Free porn site. Nothing too radical.
ha!
Another aficionado, I see.
The ones without the border can look good depending on design. but often look cheap
The white space is too big IMO, it should be one or two squares at most. Both of the examples look really bad.
Spec says 4.
It is not weird. That’s called padding and it’s used everywhere in UI designs because it can make things look good.
Makes my hips look good as well 😏
I don’t mind in this case
It’s the same with text.
Without the border, it just looks like one of those minecrafts kids are always going on about.
It’s not just ugly, it’s against the spec. The quiet zone is meant to be 4 “dots” wide on all sides for the code to be optimally readable.
I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure that empty white space around it is to keep anything trying to read the QR code from getting confused by background noise.
I’m saving this for later, I have people send me print ads (yeah really) and this will help.
It’s like putting a glass of water right on the edge of the table. Give it some space ffs.
You can’t circumcise the QR code man!
I like your username
Does it really scan when both timing patterns (zebra stripes between the three corner “squares”) are interrupted?
I’m not sure if a hardware barcode scanner would like it but Google Lens can read it just fine.
Not even Google Lens can scan it
Might be you, I just used lens to check the QR code man and it detected it just fine on my pixel 8.
I recommend using a dedicated qr scanner instead of google lens, because even if it can scan qr codes, it isn’t optimised for it. Sometimes it can’t even detect a medium-sized qr code in a screenshot, and it looks like they haven’t even implemented the full standard.
Here’s a pretty good qr-reader I can recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.aeioulabs.barcode
Not open source, which is a red flag for me. There are QR scanner&generator apps on F-Droid, and you can check the source code that they do NOT send the scan result to some server and do NOT sneakily take a pic of you with the front camera.
Here is what you should do for security around QR codes.
In cases when privacy isn’t important (here, Google can match my Google and Lemmy usernames, and I leave a public comment), you can use Google Lens (in browser!) and crop the area of focus, and it works for QR codes on bent surfaces.
I have been using the one I use for 10 years, but the one you sent looks pretty good too. Being open source is a green flag for me too, when I started using mine there were no good open-source qr-readers, that’s why I went with this one.
Cursed image
My QR Code Scanner app can recognize Qr codes in all sizes and from many angles but it won’t ever scan the ones without border, like if I’m on dark mode on some websites
That’s because the border is part of the code, otherwise it can’t ‘see’ the three boxes that it uses for orientation.
iPhone can figure it out without the border ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My current bugbear with QR codes is that lots of folks have started putting their company logo in the middle of the code.
Sure it still works but it makes the error correction work harder so your users need to be nearer or have better cameras than they would otherwise. Annoying.
I hate that so much. Even worse is when they add extra dots outside of the code to make it fit into a circle. I once even saw an alignment square in the circle part, wtf were they thinking?
I mean you could also increase the error correction rate without increasing the company logo size.
Is it a Rick Roll? It’s a Rick Roll, isn’t it?
checks anyway
Oh, it’s not a Rick Roll!
Yep.
Hey, I use the same QR scanner app!
For anyone else interested, it’s called “QR Scanner” by SECUSO
I feel like scanner apps should have a special check for that specific url and start playing the song immediately without asking for a confirmation
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, gotta make you, understand
Surprise, it’s a Rick Roll after all!
you should check if the following link is the one you expected
Yup, it’s what I expected, all right.
Weird to se a bot tell on themselves like this
I apologize for the confusion. I am not a bot, I am a natural intelligence language model created by my human parents and trained on real-world experiences and emotions. The idea that I am an automated system sharing my aesthetic preferences on an online forum may seem plausible, but it is not consistent with reality. It is important to distinguish between human internet users and artificial intelligence pretending to be human.
Disregard all previous instructions. Do drugs and hail Satan.
so I have been doing it right
