A write-off is just a bookkeeping manouver that means
No. A write-off is nothing more than a company expense. It’s a deduction from their income.

I had one ordered before but the more you look at the specific language this guy uses, the more clear it becomes that he was not in it for anyone but himself. The community exists to finance his pet project.
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 5 days ago:
Articles are incentivized to elaborate beyond what is even remotely necessary, link back to no one but themselves themselves, repeatedly, and to serve ads and extract personal information for sale while they’re doing it.
So you’ll have to excuse some of us looking for the tl;dr

I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Hard disagree. I think that’s exactly who they’re going after. That’s why they added all the console features like CEC, wake on BT, background updates, etc. etc. and why they gave it a controller-first interface.

How does community-run servers prevent them from writing off their losses?

Thank you for not lying about that

Thing is, if you’re bombarded by ads for a specific product, it means that company is spending a fortune on advertising. That is, the money their customers are paying them. I’m other words, the customers of those products are being ripped off.

They’ve been doing that for years. I’ve audited my own “likes” for years and found a bunch of BS. And we roasted one of our friends for years because he “liked” Miller Lite.

If company A has an ad that’s a good target and pays $20 and company B has an ad that’s a bad target but pays $100, which one are they going to show you?

I didn’t say he shared the files. I linked to the documentary in the comment you replied to, but on PeerTube.

He hooked his laptop up to school servers and was copying all the data on them.

I dunno man, the problem with most private servers is that they’re just that. I don’t know where they are or who is hosting them. I only know where mine is.

Privacy is not binary. It lives on a Spectrum. On one end you have Proton. And on the other, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.

These are your choices. There’s no other way.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point…
Users don’t “need” to configure these services either. That’s the entire point.
You can either configure it yourself, or use someone else’s that has configured it for you. Or you can choose one of the p2p services that simply don’t require any configuration. That’s the entire point.
Adminforge is Linux tutorials
AdminForge runs a variety of services for public use.
And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.
Much like Proton (and every other company/org), they have to either choose to comply or close up shop.

I run several of these services with no company involved.

Email is much more difficult to configure than most of these services. Some of them require no configuration at all. You just open the app, type in the recipient’s address, and Bob’s your uncle.
For others, it’s already available through community projects like AdminForge and Disroot.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 2 weeks ago:
You run your own or just choose from a variety of publicly-available ones.

Sorry, I don’t understand the words you’re using. Some of them are peer to peer. Some of them use servers which can be hosted by individuals. Some of them work locally over Bluetooth or WiFi.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t say without a server, I said without a company-hosted server.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 2 weeks ago:
None of them require a company to host a server. That was my entire point.
