I have been using some third part tools for the purpose of cutting out the silences and filler words from my amateur podcasts and wanted to give it a shot myself to build one that works on the browser. Ad-free, install-free and account-free version.And here is the result.It works completely on browser and has zero backend api connections. Everything stays in your browser. Chrome or edge needed...

I was speaking English, and the doctor refused to communicate with me, saying, "This is Germany and you should speak German." He then injected me with anesthesia. When I woke up, I was deeply upset and shaken by the experience.

Afterward, I tried to leave a review detailing what happened and called the treatment(not him/her) racist. The doctor rejected my review and responded by claiming, "I have people of color employees in my practice and love speaking English."

My lawyer advised me against pursuing legal action. He said it would be a long, drawn-out process that I might not win in the end. Even now, thinking about it makes me furious.

Sounds interesting. When I told the case I had to my lawyer friends from the US, they laughed and said it would be funny to have such a case there. So we definitely need something like that.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Google Maps is no longer a reliable tool for choosing restaurants in Germany. The review system has been quietly but thoroughly broken—weaponized by businesses and their legal teams to scrub away anything remotely negative. What’s left is basically curated marketing, not real customer feedback.This all started for me about three years ago, when I left a Google...
