Forgiveness but while you're here can you look into why the Notion connector in chat doesn't have the capability to write pages but the MCP (which I use via Codex) can? it looks like it's entirely possible, just mostly a missing action in the connector.

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

You believe correctly, and thanks so much!

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

Maybe you're right. I'm curious as to what situations would make it advantageous, though.

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

Entirely true, though Linus Sebastian would probably disagree. In terms of receiving content without paying the tithe of attention/money/time, though, one could consider it a form of """piracy"""

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

I hear about instances like this a lot. Did a broken request just resolve to the contents of the file that created it, or did it just spit itself out in your browser console?

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

Netflix is an easy example.

In a ways, definitely yes. But I was speaking more in terms of modifying frontends to convince providers' backends to grant stuff straight from the source, not reuploaded to a mirror.

WoW server patches and pirated backends I would count since you're getting pirated content on a mostly official frontend.

Though the argument is somewhat flimsy. Can't say I've played many games with reverse-engineered servers.

seejayseesjayson You wouldn't download a back end

I realize postwrite that there must be some exploits to some client-side frontends that enables fully-featured capabilities, and that in a lot of cases it would probably take significant effort to lock such features down from the server.

But really, where would that be in the world?
