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 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.
