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?
Just two things:
- You can take screenshots with your computer.
- Clean your damn monitor, son! 🤣
if OP is using gentoo then there is a very real chance they aren’t able to take screenshots yet.
back in my gentoo days it took a while to get that set up. although it wasn’t exactly a top priority
Work computer. Dont want to sign in to work computer with personal accounts. Yes, can screenshot, then email to myself, open up on phone, then upload here. But thats too much work for a dumb joke.
Why are you using dating websites on work computers?
Didnt click the link. Morning tea break. Wondered how gentoo apps worked. Looked it up. Funny ad. (While other workers have pictures of thier kids to keep them motivated, i have the linux pipeline xkcd comic on my desk to keep me sane)
Maybe peoples that used gentoo are old enough to be called legends
¯_ (ツ) _/¯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.
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 agoPeople 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.
that might be more the advertiser needs to update their negs list
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.
Just don’t use Arch for dating.
Yeah, it basically syncs the repository from the patch and then compiles.
It’s just that if you start at 20 with an emerge update, it might be done by the time you’re 40 and you might want to consider start dating for once.
Average qtwebengine updater
Recommended as no one else but other Gentoo care about your compile times of cowsay
It’s not gentoo late, bro!
What is this “dating”?
I use Ubuntu, even people on Lemmy won’t talk to me.
I’m just kidding. I use arch btw. I’m recompiling my wifi drivers on my Commodore 64, so I can play Jumpman please help me
Look, a Gentooman is up for dating.
This would be the top post on Reddit.
Don’t worry, you’ll be 40+ by the time the updates are finished compiling.
Google now thinks:
A) You’re a pengin
B) You’re trying to marry up from your social class
Your ads are going to be wonderful.
OP is a duck.
I was getting some meh results with DuckDuckGO so I switched to Qwant and started trying it instead.
Well, your first mistake was using google.
duckduckgo is a bing frontend
Your first mistake was not spotting the DuckDuckGo logo in the corner ;)
oops
AFAIK: Gentoo used to be just source repos, but times have changed. Gentoo repos now have binaries. You can opt out of them, so it’s up to you.
With binaries, it works like any other distro. Download the updated binaries, install, done.
If you go from source, then it will download all the source code, and do the whole makefile thing, and install the new binaries when the compile is done, every time you do an update.
So the direct answer to your question is: it depends. If you’re compiling everything then yes, you need to recompile everything that is updated. If you’re going to opt for binaries in the package manager, then no.
The binaries are not opt out, but opt in.
A small but important distinction.
Thank you for the information. Have a good day.
