@cstross Sounds like the sort of thing that Adversarial Fashion would do/be interested in:

There's an older discussion on the topic here in my and @catsalad's timeline, not only with the EICAR, but also with a nice SQL bomb (remember Bobby Tables?
). Please feel free to make a shirt out of it.On German ambulances are QR codes leading to pages informing about why it's bad to film victims and rescuers. A good idea. Makes filming impossible if your camera app opens QR codes right away without user consent...

@cstross Put me on the wait list. I'm in.

@cstross I feel sorry for the photographer covering the protest for the school newspaper over at the community college

@Datterich @neurovagrant @cstross @unknownbinaries @catsalad Which camera opens QR codes right away?! Well, to be fair I have to use a FOSS QR scanner because the camera app from my phone doesn't scan those at all, but I never saw any phone that opens QR codes right away ever.

@cstross damn, it's even more creative than my fantasies about brain implant generating white noise to interrupt others' phones cloud connectivity

@cstross It's already happened to me several times! Need one of these!

@cstross It's ironic that an idea from an earlier, more innocent era has caught on now that no sane person would blindly go to an obscured URL.
@werebooks @cstross And current dominant business model in web is to successfully manipulate people to click things they normally wouldn't want to... I hate this cursed timeline so much...

@neurovagrant @cstross @unknownbinaries what happens, when scanned?

@neurovagrant @cstross @unknownbinaries
We need stickers!What do I say - posters, billboard-sized!
Imagine one of the G00gle cars drive by, scanning for Street View, wifis, and... Gemini?
PS: Thanks, @catsalad, for looking up the old thread. I'm not good at that... How are you so organized?

@cstross people think I am paranoid for not wanting to scan a QR code out in public, ever. gas stations, restaurants, whatever. how easy it is for someone with bad intentions to just place a sticker over the good one. I'll pass.

@Datterich @neurovagrant @cstross @unknownbinaries Everything I favorite becomes searchable in my fulltext search, so I use search quite often.

@cstross "What Happened at Cambridge IV" by David Langford is one of my favourite short stories ever (and I've got it in an anthology with Terry Pratchett's "ifdefDEBUG + ‘world/enough’ + ‘time’", which is another absolute belter).

@cstross Totally GENIUS!

@cstross I had a whole-ass sci-fi novel idea sketched out around this concept once (but then I think I figured out somebody actually wrote it? Gibson?)

@peachfront @cstross make a collection out of it.

@cstross the EICAR code as barcode or qrcode used to break a lot of automatized systems.
