On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?

I wish ddg didn’t suck, but ddg sucks.
What’s bad about it? OP has voluntarily turned ads on on ddg (to support ddg I guess). DDG has been working great for me, so care to enlighten me please?
DDG is good, that guy can go duck himself. I love !bangs.
It gives bad results. I mean just look at OP’s post. It picked up on “dating” and “apps” and gave ads and probably results on that instead “updating” and “apps”. Even when he also included the context of “gentoo”. It’s just bad at keywords. It just gives a scatter of semi related terms.
It’s not DDG’s fault that company buys ads in with the worst possible keywords.
Otoh, using a browser without adblock is wild. ;P
Yeah I don’t think they keyworded “updating”. That’s ddg. Especially with the context of Gentoo, which ddg also couldn’t figure out.
that might be more the advertiser needs to update their negs list
I don’t think there’s that many Gentoo Linux related ads lol
It works fine for me, I haven’t had to google something for better results in about a month. I used to have to do that though, have you tried it recently? I think it’s gotten better compared to a few years ago
People have to buy these ads. Ad buyers don’t want to show ads to people that aren’t interested, it’s low success all around. They want to show ads to people that are actually interested, and this isn’t it. This is supposed to be the bread and butter for DDG, and the underlying search abilities can’t even do that right. It’s just a scatter of semi related terms. This isn’t a case of showing something just because, this is a case of bad ad/search results.
I use DDG all the time, every day, and it gives exactly what I said, a scatter result of semi related terms. I end up using google well over half the time.
I’ve been using it for like a week now and it’s weirdly slow. Basically every other search engine including the other privacy focused ones are significantly faster.
