Not really. They’re not indifferent at all. In reality they act like narcissistic and like psychopathic humans. I watched a documentary years ago exploring that and talking with psychologists about symptoms and they agreed that they behave like psychopaths. And don’t forget that they are run by humans.

Corporations:

• Can buy and sell stuff
• Can do evil things without consequences (an employee can pay the consequences but the company will keep going).
• They have no remorse or empathy.
• Can manipulate to reach their goals, no matter who (from media to politics to countries).
• Whenever somebody at the top can’t reach an economical goal, that person is fired and replaced by one who can. It’s like a hive evil mind.
• Goal #1 is always money (absolute selfish and egomaniac), no matter what or who.

Blender by a huge mile. Yes, there’s tons of other software like Linux, of course, but Blender is such a powerful, well managed, economically viable and healthy (community) project that it should be shown as an example of how Open Source should be.

My biggest hurdle with other projects is the fanboys, because many times they’re quite toxic, insulting everybody who doesn’t adore the project and don’t accept constructive criticism.

Yes, do it! Now! It’s the safest way, but only by choosing the right and trusted ones. Examples:

• The expensive but good one: 1Password
• The free, geeky and difficult one for normal users: Keepass.
• The simple and free and beloved one: Bitwarden
• The don’t try it ever because they will leak your data: Lastpass.
