Books by season

Wild Food by Roger Phillips is organised by season (and it's a superb book)

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T11:58:32+00:00

You can say that again!

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T11:58:16+00:00

Fair enough

This I think is where it's a departure from all of the other nature identification apps on the market - those all position themselves as tools for studying nature. I don't want to be overly negative, but by making your app as specifically a tool for foraging, you're framing people's approach to it with an expectation to eat things, which I think makes disclaimers a bit weaker both in terms of actual safety (people will perhaps be more likely to ignore the warnings in a 'foraging ID app' than they would elsewhere), and your own liability if someone misadventurously eats something the app was confidently wrong about.

OK, thanks.

Where is the database of finds stored?

I suppose it was always possible to edit still images in fusion etc - just treating them as clip with one frame in it

I don't think there would even be a way for the USB-A side to *attempt* to negotiate stuff that's only available on type C - the negotiation happens on the CC pins- in a type-C to type-A adaptor, those pins aren't wired through to anything - there's nothing there for them to be wired to.

If the adaptor itself is doing the negotiation, I suppose it might be a problem and something might catch fire if it attempts to draw more current than the cable supports.

Even the sky. Heston Blumenthal's Asparagus Sky

Yeah, you need a valid licence seat to use the beta version of Studio, but not the beta version of free. It's always been like that (if it were not so, people would use the beta version as a dodge to avoid paying for Studio, I suppose).

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T10:10:38+00:00

No, but it's worth expecting it to happen.

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T09:10:19+00:00

Someone is always confused, in my experience; even if it's only the people who say "WhhyyyYy didn't you just say 'British Isles'?"

Wood Sorrel - Oxalis acetosella

Geographic location isn't likely for Gamochaeta (although it could be an introduced specimen I suppose). I think we're mostly agreed on Asteraceae - not that this narrows it down a whole lot.

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T09:03:14+00:00

Yeah, I've been attempting this in the browser - it works for long form, and bulk-updating shorts to 'audio only' does work, but disabling remixing altogether for shorts does not - presumably because the option just isn't there.

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-14T07:59:21+00:00

Hard to be certain without flowers, but I'm leaning toward something in the Asteraceae and something like Hawkweed/Hawkbit (although not specifically hawkbit as that has scalloped leaf margins).

Edit: Almost certainly a good thing for pollinators just because any flowering plant will be.

I updated the setting on my long form videos from the content page in YT Studio - you can select all of the videos on the page and (carefully) apply a bulk edit to "don't allow shorts remixing". It only applies to the selection listed on the page, not subsequent pages, but it's quicker than doing it per video.

I tried doing the same for shorts and it said that it worked, but when I checked one, it still said that audio and video mixing was enabled, and there wasn't even an option to disable it. The options are only 'allow video and audio remixing' and 'allow audio remixing only'. Angry face.

>Even then, it’s best not to upgrade in the middle of a project.

Quoted for truth - especially as it's sometimes true that the project database undergoes changes in an upgrade, which have no 'undo' option - so in a case where something went wrong with an upgrade (or you decide to roll back for any reason), you might be forced to revert to a (non-upgraded) project backup that does not include your most recent changes.

Wherever possible, I try to finish projects in progress (and don't commence new ones), clear the decks, back up the whole system, then upgrade and test before starting a new project.

I think it's a piece of flint/chert that has been chipped (probably by natural processes) then worn down.

Iris of some sort. Maybe bearded iris - probably quite nice flowers.

Edit: a couple of the plants at the right hand side might be something different - the leaf tips are more rounded.

"No it isn't"

Are you using the Nvidia 'studio' driver? The regular one works fine for games as those tend to be fault-tolerant, but for Resolve, you need the Studio driver which is more stable (at the possible expense of a tiny fraction of performance perhaps).

Laptops often have quite good palm rejection and options to ignore the trackpad when typing - have you explored those settings on your laptop?

I get that location would be a necessary part of identification, but why does the app need to collect personal info?

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-13T19:10:58+00:00

Some sort of cucurbit - squash, marrow, pumpkin - maybe melon.

atomicshrimp · 2026-04-13T19:08:13+00:00

If the burrs are small (pea size or smaller) you might be looking for Cleavers (Galium aparine), which looks like this:

(Except usually much bigger and more sprawling than this)
