I’ll start by plugging Harvard’s free courses catalog as well as Udemy

Edit: Gonna add 2 more I remembered-

Blender - I wish I had more time to learn it, but I did start the infamous “Donut Tutorial” once!

Watch Cartoons Online - Lots of good older stuff!

    LibreOffice

    Free Office Suite which is excellent for personal use. If you are on mobile Collabora Office if you want an Android/iOS version

      I’ve been using it for over a decade. Prior to that I used open office but it quickly became clear Openoffice couldn’t match the development of LibreOffice. There is no concrete reason to buy microsoft’s bloated ever changing garbage.

        OnlyOffice is even better in several ways.

          It’s also worse in that they hide the fact it’s made in Russia.

          wow thanks! I haven’t been able to use LibreOffice as it is hands down one of the ugliest pieces of software I’ve looked at, and despite retrying for years, I genuinely could not tolerate it. OnlyOffice looks so great!

            I hear you. It’a almost as bad as Gimp vs Krita.

          How so? I’ve been moving between the two for years.

            I find it faster, more stable, and just generally FEELS better than LibreOffice. Which I’m sure is because it isn’t carrying 30 years of Java baggage with it from the Star office/OpenOffice.org days. And ive had better luck with document compatibility in some cases.

            The only complaint ive heard about it is just a smaller feature set than LibreOffice. But it does everything I want it to do.

            Both are great, though.
