I stumbled upon GiroCode that can prefill the transaction form of your bank app. The code is scanned from the bank app (in my case the Berlin bank DKB). That worked like a charm so I looked it up.

Specification:

Example QR code:

BCD
001

AI image generation with Stable Diffusion is fairly easy using the UI application which does basically everything for you.

Download, extract, ``start.sh``, enjoy.

Google offers a PPA.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'

Instead of making icons or adding heavy iconsets to an application I go with UTF-8 emoticons first.
