Check out Playwright which is developed by Microsoft. It's like Selenium, but newer and maybe better. You can use it outside unit tests as a regular library.

What is the best way to simulate "open an web browser application and login" without having to open 400 browsers to get 400 users online?
I'd suggest looking into https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-dotnet, it has been so much nicer to work with than Selenium.

If you've ever wanted to pull data periodically from a website, or you are a QA automation person looking to do E2E (end to end) testing, then Playwright might be an option for you. Similar to Cypress or PhantomJS, Playwright is a library that allows you to automate ineractions with websites, you can even take screenshots and PDFs!

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
It looks like the port was compiled with a binary SkiaSharp [0] since that requires Google tooling to build. Interesting to see the committer allowing this. Apparently it is not the first time.

System.Drawing just dosen't work
The library that I've had the best luck with is SkiaSharp with .net 3.1. That said, I agree with others that I'd update the version of .net if possible.

Open-source cross-platform C# library that encode .BMP files?
Found this issue that basically say it's not supported in skia directly, and it's right, from this page it seems only supported on iOS/Mac. This is pretty frustrating considering the documentation of SkiaSharp Encode() doesn't mention it.
- Easy-to-use 2D graphics libraries

Creating 2d Interactive Building Map with Blazor.
Yes, I'm not aware of any way to use either the canvas api or webgl directly. This project has bindings for the canvas API, but it hasn't been updated in two years:https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Canvas. SkiaSharp seems a nice option too: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp. It supports graphics across a whole load of platforms, including Blazor on the web.
- What library should I use to make basic 2D graphics which is simple to use and that is able to quickly draw a bunch of particles (circles) on the screen with updating positions every frame? (Not the best description ever. I explain it better in the post's text)

Compress/resize images
If you want pure .NET, cross-platform, and future compatibility, SkiaSharp is the new way to do it.
- ImageSharp leaving the .NET Foundation due to licensing change

Problem using Plugin.Firebase on IOS
