I think it might be, there’s no way Anakin would be able to buy proprietary hardware or software. So either he stole it, which his mother probably would not have allowed. Or he was able to scrap all the parts together because there is a template for humanoid protocol droids that we have also seen round Star Wars. And then the software itself either Anakin programed entirely himself, (which I know he’s very smart, but even that seems a stretch) or he forked it. So it would make more sense that there was an open source catalog of protocol droid software. It also would make more sense due to the fact that a lot of people have droids, but they are not all created equal. I would think many of the droids on Coruscant were proprietary, while many of the droids in the outer rim are open source.

    This is the loveliest conversation I have seen all week. I have been incredibly burned out with Reddit of late, so this is refreshing.

      Lemmy now is what Reddit used to be like in the early days. I hope the enshittification stays away!

        It can’t really enshittify, in the original sense of the word, since nobody controls it. It probably will follow the Reddit trajectory, up until the point when the admins started to be evil, though.
