You use it a dumb TV and then you connect a smart device you have more control over via HDMI (or another connector)

There’s a love action advert or sketch that depicts the same thing but I can’t find it.

They use coreboot (open-source BIOS alternative - kinda) for their Tesla’s which the source-code is available on Tesla’s GitHub. That’s all I know though. Personally not a big Elon Musk fan.

I mean it mostly uses Bing in the background rather than Google. Searx is kich the same in the sense it taps into other search engines. Except with Searx you get more control.

Sweet potatoes I think.

It’ll also show you a pop-up to direct you to r/popular or use the app after a while and will stop showing you posts from the subreddit you’re looking at.

Personally I’ve been using Slide for years and I’ve recently started using libreddit on PC.

EDIT: Ultimately I just want to stop having a reddit account but it’s really useful for technical issues.

EDIT 2: Didn’t fully look at the screenshot and ended up explaining what you already know
