qr code is the squares code that, if used with a qr code scanner redirects me automatically to a website or to download a pkpass file, right?
after downloading said pkpass file to my android, any wallet application like fosswallet should recognize it and add it to the local library (on my android device), right?
what other formats do transportation authorities use?
To those residing in Germany, is pkpass use widespread there? What are common formats used there?

Comcast gets a special place in hell.
Once I tried to get their service installed at a new apartment. They sent out the same tech 3x over 2 months. He wasn't qualified to run "a new wire to the pole. So 3 wasted visits.
They tried to charge me for 2 months of service and 3 tech visits while I still couldn't get online.
Retarded cunts.
@dsm @foxcat @verita84 @mint Im just stunned at how little their people know. I asked the guy about port forwading or something and he just gave me this blank stare.
They have a walk in store here and it's worse than the damn cell phone store. Kind of thing where you stand around like an idiot until someone comes by with an ipad and then leaves you standing around for another 45 fucking minutes.
@mint @munir @dsm @foxcat @verita84 The garbage I have doesn't even have a normal login page. Instead it does some weird rendition of 6 digit codes generated by the ISPs servers from the dumb mobile app. (Everything has to be "smart" these days.) It doesn't even seem to host some alternative page on another port or page.
Genuinely infuriating considering that the previous ISP didn't care about anything as long as the MAC address on the interface stayed the same. But than 2 acquisitions happened.
Shakira & Ozuna - Monotonía (Official Video)
Directed by Jaume de la Iguana and Shakira
Lyrics:
2X
No fue culpa tuya
ni tampoco mía
fue culpa de la monotonía
nunca dije nada pero me dolía
yo sabía que esto pasaría
Tu en lo tuyo y haciendo lo mismo
siempre buscando protagonismo
te olvidaste de lo que un dia fuimos
y lo peor es que
No fue culpa tuya
ni tampoco mía
fue culpa de la monotonía
nunca dije nada pero me dolía
yo sabía que esto pasaría
De repente no eras el mismo
me dejaste por tu narcisismo
te olvidaste de lo que un día fuimos
Tu distante con tu actitud
y eso me llenaba de inquietud
tú no daba ni la mitad
pero sí sé que di más que tú
estaba corriendo por alguien
que por mí ni estaba caminando
Este amor no muerto pero esta delirando
ya de lo que había ya no hay na
te lo digo con sinceridad
tu estas frío como en Navidad
es mejor que esto se acabe ya
no me repita la movie otra vez que esa ya la vi
Bebe yo te quiero pero es que yo me quiero más a mí
es un adios necesario
lo que un día fue increíble se volvió rutinario
no me saben a nada tus labios
ahora es todo lo contrario
y lo peor es que
No fue culpa tuya
ni tampoco mía
fue culpa de la monotonía
nunca dije nada pero me dolía
yo sabía que esto pasaría
Tu en lo tuyo y haciendo lo mismo
siempre buscando protagonismo
te olvidaste de lo que un día fuimos (ambos)
eh eh eh (ambos)

I finally watched The Godfather III, or as it's called now, "The Godfather: Coda: "The Death of Michael Corleone"".
It wasn't as bad as I had been led to believe. Looked pretty, relatively easy-to-follow plot (one reason it got negative reviews, as Godfather fans prefer the subtlety of the first two), lush costumes and sets. Sofia Coppola was cringey as Mary, but I learned she didn't even want the part or to be an actress, and only did it because Wynona Ryder dropped out the day filming started and her dad needed a replacement pronto. Dad (Francis Ford) was also declaring bankruptcy during shooting, so needed the money. You know, everyone pulled together for The Family, the Coppola family, even if it hollowed out their souls.
So now I've seen all 3 and don't have to watch any more, and can go back to reading a new translation of The Book of Job instead. Hooray!

"We have to say the truth, returning the hostages is not the most important thing."
Israeli Finance Minster Bezalel Smotrich said in an interview with Galey Israel radio on Monday that the release of captives in Gaza was "not the most important thing" for the goverment, provoking an angry backlash from members of the Israeli public, including families of captives in Gaza, who have hit back at the minister's comments.
Smotrich also said that the "Gaza problem" must be eliminated, citing a "tremendous opportunity". Smotrich believes that there are no longer any obstacles to fulfilling a hardline Israeli policy on Gaza after the end of former US President Joe Biden's tenure at the White House and the political demise of rivals, like former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and former Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi.

A QR code is just a 2D barcode that can be used to hold a certain amount of alphanumeric data (and amount is limited by size).
While pkpass is an Apple format used in its wallet app to store data.

in reply to TimLovesTech (AuDHD)(he/him) • • •Aren't all barcodes 2D?
EDIT No wait, they're basically 1D aren't they? Nevermind!
HumanPenguin
in reply to queermunist she/her • • •Exactly. No matter the y dimension. Barcode data is only stored in x. Whereas QR uses x and y for data.
They also use the corner squares and a few specific dots to allow scanning from greater angles. Basically allowing the data to be read in 3d space. Even though only 2d is used to store that data.
This is why QR can work well with cameras. Whereas bar codes are designed for very short range laser reflection.
PS lots of info on QR online including open source programs to make your own.
The same goes for bar codes. But readers involve some very simple maker skills. Making simple barcode readers was a common school science project in the early 90s.
TimLovesTech (AuDHD)(he/him)
in reply to queermunist she/her • • •Your generic "barcode" for something like a UPC is considered a 1D barcode and uses things like the spacing of the lines and thickness to encode data. Although some 1D barcodes can detect the barcode is damaged they cannot do error recovery.
Your 2D barcodes, like QR or Data Matrix, store data in both directions and depending on format can have varying levels of error correction (duplicate data) built into the barcode. They also obviously can take up less room and hold the same or more data as well. You do need a scanner that can do 2D barcodes though, as not all scanners will read them.
