Made me do a double take. The way the world is right now, it wouldn't be the most shocking thing.

Good April's Fool joke!
Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!
On this day, as well as in the 28th of December, when we celebrate the Spanish equivalent, I don, t believe anybody or anything!!!
I was only saved from eating the onion because I was updating a spreadsheet and had to enter the date about 15 minutes before I saw the headline.
April Fools was a week ago; why the hell is this post still on the front page?
this article has apparently caused AMD +3.61% ▲ and Intel INTC +8.84% ▲
God I fucking hate April fools Day.
We're fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it's just another jolt of alarm that my system can't keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.
It's great being in a time zone where it's already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you've made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here's another day of it except ramped up to 11.
April's fools Day is every day.
Them expressing a personal dislike of something is not the same as trying to stop others from enjoying it
people are upset because april fools is full of bullshit lies
Unlike every other day where the Internet is the bastion of truth and reality.
Have people always had his opinion? I swear I've never seen pushback for April Fools joke articles in the past. Hell, they were anticipated because of fun ones like Blizzard.
Just the "kicked off of every other platform" crybabies that have settled on Lemmy doing what they do
Anything you can think of, there's probably a whole group of people who hate it.
You probably stay away from people like that in your real life, but through the magic of the Internet they get to sit in your living room and yell at you to stop having fun.
If you find yourself falling for these kinds of jokes then you may need to reconsider how you evaluate news.
Back in the Slashdot days, where they let this shit run wild, I hated this day every year.
But ponies!
ZOMG PONIES11!!11
I miss those days. When people don’t have as big of a stick up their ass about one day a year of fun.
No, fuck you!
Like someone else said, I’m glad lying on the internet is only limited to one day… wait…..
Dumbass.
I read this from the start with the mind that it's probably an April fool's joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It's just a long article that could be true but isn't. Stupid and a waste of time.
Well, it closes with:
At press time, the companies said the deal was expected to close shortly after the industry finished checking the calendar.
I agree, but it's still better than the "pranks" that hugely wink at you and think they're clever, but they're obviously some marketing team trying to come up with ideas that aren't offensive..... yeah, I said it, this dreck is better than that dreck. heh.
I'm annoyed because I only saw it on my feed today. Luckily I was about 2 sentences in before I checked the date.
Next up: Boeing Buys Airbus 🤣
RISC-V buys NVIDIA
Pepsi buys Coca-Cola
If, it would be the other way around.
lol. Nice April Fools post. I think the cruelest tech related Aprils fools post I’ve seen claimed that Apple was open sourcing their x86 MacOS versions. Creating a Mac binary compatible BSD distro. That really hurt. I love OSx/2010s MacOS. Nothing on Linux or BSD side comes close. I am really holding out hope for RayvnOS.
I fucking hate April Fools
Wouldn't the SEC look upon jokes like this poorly?
SEC? In this day and age? Yeah.. right..
They would if AMD actually announced something like this.
This is entirely a Techspot joke, there is no AMD press release: https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-release-search.html
