Always learning, consequently always changing. The person I am today is not who I was a year ago, and is barely recognizable to the me of more than two years ago. Fun random fact. I am a 7.62x39 lover, and I really miss my vz58...

Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet. We were out walking, taking in the sights and sounds of Paris, and came across this church. Not one I'd visited previously, so in we go!

2/2 - Bouillon Julien (the food)
A couple of appetizers (leek vinaigrette and rabbit terrine), two mains (sea bream and a steak), wine (one glass of white and a small carafe of red), and for dessert a chocolate mousse and an espresso.
(Hey @mindsplus can we have more than four pics per post, please?)

Lots of cool murals, street art, shops, and restaurants in the La Butte aux Cailles neighborhood (13th arrondissement of Paris). Worth a visit if you have time to wander.

Ingrained habits are hard to break. Which is why despite their known flaws, people continue to use facebook, twitter, etc.
Perhaps web searches are an even more critical aspect of online privacy. Search query terms, IP address, browser and device info, cookies, geolocation, click-through data... this is all info that Google, Microsoft Bing, etc use to track, learn about you, and manipulate you.
As an outlier, a user of Minds, you've made a big move by being part of this social network. But if you haven't changed your search engine habit, you've only gone part of the way to safeguarding your data from the tech industry's prying eyes.
I invite you to join those of us who have moved to (in my opinion) the best decentralized, customizable meta search engine that protects your privacy by not collecting any data about you.

Something new I'm trying out. They just got their pre-seed funding in July and launched beta. Early stages here, so could end up as nothing (at the worst) or might make some $$. Won't hurt to try!!
