    Republicans blush at the amount of bans and cancellations of culture Russia is pushing out. The way Putin is dictating their citizens on how to live and what to say is the wet dream of the republican party.

      The self same Republicans you leftists accuse of being selfishly in dependant? You really need to get your insults and accusations straight there, mate.

      Like how the Biden administration destroyed 40% of black owned businesses a couple years ago, using blatantly anti-scientific arguments.

      The fascists in the US today are the democrats and the liberals who changed their shout from “fight the government” to “use the government to get our way”, you know, the very definition of fascism.

    The most hilarious thing I read about was the Navalny city service line…

    If you needed snow cleared or a pothole repair, spray paint “Навальный” on it, make sure someone notices and posts to social media and your issue will be resolved before you could say “СССР”.

      Most Barcode scanners included in Android and iOS can’t read them though. I know at least for Data Matrix, only a few scanners can handle them.

          I use Binary Eye now, no ads, free and open source. It is built on zxing. I was a bit pissed when zxing scanner stopped working a few years ago. All the alternatives where ad infested crap back then.

            Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah I can’t stand the ad infested barcode readers now. I’ve actually considered buying a dedicated Bluetooth barcode reader.

    “QR codes that serve as an online link contain various information and are prone to changes, which can violate the federal Law on Advertising,” writes Ivan Shubin, head of the city administration’s media department, adding: “especially considering increased hacker attacks and website breaches.”

    So, are they banning all urls in billboards?

    It will be stickers with QR codes next, followed by QR codes in general.
