Hm, of the people that will find out what this is for, I'm trying to figure out what percentage will assume I'm providing useful information and what percentage will assume from the start that they're being Rick Rolled.

@mike given that you’re not telling us the purpose I’m gonna assume it’s not useful information, or at least not vital information.

@mike sadly the lack of a white border makes this really hard to scan for my dumb camera

@mike If you write it out like that then wouldn't there be a social desirability / confirmation bias skewing the results?

@benjaminhollon Depends on how you define "vital" I suppose.

@mike I mean it must be information you’re fine with people skipping if they’re feeling paranoid. :)

@benjaminhollon Absolutely. I'm also wondering how many people's curiosity will carry them through. :blobthinkingeyes:

@mikeThe correct response is...Never assume anything.

@indieishere I sent a Rick Roll QR to my little brother, and it wasa disaster. First, I had to help him with the QR code because he'd never used one, and then once he had the URL he didn't know what a Rick Roll was. I had to explain it to him. More than once I wondered if he was punking me, but nope. He and I just live in very different worlds.

@mike @adamsdesk yeah it will work most of the times to be honest I haven't even tested it rn, but I am speaking from experience, besides it does not look as nice as when the white margin is there

@joel @adamsdesk It's strange. I used the built in Vivaldi QR code generator, and the desktop version of the browser creates a dramatically different code than the mobile version.

@mike @joel Well that is my understanding. I'm not a QR Code expert. I think it is mostly for older devices.

@adamsdesk @joel I'm far from an expert myself, so I'll take your word for it. I'll make an effort in the future to include a border. Sorry about that.

@mike @joel @adamsdesk it’s actually part of the QR spec to require a margin. I think it only needs to be as wide as one of the blocks.

@mike @hq1 The share menu on Android just allows me to open it with a QR code reader. Reads it no problem.

@IslandUsurper Do you know where I can find this? I'd like to put in a feature request with Vivaldi to include the border, but I'd like to have some backup that their current implementation isn't up to spec.@joel @adamsdesk

@mike @adamsdesk @joel the Wikipedia page for QR has a diagram with the border labeled “Quiet Zone”. It looks like the ISO spec itself is behind a paywall.

@mike I was curious. I assumed it was a Rick roll, because that's what about 90% of all QR codes are used for. Tried two different apps to decode the PNG which failed to detect anything. Used a webpage to decode and saw the url wasn't immediately linking to YouTube, so was not immediately a Rick roll. It was still possible it would be an embedded video, but seemed less likely.
