not sure which community to post this to but... this is my personal account on one of the many EU countries that are experiencing a lovely housing crisis.

Dramatic title but w/e :P

I know that the standalone RTX Voice application allows GTX cards to be used, but bear in mind it's only for GTX and RTX graphics cards. What about AMD graphics users? What of those that don't have RTX 5 Billion or AMD RX 8 Billion?

The second thing that would be addressed in a hypothetical FOSS alternative would be the dataset the AI relies on. While it may not be useful for end-users, for developers this could be used for their respective projects, or maybe even a fork?

Or maybe users could contribute to the dataset by recording random potentially unwanted noise? Idk, the possibilities may be considerable.

There is this project though to be honest it's too much to take in at once for the uninitiated and time-constrained like me. What RTX Voice does right is it is simply one software and one separate virtual driver. Set the microphone you'd like to be suppressed and set RTX Voice as default. It's almost Plug n Play in a way.

Welcome to c/open_e_resources,

This community, which is not affiliated with UNESCO's OER btw, was created so that anyone may share educational resources that are open, libre and free by nature.

Quality education shouldn't need to be expensive, locked behind paywalls and proprietary licenses, so let's unlock those gates together.

The 5R principles below are used as our metric for the resources we search for:

• Retain - make, own, and control a copy of the resource (e.g., download and keep your own copy)
• Revise - edit, adapt, and modify your copy of the resource (e.g., translate into another language)
• Remix - combine your original or revised copy of the resource with other existing material to create something new (e.g., make a mashup)
• Reuse - use your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource publicly (e.g., on a website, in a presentation, in a class)
• Redistribute - share copies of your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource with others (e.g., post a copy online or give one to a friend)

(excerpt taken from opencontent.org)

When finding a resource, make sure to list the license/nature of the resource and anti-features, similar to how F-Droid does it.

If there's any question or anything you'd like to see improved/changed, let me know. I'm also looking for mods (no criteria).

This may be an instant "yes" for some of you, but there are actual proponents to this idea of video games being an art form, separate no less.

Arguments include (non-exhaustive list):

• Video games are just combinations of previously established art forms (music, fictional prose, visual art, etc..)
• Certain video games (think Pong and Tetris) weren't made for the purpose of being "artistic".
• Because video games are interactive, this positions video games outside of the area of the arts. No other types of art comes close to this level of interactivity.
• Video games (especially mass-marketed ones), regardless of their nature, are not recognized as art for as long as the purpose is solely for financial gain, which is the norm nowadays.

Personally, I believe that video games are flexible enough to possess unlimited art forms, ranging from being creatively artistic and visually stunning (e.g. Journey [2012]) to being only a tech demo or both, since they are an amalgamation of previously established art forms.

To make this discussion productive, I'd suggest approaching these arguments with an open-mind and/or coming up with an opinion supported by some video game example (note, this is only a mere suggestion).

EDIT: Just to be clear, the counter-arguments list above are NOT my take on the matter. They're loosely taken from several sources, including an IRL discussion w/ a friend and articles online, e.g. Games aren't art, says Kojima.
