Adobe purchased Figma

That assertion is false: Adobe has not purchased Figma. In fact Adobe announced their intention to purchase Figma. Of course an intention to purchase is not a purchase.

"Adobe (ADBE) stock fell Friday on news that the U.S. Department of Justice plans to block the software giant's $20 billion acquisition of Figma." Source: Adobe Stock Falls As Feds Move To Block $20 Billion Figma Purchase

Generally, big tech has become very unpopular in the USA over the last few years. Generally, chastising big tech is an easy way for politicians to burnish their image with voters.

However, in this case I have surmised (like many other observers), that, realizing that $20 billion was a ridiculously high price to pay for Figma, Adobe's board of directors decided to use the U.S. Department of Justice to nix the deal. Figma seems to be a very popular and very good product, but $20 billion was an utterly absurd price.

@yeku you are right! The purchase is actually not done yet, I had no idea.

@girish I presume the purchase will never go through. I would not be surprised if Adobe ends up with a new CEO within a year or two because, it seems to me, that trying to buy Figma for $20 billion was inexcusably foolhardy.

@girish This hasn't been published yet in the app store yet, correct?

[timconsidine]

This is great news. I'll be hitting refresh on the appstore every day from now on.

[borax]

Any time estimates on penpot?

[girish]

@borax hopefully, very soon. Now that 7.4 is out, we have the OIDC addon available. We will integrate penpot with oidc and publish it.

While waiting for the release, let's go to Barcelona https://penpotfest.org/

I've put out the initial penpot package now. It is using openid connect and the new forum section is at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/166/penpot so will lock this thread and marked as solved.
