I am happy to see such thorough peer review.

Still makes me laugh that people have that URL memorized through trauma lmao

Lmao it’s the first suggestion in Google if you type DQW

XcQ it's staying blue.

QR codes are surprisingly error-resistant and loaded with redundancy.

QR & barcode scanner

It’s a shame that Rick Astley monetized that video, so now it doesn’t go straight to the Rick roll.

YouTube has put ads on non-monetized videos since 2020, the revenue just goes to Google instead. Source

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah I deleted all 137 of my videos when they did that.

Yeah, how dare the artist get money for his song? I want my memes! /s

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Such a shame, that 20 year old joke that is still incredibly funny and epic.

Any idea why your QR code looks so different from the original? Diffferent size maybe?

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

The app created its own QR code from the image.

You could say the project was a success because... she was never gonna give it up.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Respect but it helped that QR codes have some redundancies built in.

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's so great we can plaster logos in the center of it without any reasonable considerations and it would still work, so that's now abused by many apps and services. No, they weren't designed to do that, it's just a random obstacle, like a dead bug, that doesn't obscure the reading too much. Trully impressive.

While not strictly a QR code, I always liked that the Dolby Digital data between perforations on a film strip had a tiny Dolby logo at the centre.

My friend cross stitched a QR code as a tree ornament and gave it to me for Christmas. It worked, and it sent me to a ridiculous meme video. I admire his dedication to the joke.

My wife did a quilt like this. As a note for anyone else trying something like it, be sure to leave a generous border. It doesn't always scan reliably without a good border.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

the border must (not should) be 4 modules (what the spec calls pixels) wide. yccording to the spec

Well crocheting is something that I associate in my head with my mother, I can't help but be impressed by this just so much. Well played mademoiselle, well played.
