The United States have established that they’re incapable of stable relations. In world politics a decade is a short time and agreements are expected to last much longer than that. But the States have established that 180° turns can be expected every four years when sane presidents get elected and every couple weeks when it’s someone like Trump.

Living that down will require decades of very diligent attention to consistency and diplomacy.

Then the 90s rolled around and we got amazing shows like Viper and Thunder in Paradise instead.

Microsoft’s definition of “cross-platform” generally means “Windows and mobile devices, maybe Macs”; MAUI supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Tizen, but not desktop Linux.

Generally speaking, if you want a .Net UI that works on all desktop operating systems you’ll want a third-party framework like Avalonia or Uno. Yes, that’s extremely annoying but .Net is generally well-designed otherwise and they have to put that signature Microsoft touch somehwere.

One nitpick: MAUI isn’t cross-platform in the sense that it runs on Linux. Okay, it does on Android, but not desktop Linux.

They’d have to go with something third-party like Avalonia.
