@leminal.spaceFake Dentist perhaps? Something about getting cavities filled.
Fake McDonalds? Not sure.
I am running EndeavorOS with XFCE 4 and am using Mullvad as my VPN. To be clear I know Mullvad's client has a lockdown and kill switch mode but it seems like after updating it my PC is connecting to the internet without it. I could be mistaken but I don't think it's blocking anything at that point. I would likely have to wait until the next Mullvad update to test this for sure though. If someone can either confirm or deny my suspicions I would greatly appreciate it because I wouldn't have to find another work around.
All that said if that is the case, how can I prevent my PC from connecting to the internet when Mullvad is not running?
Maybe there's a simple option like binding the network manager to mullvad client application? Ideally I'd like to avoid either not using their client and using some thrown-together update script like
#!/bin/bash
xfce4-terminal --command="sudo pacman -Syu";
/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn";
Edit: Maybe it is connecting after the update but not showing the GUI. I came across this post on GitHub
I have a Mullvad desktop app set to launch on start-up. Also "Start minimized" is set to false. At the system start-up I get connected to the VPN, so the Mullvad daemon apparently starts, but no application window launches. I have to launch it manually.
I did not check to see if this was happening after I updated.
The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink.
I am wondering if this mechanic has been done before though?
It's become quite common in the indie horror scene.
In the 2007 video game Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis Watson would not move if in the player's view but would teleport behind the protagonist when given the opportunity. A video of it can be found here.
Considering this could be an easy place holder for developers or a way to get around programming walking animations all together I'm surprised no one took the idea and ran with it before then.
All that said it could have been used in books or movies. Maybe a twist on some other vision-centric myth like Medusa or Orpheus and Eurydice?

I'm tired of modern video games being shut down from pointless server requirements and wanted to help the cause to spread the word that we might be able to d...
I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.
It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I'm just curious what people have to say.
It also doesn't need to be "dead". It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

Although it's nowhere near ready for prime time, there's a lot to love here.
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV.
Not looking for Reddit answers like "My parent's marriage"
I listen to a decent amount of audiobooks and I'll occasionally miss a one-off description of something important. I was wondering if there are projects to add a visual component to audiobooks? Official or fan-made it doesn't matter. If it does exist what would I search for to find something like this?
Maybe a video with AI generated images and the listener is required to supply their own audiobook or something like that.
I feel like I have seen this done with the Bible several times.
Edit: It seems like the answer is no.
People have suggested movies, VNs, and point and click games but that's more than what I am after. All I really want is something that accompanies the audio that can occasionally act as a quick reference. If you are still have trouble imagining what I am talking about think of an audio-only podcast that is uploaded to Youtube. They might add a photo in post to accompany what they are talking about but you can still enjoy it without the visual aspect.
I thought there might be a group of people on Youtube doing this with AI images or an audiobook publisher commissioning art to do this.
