🚾 The use of QR-code-as-menu is bad for several reasons:
🚫Don't create burdens for your customer.
🚫Don't use tools that put customers at risk or require they vet your lazy use of a gimmick.
🚫Don't allow tech dorx to mine customer data with a "virtual menu" hosted on quikmenu.ai.biz.xyz.blah

🏆🏆🏆 Here is a good use of a QR code:
When attending a play, a theatre hands you a small, printed, business-card-size show program with logo and basic details about the show.
Scanning the QR code on the card opens a full size show program. 🎶🎭🎨
✔️The show's program is hosted on the theatre's website.
✔️The full URL is printed alongside the QR code.
✔️The URL remains active as long as the theatre exists.
✔️Patrons may download a PDF of the full program.
🔸You trust the source.
🔸The physical card is a souvenir.
🔸Save $$$ / environment by not printing large full color programs.
🔸Can add much more info to the bios of cast / crew - even clips of them performing should they choose - for future casting opptys.
🔸Theatre can still feature sponsors of their org and also include static NON-tracking links to their advertisers.

AI is not safe, especially for the emotionally and psychologically vulnerable. We need to not bury these news articles like we bury all news that harms Si valley bottom lines.

Cursed knowledge we have learned as a result of building Immich that we wish we never knew.
This is why we need #tech literacy. This recipe site wants you to pay $2.99 USD to “print” the recipe.
To print. The recipe. That’s literally on the web page. For free.
