Could somebody explain this "figma balls" joke? There are no entries on urban dictionary.
It comes from "Ligma balls".
The word Ligma sounds like a disease, so you would say something like "it seems like he has Ligma" and bait someone into saying "Ligma?" or "What's Ligma?" at which point you say "Ligma balls"
You can add "LMAO GOTTEM" at the end for extra punch
Aha. Sort of works for Ligma. Unless I'm too old for these jokes, it makes no sense to me whatsoever for Figma.
Figma resembles the word ligma. Figma on its own does not work.
We're several layers deep into the meme
Headline should reflect that it's because of regulators, Adobe for sure would like to be a monopoly. Second time we were saved since Nvidia buying Arm got canceled.
Well, specifically, a market monopoly for UX design tools. They already have a pretty strong stranglehold over other creative disciplines. Illustration, photography, graphic design, print publishing, etc.
Like UX, there are lots of smaller alternatives, but Adobe’s apps dominate the pro space.
Ah, headline should of read then "You Won't Believe How Big Government Steps In And Crushes This Person's* Freedom"
*Person refers to Adobe, see laws and regulations of the United States
So, does the Adobe XD team hang around now? Adobe was signaling that XD was going to get axed for Figma.
Adobe XD got AXD xD
LMAO! GOT EM!
It’s too bad companies don’t open source axed projects. I’m not an adobe fan nowadays but I really liked XD.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Following mounting pressure from regulators in the UK and EU, Adobe and Figma announced on Monday that both companies are mutually terminating their merger agreement, which would have seen Adobe acquire the Figma product design platform for $20 billion.
As a result of the termination, Adobe will be required to pay Figma a reverse termination fee of $1 billion in cash.
“Adobe and Figma strongly disagree with the recent regulatory findings, but we believe it is in our respective best interests to move forward independently,” said Adobe chair and CEO Shantanu Narayen in a statement.
“While Adobe and Figma shared a vision to jointly redefine the future of creativity and productivity, we continue to be well positioned to capitalize on our massive market opportunity and mission to change the world through personalized digital experiences.”
