borgbackup has great versioning, deduplication and compression

You left out two important real world aspects from your thought experiment.

1. one person cares about a specific aspect of the messenger - privacy - and the other doesn't care, they are just on whatever their peers told them to be on. So if their messenger happens to have the aspect I care about I'll do it. Since they don't have any such criteria I expect them to do it as well.

2. If that person is important enough for me and doesn't budge I'll call or E-Mail them. Which is less private than an e2ee messenger, but more private than data harvesting companies.

I just told everybody that I only reply on Threema and don't use anything else.

My thought process was - if they can't be arsed to use another app (which is an extremely effortless task to do) then they are probably not worth staying in contact with.

The 3 people that were most important in my life at that point got the app immediately.

After over a decade with threema I now have over 40 contacts there, mostly friends, some colleagues, multiple hobby centric groups etc.

I guess just start and don't compromise and be patient

Doing it the way a person would requires the file manager to understand context, which requires a lot more logic for arguably little benefit.

I'm so glad KDE Dolphin has a "natutal sorting" option. Not sure about this specific case, but I have never been surprised by the order with that setting.

Would be interesting to check the code behind it.

Not even Microsoft has a Windows distro without a terminal.

Mindustry and Veloren are also pretty big and fun games!

The problem with Levenstein distancein in this context is that it does not consider phonetics.

Sometimes differently written words rhyme perfectly and other times identically written words have multiple meanings and distinct pronounciations that do not rhyme.

afaik Bayern rolled back to Windows after some Microsoft "lobbying"

Just pen and a huge sheet of paper, or multiples taped together.

Or pinenote, but I find the size somewhat limiting.

I prefer if if you can see everything at a glance like

But to actually answer your question: try rnote

afaik Linus is against GPLv3 in his Linux project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU

Why? I rather just install it like any other application, which works on a different distro without any issues.
