On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.
The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.
Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.
my photos app doesn't do that for some reason, when i use lens it just recognizes the qr and searches for qr code images. it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
edit: after your comment i also tried launching the lens app directly (rather than using lens from photos) and pick the image rather than using a camera, and that works. so google has two versions of lens on my phone that act differently. brilliant.
as i said elsewhere i tried lens on the photos app and it doesn't work. but when i launched the lens app and then picked the image it did. Google is dumb as always
what's the qr code for?
You should scan it and find out then tell us about it.
— me, an actual coward
I'm on the phone already, if you know of a simple way to scan qr that you can see on your phone please tell me because this really annoys me

Barcode Scanner (F-Droid) is another app that will decode a QR code from an image.
SimpleQR can read qr codes from images, so you can take a screenshot and read it. The app is available on fdroid.
thanks for the recommendation
Glad to be helpful
Fool me once, shame on me! Fool me twice....
On my Pixel I long press at the bottom and then press on the code. I think it's called google lens or something.

A propaganda movie promotion by vegans.
There's also something that looks like pink Morse code, near the top
That's a really clever login system.
For me it opens for like 2-3 seconds and then goes to blank white screen no matter what browser or device I use.
a blank canvas?
No a completely white screen with absolutely nothing on it
You're definitely facing a bug. I couldn't miss that sarcastic opportunity
I'm not the only one unfortunately
did you find any solution for this?
Unfortunately no
I get a 500 server error straight away
I'm thinking it can be a region issue
I'm just getting 502 bad gateway when I try to log in, I'll try again later I guess.
Edit, looks like it's working now
Is anyone interested in building the open source initiative logo (just like last year), a Linux tux, maybe the Debian spiral or something like that?
