Worker cooperatives (and often cooperatives in general) are an example of this. They almost always exist within a capitalist system, so are not able to completely separate themselves from all aspects of capitalism, but they are definitely examples of common ownership of means of production.
Specifically you can look up the Mondragon Corporation which is probably the biggest/best known example of a workers cooperative but there are many others. There are lots of variations on this same concept - one where risk, rewards, and decision-making are shared more equitably among everybody participating. I think the most interesting are food co-ops (and sometimes CSAs), utility cooperatives, and housing cooperatives. These are all over the place and are often quietly successful examples of common ownership.

I've always been more into competitive games, like FPS and MOBA. But now, I'm starting to like more story-focused games that will add something to my life, or just awesome games that everyone should play at some time....
I cant believe nobody has recommended any of the Fallout games. New Vegas is much loved and I really enjoyed Fallout 3 as well. I havent played either of the new ones, but I think especially 4 was well received.
Lemmy actually has this feature already. Accounts can mark themselves as a bot and also whether they see bot accounts. Because of that, I can't imagine it would be a lot of work to implement on kbin.
We’re a very small team with little experience in hiring but got approval for a new engineer. Basically HR will look for people through the usual channels and I think we have a reasonably good job description. Unfortunately the coding challenge (a 30h+ take home) is atrociously difficult and doesn’t really reflect what we...
I was in pretty much the same position last year and had to do this. What I did ended up working well for us. For context, we build a somewhat complex web app and we were interviewing for a mid-level developer. Our product isn't really anything special, pretty much a CRUD app with some more interesting/complex bits glued on.
Basically I took a recent ticket out of our system and abstracted it out to something generic. My intention was to expose the candidate to what our tickets might be like - including some uncertainty. I was only shooting for a quick ~1 hour task, so nothing too in-depth and I was going to be in the zoom call with them to answer the questions that I expected them to have. I wanted something more collaborative than adversarial so I had them share their IDE window with me. Basically a short pair-programming session.
I chose a ticket that was small and dealt with a system we use extensively in our product so I got to see whether they were able to grasp some of the core concepts we use in our product. I also deliberately left out some vital information that they would need to realize they needed and ask for. I wanted to see them think through the problem and see the missing piece. It was really a pretty easy task but the technical bits were enough to weed out inexperienced juniors and for the senior devs that got it done quickly, I was able to discuss some extensions and architectural bits.
I wasn't looking for a specific solution, I just wanted to see how they approached the problem and their solution to it.
TL;DR: Choose a small ticket/task that you had to do recently, make it generic, and then watch the candidate reason through it//their solution.
Time and again, we see CEOs and similar executives make horrible decisions that massively damage a company both financially and in terms of reputation and the perpetrator is forced to resign, yet receives so much money as a going away present you'd think they're being rewarded for their fuck up. Why??
The reason a business might not hire a CEO from within is because the CEO needs to represent the interests of the board/shareholders, not necessarily the employees or customers. An existing employee will probably have existing loyalties/disloyalties to different parts/people in the business and not be able to represent the board/shareholders in the way that they want.
Native flowers attract bees and offer pollen + nectar for them :)
Don't forget that honeybees aren't the only bees nor the only pollinators. Ask your local university or beekeepers / native plants association about what you can do to help out in your area!
Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other....
Every now and then I think "Why isn't X thing standardized?! Why hasn't somebody sane come along to save us form this mess!" And then I think of that strip and realize why lol
Yeah, a magazine is more like a "topic" but that's too broad of a term I think.
My understanding of the term "magazine" is that it's supposed to denote that a magazine is composed of different kinds of content that fall under the same general topic, just like a real paper magazine is a mix of content (i.e. long form articles, short essays, q&a sections, photos, the fancy CD in the back, etc.) So a kbin magazine can encompass text posts, photos, videos, microblogs, etc.
So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
This pay likely makes up a significant portion of YouTube creators' revenue in addition to in-video sponsor spots/whatever a creator's equivalent is. Without this kind of payment it's not likely that a YouTube competitor could take off in a meaningful way.
My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

What are your thoughts on bots reposting links to Reddit posts?

How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others?
