Benedict was more Emperor than Senator though.

Affinity, Photopea, etc. There are a few.

They tried to buy Figma, but getting past the regulators was too hard. It was clearly a play to monopolize UX design just like the did with graphic design.

Figma is a vector drawing app that was originally for UX design (an Adobe XD competitor), but they just added a bunch of graphic design tools that compete with Adobe Illustrator.

Canva does a lot of raster and vector image editing that originally targeted people that were not design pros, but they’ve been adding a lot of features that allow people to make some professional quality stuff stuff with ease.

All in all, both companies are growing into the spaces Adobe dominated. If you were a UX designer who needed to occasionally use Illustrator for a more detailed illustration, maybe you no longer need that Adobe CS license.

My guess is that Canva and Figma are 90% of the reason why people are no longer confident in Adobe as a company.

No prob

It makes a lot more sense if you look back at what the colonies were called when the name was adopted. It’s really just a holdover from a naming solution that wasn’t very weird during the time that it was introduced. Language evolves in weird and funky ways.

It’s one of those things that made sense at the time, but looks a little weird if you don’t account for the history.

Folks living in the British colonies wanted to differentiate themselves from the English, so they called themselves “Americans” because they were in the “American colonies.”

The name stuck after the colonies became the United States.

Looking at the downvotes, remember upvoting an article ≠ an endorsement of the shitty technology being discussed in the article.

We shit on the technology in the comments, and upvote it so more of us can read about it and shit on it.

TL;DR: regulations.

It’s hard to quickly get capital and quickly scale a business. The EU is a market that companies expand into once they can staff legal and product teams that can focus on the complexity of the EU.

Trump is clearly still butt hurt about offshore windmills on the horizon line of his Scottish golf course. This guy is so petty.

Don’t ask me. I didn’t write it. Wasn’t me.

Alive people drink it.

It can happen if the tool offers a clear productivity boost.

It can also happen if the competing product does what Figma did. Clone your competitors layout, keyboard commands, workflows, then just add on a bunch of cool new toys.

Depends on what do you for a living and what the alternative tool is. If you’re a professional creative that is working in a larger creative team, it’s hard to break free because of workflows, compatibility with oddball features, or you’ve hired people who are know how to fly at warp speed in CS, but are going to slow way down when they have to build muscle memory for a new tool. .

I think most of the “requirements” they’re referring to are the technical ones, not governmental.

North America’s residential HVAC landscape is pretty simply and dumb compared to a lot of what is happening in Europe. Dumb forced central air systems dominate residential HVAC.

It sounds like they don’t like developing for all the weird hardware configurations that appear in Europe.
