Fast forward to 2022. I feel the problem has been inverted. It is no longer about losing information by lack of or ignoring a warning, today it is about creating information where none should be created. Example 1: In better times, dialogs would store the information on ok and discard any changes on cancel. Modern implementations store on change (especially modern web guis). People close dialog windows through the window close button, with no distinction whether this is ok or cancel. Example 2: Auto-save. Some office document opens in the browser. One wrong swipe with the pointing device, swoosh, change created and logged in the eternal history. No warning "do you want to modify this document?", and no way to turn back. Bring back an environment where it is possible to lose something, which means one where it is possible to not modify something unintentionally.
