Indeed, this has already been done: http://ndjson.org/

To be fair it's not an objectionable format. Using line breaks to separate objects makes it streamable, and you don't need to enclose the whole thing in an array to make it a valid JSON document.

It was enabled by default in the standard desktop install (I didn't really customize anything I'm not a heavy user of desktop Linux). Of course I'll be disabling it next time I boot that partition. Point being Linux isn't immune to this type of annoyance.

Except literally today I wanted to do a quick reboot of Ubuntu and I was stuck staring at "unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, please don't turn off the computer" for 30 minutes with no warning nor any indication of how long it would take. That managed to be far more infuriating than windows ever has with all of its update shenanigans.

I get the sentiment but please don't make this a thing. You probably already understand that superresolution can only invent a plausible upscaling, no extra information is gained from the pixels - but the general public don't know this. I really think we should be cautious about normalising the use of such tools for conducting forensics on photos.

Agreed, the slowness is especially painful on mobile, which is the exact opposite of what you need from a note taking tool. I use other tools on mobile and copy to notion later which is exactly as convenient as it sounds.

I do agree with the thrust of the article too, although I don't find any one UX issue (beyond slowness) a deal-breaker, but together they're collectively a pretty frustrating experience.

Downside with pictures in text boxes - you can't put footnotes in text boxes so if you need to cite pictures with any of the referencing styles that use footnotes that makes it a no go. It's an awkward and arbitrary limitation that ruins Word for a surprisingly common use case
