You begin to run into issues with camera resolution and whatnot, but in theory those codes are likely more reliable.

minus-squareWaxedWookie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoYeah - that’d be my guess for an over-complicated code with minimal info.
minus-squareNoxy@yiffit.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoyeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason
