@pup_hime apparently droid would be the more used term but apparently george lucas (yes that george lucas) managed to successfully sue for rights to that word, even after it was used originally by Frank Herbert in his story, Dune.

That's right.

Despite prior use, lucas sued, AND WON, the right to use the term, stealing it from a writer who used the term before him.

Even Google stepped back from calling their OS "Droid" because of that lawsuit :/

@Kaffe@glaceon.social samesame. Also like if glass breaks you can still make cool stuff outta it, melt it down, or grind off bits to make nice smooth fragments that are safe to handle and can be decorated, or glue it back together with metal or even just glue or whatever and it'll still look cool.
