I really really hate QR codes. But a lot of people really like them. And they're useful during a talk for the people who really like them (I'm also including the text of the link, though, dammit!)
But... I have never done this before, and a lot of the "free QR code generators" look kind of scammy and I don't want to give people weird viruses or spam. So... fediverse, help!

I love you, fediverse.
@sundogplanets Any time there's 100 scammy/spammy tools it's because the tech is 100% open source and the spammers know how to shout louder.

@sundogplanets I wish we had something less visual than QR codes, they can be hard to scan when totally blind.
@Kevin R Jones The whole idea of QR codes doesn't make sense, when the actual site link they are pointing to isn't available as a text link below. Btw, that same problem exists for people with eyesight:; we can't see, where the QR code points to. Any human analysis about spam risk is impossible without mentioning the actual link in text. @Prof. Sam Lawler -
