Everyone asks what is rm but nobody asks how is rm.

Use trash-put and trash-cli.

…and this is the reason I added this to my root .bashrc:
export PS1="\h:\$(realpath .)\$ " no more following symlinks on a remote mount and forgetting about it.

At a previous job I remember a PR to do essentially

temp=$(mktemp -d) mv $target $temp rm -r $temp &

I thought it was pretty clever. Obviously you would need to make sure mktemp is on the same filesystem (there are good flags to just use a dot file in the current directory). mv is atomic on most filesystems and then the & just runs the rm in the background .
