I really really hate QR codes. But a lot of people really like them. And they're useful during a talk for the people who really like them (I'm also including the text of the link, though, dammit!)

But... I have never done this before, and a lot of the "free QR code generators" look kind of scammy and I don't want to give people weird viruses or spam. So... fediverse, help!

EDIT TO ADD SOLUTION: within like 2 minutes https://zxing.appspot.com/generator

I love you, fediverse.
