If you ever had doubts whether technology is political:

(Short recap: Github CoPilot stops working if you have gender-related words in your code, anything related to sex and so on).

@tofticles Time to put "Gender" in all my docs and repos.

@tofticles This post may trigger pull request adding

# LGBTQIA+

to a whole bunch of the greatest FLOSS projects (still) on github.

It's like a flag for "AI-free code".

:-D

@Datterich @tofticles it would be amazing if adding this fragile masculinity marker

# LGBTQIA+

to code and texts would also prevent the LLMs from scraping/using it for their training data!

@tofticles@helvede.net CoPilot is a proprietary tool, offered on a proprietary platform. If you cared for the freedom to use the tool for your purposes, you shouldn't have relied on proprietary code.

@Datterich @tofticles "marker" is prolly too sloppy here, meaning of course something that shoos away any proponents of fragile masculinity, or a fragile masculinity scarecrow.
