Smartphone from employer doesnt permit sideloading. ;)

project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips

I do have the same overall concerns though and for me enough reason to switch the moment its possible also. But I tend to see the ‘the holiday trips’ as a symtpom instead of a problem. Later on they explained that some developers received 3 months salary worth of pay over the course of 4 years. Putting a lot more time in it during those four years. If I contributed that much for free I also would spend it on a holiday. But the problem is like you said transparancy:

• No openness of financial transactions which I guess showing salary wouldnt be a problem and if everybody was able to see the salary was reasonable. (and I dont care what people do with it in their private live).
• Maybe they didnt organise it that way (paying oneself for labour and tell everyone) but maybe they used it directly for holidays etc, which is a problem for the business entity they have I guess. Like my boss paying my holiday instead of my salary.
• Reluctant to answer questions in reasonable timeframes (couple of months)

OM and for now CoMaps are faster and easier to learn. For most people. With OSMand configurations are endless and people tend to get lost in them. Also the map data of OM is highly filtered OSM data. Meaning smaller files and a faster app.

The downside is less features, but as always … if you dont need the absent features … its a plus.

Now whats interesting how they both will keep it that way. My theory is when they listen to EVERY wish from random users (with other persona and user stories) they eventually become like OSMand too.

That … makes a lot of sense, thanks 🙏🙏

Oh never thought about using ls to “test” things, thnx!

Yeah agree, its a work provided laptop, they allowed local admin etc but require Windows (at least that is) so just glad they gave me a HP laptop with 500GB SSD and for me certain freedom to configure dual boot etc

Got chills down my spine initially but was a “good” scare … the one which makes me carefull next time before any real damage is done. 🙈👍

Strange thing is, instead of moving folders (which isnt possible without root anyway) it looked like some of them got copied instead. Compared some folders from /boot/grub with the dump in my homefolder and they were the same files (number and names etc).

I took a deep breath (was not being root, how bad could it be?) and rebooted. Luckily everything seemed fine.

Grub letting me choose between Debian and Win11 (its a laptop from my employer) and both booted if choosen. Thanks for all the advice.

If the actual command was this … mv /*/*/* ./ would moving stuff out of /boot or /dev folders make more sense?

Ah, keen eye, corrected the title and body text to match the screenshot. (From terminal history so I think thats what I actually ran)

Oh that worked, thnx!!

I only have a backup of my own personal files, not of the whole system. So my question about impact is about not having to do a fresh install.

Also I have dual boot and grub etc do scare me. 😁

I didnt work as root by the way …

Ouch … feel so stupid.

Ah, I was no root … that should lower the impact …

Yeah, I see, command wildcard asterix being markdown bold. Original command:
