1) what is this doing on hackernews?

2) Vice filed for backruptcy in 2023 and shuttered vice.com in 2024. Who the hell is running this?

3) Whoever it is, is just ripping off rando Polish local news sites?

I have no idea what’s going on here, but maaaaaybe this should not be here.

"Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

I don't really get the entitlement that some folks have thinking their mere existence dictates what should and shouldn't appear on this website.

Not saying it’s not interesting, I’m saying there miiiiight be a malicious reason someone would buy an old domain, wear the skin of its former owner, post “viral” content, and then submit that content to a popular link aggregator.

And no one here seems to have noticed.

It seems like this is still the same Vice?

> In May, Vice Media announced it will create a joint venture with Savage Venture to relaunch its websites, such as Vice.com, Munchies, Motherboard, and Noisey.
