I use c# also to earn my money. Sadly the new custom to hyperinflation in language sugar and framework makes following new things quite hard. Even today starting a new project I choose .net framework 3.5 and syntax. I know this sounds extreme but 3.5 has anything I need to build great software. It also offers a very tested environment. Setting up the software stack is a very easy process. Programmed following v2 runtime also work on v4 runtime so only a simple config file side by side to exe makes it run on any windows machine without any framework deployment.
3.5 is approaching end of life in the next few years, you definitely should not building anything new with it. There's a lot of QoL changes in modern .NET that makes your life as a developer significantly nicer. Even for building windows services, the modern Generic Host model is orders of magnitude better than anything in .NET Framework.
"Face scanning is used to do ID verification on your device and then deleted immediately."
"By immediately I mean we send it to k-ID who said that's what they do."
"By that I mean they partnered with Persona to do the actual verification."
"Persona clarified that by 'immediately' they mean 'after seven days.'"
"And given their ties to Palantir, it's probably fine. You trust us, right?"
People have already validated this fyi. When k-ID was first added you could send a bogus age result to discord from your local device, which probably still works. There's no evidence your facial scans leave the device.

Which isn't true, it was a UK-only experiment being run for a small subset of users, which has now been discontinued.
I get people are outraged, but this is sensationalism at best.
