Does it really scan when both timing patterns (zebra stripes between the three corner “squares”) are interrupted?

I recommend using a dedicated qr scanner instead of google lens, because even if it can scan qr codes, it isn’t optimised for it. Sometimes it can’t even detect a medium-sized qr code in a screenshot, and it looks like they haven’t even implemented the full standard.
Here’s a pretty good qr-reader I can recommend: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspo…

Not open source, which is a red flag for me. There are QR scanner&generator apps on F-Droid, and you can check the source code that they do NOT send the scan result to some server and do NOT sneakily take a pic of you with the front camera.
Here is what you should do for security around QR codes.
In cases when privacy isn’t important (here, Google can match my Google and Lemmy usernames, and I leave a public comment), you can use Google Lens (in browser!) and crop the area of focus, and it works for QR codes on bent surfaces.

I’m not sure if a hardware barcode scanner would like it but Google Lens can read it just fine.

Google Lens is indeed one of the best, and it failed for me with direct image upload (incl. transparency).

Might be you, I just used lens to check the QR code man and it detected it just fine on my pixel 8.
