Even if you were a local, you'd have to be "in the network" so to speak. Then you could push a meme project with some buzzwords that align with their political views and you would be allowed to dip in. Additionally, the EU is maliciously anti-wealth, even if you fund it yourself, they will actively cripple you with nonsensical regulations and taxes to make sure your company does not take off.

Avid Hates You 2 years ago

Both Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects are buggy, unreasonably slow and very, VERY quirky pieces of software. I switched to Davinci Resolve a few years ago and my work output skyrocketed almost overnight, but while the performance it offers is something adobe engineers can only dream of, it still lacks certain features some pros need, so they remain trapped in the adobe/avid gulags.

I also believe it is an obvious virtue signal piece, but to be fair, I also think he exposed some valid cases in that post. Are there really coping strategies and tools for all these problems?

I specially agree with the two first reasons listed in the article. I do have certified first aid and CPR training but the wellbeing of my family comes first, I am not going to get charged with attempted rape and/or cancelled because I wanted to be a good samaritan.

Ironically enough, I personally find their snarky humor just as dated as the books they poke fun at.

Didi drivers will very, very often call you. I deal with this problem by having a pre-baked message explaining that I don't speak chinese, and where do I want to go. As soon as didi assigns me a driver, I quickly send this message through the messaging feature of the didi app, then I use one of the predefined messages of the app (which appear in english on my end) to determine if my pickup location is correct, or if I want him to follow my GPS bead instead. Should the driver call me anyway, I just send him the aforementioned message through sms a couple times.

It is not perfect, but this method allows me to move around easily with didi without speaking chinese. I had no urban mapping problems, but I do test whatever address I want to go in baidu maps first, or any other chinese map app. That way, in case of problems, I can just show him the location or use whatever voice guidance, but I rarely needed this.

Speaking as a department leader myself, we all use mac computers here because we find them to be fantastic allrounders that need a minimal amount of maintenance, but if we had a newcomer with the request of a pc computer, we would have no problem with that as long as:

1. He gets the work done. 2. His choice of hardware/OS does not become a timesink.

In other words, in my department you can use whatever you please if you know what are you doing and you are going to properly deliver the work.

I personally have not seen any company with a mac only policy, but depending on the size or even the mood of the people in charge they might be annoyed at the fact that the newcomer does not like a seemingly perfect computer and they have to buy a new one, so I suggest a bit of caution.

If you are not sure about how will they take it and it worries you, why not just dual boot whatever OS of choice in that computer, or go for a VM for now until you can figure them out?
