i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
You want me to scan a QR code to log onto your fuckin’ website?!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to get the reference. Its a pretty old episode.
