That could be a great learning experience. If it's an important document not only do I save regularily, I also create copies of the file at regular intervals.

Jesus never loses any data.
Because Jesus saves.
I guess it's about what one's used to. I'd be pretty annoyed if it started overwriting my documents when I when I do not explicitly tell it to do that.
I copy something from the document, maybe hit cut instead of copy. Now it's gone from the original.
I'm not sure what you mean by overwriting. With something like Office365 or Google Docs, it saves each time you type or delete a character. I don't see any reason why that couldn't be the same with FOSS software.
Overwrinting as saving the (unwanted) changes over the file.
I know the workflow on these collaborative online tools is like that. I also don't see a reason why an offline tool can't be like that, but I think turning it on by default would cause more bad surprises for people who don't expect it to do things unannounced and without asking.
I guess this is something the program could ask on initial startup and make the editor UI very clear on what the state is.
Learning how to properly save and backup is the more important lesson anyway.
This is why I rather use something like Google docs, even though I’m not a fan of Google, it saves automatically and has a version history I can revert to.
I love that there are still kids learning this hard lesson in the year 2024.
You lost it because you didn't save. You are a parent, it's time to take responsibility for your mistakes. Don't blame LO as if you were 13 y/o.
From my original post:
it was basically my fault
From your original title:
because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically
Yes? And it was my fault for not saving because of that.
I'm not sure why you saw me explicitly saying it's my fault and are trying to tell me that's not what I said, but it's not a very good form of gaslighting.
Lol, you wrote in the title that you blame LibreOffice. I wrote that you shouldn't blame LibreOffice. Now you're blaming me for gaslighting. I can't believe I'm talking to an adult.
Insulting me will not change the fact that I admitted it was my fault no matter how hard you try to convince me I didn't.
Man, I couldn't care less about you. I read the title where you blamed LO, and I left the comment That's it. Stop bitching over nothing.
If you don't care about me, maybe don't keep insisting I didn't say something I very clearly said. I'm not forcing you to continue to insist it.

Bad UX design is pretty ingrained in many FOSS projects unfortunately.
Never rely on autosaves for anything, ever.
Even if its on by default, first thing you should do when installing or first using it is adjust the settings imo. How often is still a matter of personal choice. And other settings are as well. Granted, I get I'm probably far from the average given how much I like to tinker with settings and customizing toolbars, etc. Still agree it should be on by default along with some basic version history to undo unwanted autosaves.
Or have a VCS by default.
No Backup no pity
