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?

Shit like this is why I don't use DuckDuckGo. I appreciate them for what they do (and I love the DDG app for it's tracking protection abilities), but their search is absolute garbage, somehow even worse than Google's.
DDG partnered with Microsoft which allows Microsoft to ignore the tracking protections in the iOS and Android browsers, all in the name of serving you "relevant ads" like that's something I want. They can make all the soothing claims they want, I won't use them ever again.

Try SearXNG, It aggregates from several search engines into one result list with no tracking. Also FOSS.

Ah, I see DDG has started the slow slide into enshittification.
Start off with a good service, gain a userbase, then start to slowly boil the frog an extract cash.
I'm excited about mwmbl, a search engine with a novel user-curation approach to search ranking. Currently it's in alpha, and frankly, not good enough to be daily-driven. But you can change that! While I don't really use the engine, I make sure to use their crawler extension and script to passively help the index.
Excellent, I hadn't come across this yet, many thanks!
~~Just fyi, you typed the link to their main source code as github.org instead of .com :)~~
ETA: Been reading up today, and I'm fully onboard. Glad it uses opensearch, mega easy to just replace SearXNG, and the approach to the curation with the crawler extension is neato.
