from bed without yelling, which is also annoying...

       @orekix yeah, he doesn't give a fuck, honestly, but always checks it when i go "hey, have you checked your X?" and i don't wanna have to do that, so ideally, something needs to appear on his computer or phone that only goes away once he's clicked or swiped it.

       @a7 yes, but how will he know that he has a new message. often he's in the middle of a game or AFK, and he's fucking blind and deaf...

       @thor @orekix Make it ring his phone whenever you send something on IM. Not perfect, but it'll bug him just enough to check.

       @a7 not that i want him to interrupt a game, but rather, i want him to notice that there is something to check after he's done...

       @thor Absolutely anything, even if it has no notifications. Send him something then yell at him across the house to check his messages :blobthumbsup:​

       @thor I don't know of anything that actually fits your needs though. On Linux, I have my notification daemon configured to never dismiss notifications automatically; I have to do it manually. If I'm away from my PC for an hour, I can come back to a ton and I can go through them one by one and decide if they need action or just dismissing. No idea about something similar for Windows though.

       @thor Hmm, it must spark a signal that he won't ignore. Maybe you could call him? - via landline/Telegram call so no extra costs are created- how about (don't laugh, I'm trying to help) a walkie-talkieIf you just want to avoid yelling a message you could install or use a BT speaker in his room and directly play voice messages...📢

       @encarsia yeah, i guess ultimately i just want to send him a message without having to make noise. just a little "hey, take a look at this" and of course he won't notice that...

       @klonoavirus @thor Delta Chat seems pretty good, but I don't have anyone to talk with at 2522594663796744@647630.xyz (and yes, that's a real email address, the domain is owned by NixNet)
