lmao i was going to post the same. maybe because i first heard it when i was younger and somehow couldn't form the tree analogy, so i short-circuited to that because "well it just contains a bunch of stuff like a trunk"

unix came from the phone company, so i've decided that "trunk" is because that's also what they call phone lines. or some sorts of phone lines. i'm not sure about the specifics, but they exist, i bet

a tree is actually a very good real-life analogy for a tree data structure. but computer scientists get the words all wrong, because they have never actually been outside to see a tree. we call the trunk the root, even though a real tree has many roots. also the tree is always depicted either upside down or sideways. but at least you can explain to a layman like "there is only one path from a leaf to the trunk, no sideways connections between branches" and they will visually understand

for real though, how do you localize l10n, etc.? if the state of things is "oh if you don't speak english then you just have to know that this particular set of letters and numbers refers to this specific english term which translates to XYZ concept" then that's funny and ironic and I hope you see that too.

just had a hell of a thought that's relevant to this

companies are going out of their way to rename internal stuff, right

well maybe we should change 'human resources' to something else since that is in fact an ongoing affront to dignity

that's been ongoing, i've seen a bunch of different terms. 'People Management' is one, 'Human Relations' is another that lets everyone still call it HR because force of habit dies hard.

hr could be set up like an accounting department with inbound/receivables [hiring, transfers, promotions] and outbound/payables [you getting fired, we need to cut a check to cover for our lovely ceo, etc.]. everything else people seem to think they do but actually don't [conflict resolution, helping if you have a personal problem, maintaining a non-hostile work environment] doesn't fit in this model and it will be clear to people if you're talking to hr what to expect

every company ive worked for that had the most functional HR had all those critical functions (hiring,firing,etc...) handled by finance. every other scenario is just massively wasteful in time and money because HR people are the most useless people on the earth.
