  I’m assuming there was no ID or contact info with it, since you probably wouldn’t be asking if there was.

  Hypothetically, if you were to give it to the police, how would the police know that who the rightful owner is? If I walk into a police station right now and say I lost $200, do you think they would hand over $200 to me? No, I have no way of proving thats my money, and they wouldn’t believe me for a second.

  Keep it. Lord knows everyone could probably use an extra few hundred bucks these days…

  It doesnt look too hard to build from source if you want to go that route… You could just make a debug apk and install it with ADB.

  Regardless of whether you are using a block or an allow list, you have to maintain the list…

  I’m not sure what your point is; if you want to devote your time, effort, and potential liabilities to it, that’s up to you. I just figured I would share a perspective on why I didn’t want to do that.

  I appreciate all the hard work done by instance hosts; using individual Lemmy instances are a privelege, not a right. I would fully understand and not be upset if my home instance were to shut down at a moments notice.

  Sure, but then you’re left with text only and are relying on your blocklist for URLs, which is just going to be a game of whack-a-mole. I personally didn’t want to have to worry about that in my free time, but I’m sure other folks feel differently.

  I self hosted a Lemmy instance for a little while, but I stopped over concerns of malicious actors posting CSAM which would then get federated over to my server. I don’t have the appetite to deal with that, and I’m glad I shut it down because just a few weeks later there was a big instance of it happening all over Lemmy, and I’m sure I would have had to deal with cleaning it up on my server too. Just something to keep in mind.

  Otherwise though, the setup process isn’t too complex.

  And that choice is Robin Williams. The man was a gem 🥲
