Is "fake news" April Fools allowed?

Is “fake news” April Fools allowed? I mean the Onion News type of “fake news” and not the CNN type, like “Intercity bus transport company announces that they will buy regional jets”

Edit: I mean the non-political and harmless type

Yes, as it's evidently expected on that day for there to be April Fools jokes. You could say something like “April fools!” at the end of the project, or inside the project code.

Make sure it says it's for April fools. It's should be ok if you actually tell them it's for April fools at the end.

Ask yourself, if you were hacked and lost hours, upon hours of work, would you regret not having a strong password that only takes 5 minutes to make?

Is it time to update your password? Here are some tips to make a strong password:

Length: The longer the password, the stronger it is. A password that is at least 12 characters long.
Complexity: Combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make it harder to crack.
Uniqueness: Don't use easily guessable information like your name, address, or date of birth. Also, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Passphrases: A phrase made up of random words, numbers, and symbols, as these can be easier to remember but still secure.
Randomness: Use a random password generator to create a unique and unpredictable password.
Regular updates: Regularly change your passwords to stay ahead of potential security threats.

Remember, the goal is to create a password that is strong, unique, and difficult for others to guess.

I would estimate more than 40% of scratchers have passwords that are hard to guess by a human, but easy to guess by a computer. You never know if today would be the day you lose everything.

Even if just one person was saved from losing hours and hours of work, my mission is accomplished.

Also make sure it is actually during April fools. You can't just use April fools as an excuse all year round.
You probably already know this though :P
