How about using the term Hakenkreuz or something similar to represent the anti-semitic meaning and stop appropriating the term Swastika?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
For the very obvious reason that the percentage of population aware of what the term Hakenkreuz means is literal orders of magnitude smaller than those familiar with the term Swastika?
I mean, feel free to run a "taking Swastika back" information campaign, but also, you know, good luck.
Article makes no mention of what 900+ million Hindus may feel about the whole thing. It's possible the author doesn't even know what the swastika is, or that he is willfully ignorant because "Indians and Asians live somewhere else".
Because you'd need to re-educate hundreds of millions of people, and it's a pretty weak message: "this symbol of hatred and genocide has other meanings, too!"
... and you'll be playing into the hands of people who want to get a swastika tattoo and then pretend they didn't mean any harm by doing so.
Yeah that sounds like a really sound rationale. It's only far more than a billion people to whom the symbol has a powerful and positive meaning. Let's completely ignore that and say that the 80 year old Western perspective is a lot more important.
I guess one could rack through many QR Code parameters while encoding the same payload text: Version (40 sizes with capacity constraints), 4 error correction levels (with capacity constraints), 8 mask patterns, splitting text into various blocks (with capacity constraints), using different character encoding modes (if applicable to the text), putting garbage data after the terminator (violates the spec, but can be a huge boost for generating some custom patterns).
I'm not sure I've ever noticed a swastika in a QR code before, but I guess better safe than sorry.
I bet we wont be able to stop seeing them after reading this.
Like the FedEx arrow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
If this exists then logically the inverse can be made …
Surprised Grok hasn't already incorporated an "ensure Swastikas are buried in any QR codes we generate" skill into the model...

I'd like to see one that stops accidental generation of strings like 'nakba'.
Right on! I generated one the other day that said 'Oct7'. I'll put it on a hat for you if you like.
Maybe his next repo can obscure blacks-with-their-pants-down memes.

It isn't hurting Hindus to run code that ensures a QR code doesn't include that sequence of squares.
The unilateral West-first perspective is a problem.
brilliant
Why not reclaim the original usage of the swastika instead of perpetuating the taint?
In Asian nations people who have never heard of the Nazis still use the swastika.
Do the version of "your parents using slang" to make it uncool

those people are far less numerous than you seem to believe. also, the current far right is not particularly fond of tattoos.
Now do swastika enforcer.

or just draw one and let error correction handle the rest
