I tried three different qr code scanning apps and couldn't scan any of those codes :(

Best not to scan random QR codes, in general.

You can scan its content without getting thrown into trouble, I use an app like SecScanQR which returns the raw content of the QR code, that helps to assess if you're getting into fishy stuff.

If your app automatically opens the link, yes.

Not all do that though.

You shouldn't open the URL, but you can scan it to see if a url is recognized

I got it to scan using another phone. Local apps couldn't scan it

I got three from that page to scan, but only the more obvious ones. This is a prettier one that still scanned, though even that took a few tries.

This one works for me.

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Which app did you use? I cannot scan it.
