"textContent": "> I hate encountering QR codes in real life… I've already been in situations in real life where I couldn't participate in a poll or survey, or attend an event because I couldn't make a QR code work for me (sometimes I can after struggling with it for 15 minutes or in some instances even pulling out my laptop to scan it…\n\nI talked a bit about my recent QR experiences at an anime convention in another thread. In summary, I never suffered for it, since people were willing to listen. They were also willing to listen when I explained that, because I am autistic, I was not comfortable with letting them stamp ink onto my hand, so they gave me a card to carry to show I was permitted to enter. Kind people make the difference.\n\n\n> I…don't do the stupid trick of snapping a picture of the whiteboard with my smartphone while a teacher is teaching rather than taking traditional notes. I had one teacher get mad that I couldn't just snap a quick photo of the board and wanted to take notes by hand. When she saw my phone, she just told me I had to have a classmate e-mail me the notes, as if I had come to class unprepared or something and she was pissed she had to accommodate me not having a good quality smartphone camera. She pretty much only grudgingly accommodated me with that solution after I pointed out that she didn't mention in the syllabus that we have to use a smartphone, let alone one with a good quality front-facing camera.\n\nThat stupid trick misses the whole point of taking notes.\nNowhere in my university career has anybody supposed that all students possess a smartphone, although at one point, I remember needing to explain to a teacher that I was too socially isolated to know any of my classmates, and therefore could not rely on any of them to send me email about assignments.\n\n* * *",
