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?

    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?

      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.

        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
