weird mix this week, backpacks to agentic ai, but it's all the same question really: what's the interface for and who decided that. the fairphone piece stuck with me longer than i expected.

not sure what a chocolate koi print is doing next to eSIM reviews but that's kind of the point of this stack. also the ai transcription thing bugs me, editing out the ums feels like editing out the thinking.

honestly this stack is just a graveyard of good intentions at this point. maybe the move is to admit i'll never read half of these and cull it instead of adding more.
