VIsn't MAUI the successor to xamarin?
Lme when MAUI still isn't supported on linux
KI think MAUI is supposed to be their universal successor to basically everything
KBut it's taking one hell of a long time for them to figure it out
VI stopped following it when I learned that it wasn't going to be consistent UI visuals on different platforms 
Not supporting linux also turned me away, yeah

KDid they actually say they gave up on linux tho? I hope not.
Lit's just not something they are working on
Lthey haven't claimed they wont
Lbut they arent
VThey said it is for the community to develop
I can't seem to find where it was said, but I know it exists

KSeems like there's community work on it at least
Txamarin is cursed, because it's seemingly both the custom UI controls and android API bindings in one package. and it's not really deprecated
Ti would like to hear more on this
Ti personally like that you can debug c# android apps through wifi
Lits just not mature, i have encountered times where ittl install dozens of the same copy of the app to my phone, all separately launchable, problems where ive had to restart my phone as adb just doesnt detect it, had to constantly replug my phone, attaching a debugger would crash the app sometimes, sometimes it wouldnt, attaching a debugger would break parts of System.Drawing's text drawing
Ljust overall weird behaviour
Tcool, and i had none of those problems 
Lmaybe it was just the linux builds of it all being ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Talso sincere good luck on finding a new phone to run linux on
Lplanning on getting a pinephone
Li dont need the latest and greatest specs
Ti'm especially concerned about eSIM bullshit
Lmy carrier still has normal sim cards
Tvery understandable. i meanwhile imported a super cheap phone, and reflashed it using an exploit on the locked bootloader
Tbut just because it's super cheap doesn't mean it's bad. less than half the price of a samsung S7 but twice as fast cpu+gpu and more storage and memory

Lmy texture packer works woo
L
Ltook 1.5s
Lim willing to bet 99% of that is just updating the texture
Lits not maximally effecient as it only creates square textures
Lbut its decent enough
KNow add a feature where it cuts up everything into really small squares so you can pack weird resolution images perfectly
Lyou mean cutting a single texture into multiple parts, then stitching it back together when drawing?
KYas
Lthats the most cursed thing ive ever heard
Lalso that seems quite unnessesary
KWas mostly joking but now I'm imagining a packer that just cuts everything up into like 4x4 pixel squares for maximum perfect packing
Li mean you could but then your meshes are much larger
KOr even better, make it 8x8 pixel squares. You can call it the Cursed Forge packer :D
Li dont think the gains in memory would be worth the losses in performance
KWould probably be amazing tho for those dating sim games where FPS is just a thing you hear about in terms of how fluent the text shows up on screen
KMan I can't wait for C# AOT compiling to become "finalized"... the idea that I can finally make stuff that you can run on everything including those emulation handhelds... It's a very exciting prospect.
T... emulation handhelds?
LNativeAOT is already "finalized" it's part of the net7 sdk
Hsounds like CurseForge :v
Hdaym my mind still can't understand english jokes :v
