QR codes are not meant for humans to read, they are meant for machines to read. Why do they want to make QR codes round or make them heart-shaped when they could just embrace the brutalist geometric QR code?

    I’m fairly pro qr code, at least over urls. Its just easier to scan and go to a website over sit and type out or worse take a picture and convince myself to go to it later to hand jam it.

    But not just printing the map is so silly lol

      idk what mobile OS you have but on iOS you can actually long press text in an image and it’ll OCR it into an actual text element you can copy/paste, like so:

      I would imagine Android would have something similar but idk

        No! Not as far as I can see and I couldn’t find any foss software supported on my phone for it. That is a cool feature!
