There is a free (GPLv2) Background removal tool that do not rely on a specific GPU and works as an OBS plugin on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Unlike NVIDIA Broadcast, it can remove backgrounds from anything, including still images of objects! And it is way more flexible even when separating people.

SteamNetGodot

In it's core SteamNetGodot is the combination of Facepunch.Steamworks and LiteNetLib. A performant, easy to use C# Steam Networking library for the wonderful Godot engine.

It will be regularly updated since it's currently in use on our game Taverna.

Goodies

➡️ Compressed Steam VOIP
➡️ Smart matchmaking through Steam Lobbies / internal logic
➡️ RPC system
➡️ Very simple C# code
➡️ Bunch of cool networking code as example (replication, resource management, audio, kick, mute, ban...)

➡️ Open Source
➡️ Godot 4.3
➡️ MIT license

How about some Ocean Shader for Godot Engine?

It's not OPEN SOURCE anymore if you ban people on GitHub for different political views… there are unfortunately more and more examples like this.

Yes, they kinda able to make another account, but it's not the point: open source policies suggest that such limits can't be applied at all for social reasons.

A simple Ocean Shader for Godot 4 (much easier than the one with big waves), also MIT Licensed

It took them only 20 years since GIMP 2 and 7 years since the announcement of v3 development to finally release GIMP 3!

Now the app has non-destructive editing with text layers that keep text information, with filters that can be applied and combined on the go, etc.

Oddly enough, NVIDIA decided they need some good news too and finally open sourced the GPU kernel for Physx.

For a few years their physics library was open source in general, but was able to run on a CPU if NVIDIA GPU wasn't found. Now it's in the past and 3rd party GPUs may become compatible.

They also messed up with RTX 50, which is on a hardware level unable to run 32-bit Physx in old games. It may be fixed by some software tricks now.

Linus Torvalds rejected the code from Google programmer who tried to improve the Risk V support.

And in his casual manner the creator of Linux was pointlessly rude. Each time I get curious about toxicity of Linux enthusiasts, I remember who founded all that.
