The accidental Youtuber: Olly 'Blogs' Harrison - AustralianFarmers

The highs and lows of agriculture are a daily ritual for most farmers. Who knew recording those private moments, showcasing expert problem-solving skills, mixed with a touch of humour, would be so well received? The thirst for that knowledge went far beyond first thought with a single farmer’s...

Leg amputation proves no setback for working dog champion named Cheese

Cheese was on track to be a champion when an accident cut his working dog trial career short. A year on from a leg amputation, the border collie is back in the yards and the winner's circle.

Did you watch the Bathurst 1000? I came here to mention it last night, but the site was down.

I did not watch all of it. I fell asleep. It was pretty good weather while I watched. That meant things were fairly tame, even at The Esses and down into Quarry Corner.
 
Didn't watch...well, a few over rated pile ups, only

Journalists etc know how to screw up a damn good car race

They sure can, especially if you're including the commentators. Some of them are great, Others not so much. I'm a big fan of John Hindhaugh, who is mostly known for IMSA but also does other race commentary. He's a nice enough person in real life, as well. (I got to buy him a beer before Renn Sport, a Porsche gathering in the US that includes a bunch of races involving classic Porsches. Yes, they even have a tractor race.)

Err... Yes, Porsche made tractors. They stopped in the 60s, as I recall.
 
Muster Cat..?...uh, no. It wasn't a typo.

Move over muster dogs, there's a new cat in town....

“The Microsoft Office apps included in 365 subscriptions are essential in many people’s lives and given there are limited substitutes to the bundled package, cancelling the subscription is a decision many would not make lightly,” Cass-Gottlieb said in a statement on Monday.

(Emphasis mine.)

LibreOffice exists. Heck, even Google Docs exists. Everything in Office can be had elsewhere, even for free.

Note: I'm not sure if this has changed, but there are some pocket cases where LibreOffice (Calc) is inferior to Excel. Those are extreme outliers, and there are workarounds.
 
You'd think windoze users would try something else like LibreOffice but they're not that smart.

For your edification:

LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs

The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week.
www.computerworld.com www.computerworld.com

85% of LibreOffice users are using Windows as their operating system. (In all actuality, I did not expect that to be the case. Then, I'm not sure what I was expecting.)

What's also of potential interest is that they're now getting more than a million downloads per week. (I'd hate to pay that bandwidth bill.) That makes me feel inclined to send them a donation. I'll send them a donation and say it's on behalf of Linux.org.
 
I have LibreOffice installed in my w7 VM and it's been there for years.

Got a few question/thought re how social media works/operates?

Fasten your seat belts: This is not just in Australia....this is the modus operandi all over the world !

I tried to outsmart the social media algorithm. Here's how it outsmarted me

Armed with a burner phone and a fake name, I set out to learn how Instagram’s algorithm really works. This is what happened next.
