Curated lists I keep coming back to and thought other people might use. Mostly YouTube channels grouped by what you are actually trying to learn, from computer science and machine learning through hardware, game development and digital design, plus the free SVG illustration sources I reach for on real projects and a couple of arguments for RSS, which is still doing quiet work for me.
