    Techcrunch[^]:

    Big news in the world of digital creative technology: Adobe today announced that it would acquire Figma for $20 billion, taking out one of its biggest rivals in the realm of digital design.

    "I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

    Design folk I know are _not_ happy about this one.

        for approximately $20 billion

        yeah cause rounding such large numbers is not an issue., even if just 19.8, that's rounding of 200 MILLION, enough to buy millions of companies. stop rounding. rant over, just a recent realisation that I need a reasonable why to questions and things to close these loops in my thinking😣

          stalk, strike, kill, digest ... ruin ... that's the Microsoft strategy.
