Idk what is going on with universities banning the kinds of stuff you can say, but I also dont know why anyone would listen to them anyway? I have a fake institute of pirate technology within UCLA and I use it as my institutional affiliation, with its own fake merch and unauthorized servers and every time IT comes by to take the server down I just say "no, we're not going to do that" and they go away. Im not sure how UCLA could possibly make me not do something, universities just dont have that kind of control over most of the researchers?

@jonny
Sounds like assumed (taken as true without proof, sic or teeth) “corporate ‘power over’ edict”.
Response - “make me!” And I’m not talking C/C++ either -😉?

@dahukanna right. when the university told us we had to fill in timesheets so they could know who was on strike, even though timesheets are not in our contract, i was like "so obviously i'm not going to do that" but most of my colleagues just complained about having to do it and did it anyway, sometimes even blaming it on the union. the idea of just not doing it didn't occur to them

@jonny
Wat. You don't have to tell the University you are on strike?!
