Helaas is het meeste op de pagina [Wayback/Archive] Hoe kun je gratis belasting-aangifteprogramma in Excel downloaden? | GratisSoftware.nl automatisch gegenereerd.
Het belangrijkste stukje is de download link die in een aantal stappen naar de echte download gat: WeTransfer, helaas geen KPN File Transfer of een andere die qua privacy minder omstreden is, zie mijn eerdere blog-post Bye bye WeTransfer, hello Wormhole – Simple, private file sharing.
De quick-link is een nummertje hoger dan die van vorig jaar in Belastingaangifte 2024 met Excel gratis downloaden | Computer Idee.
Let op: het werkt eigenlijk alleen goed in Microsoft Excel op Windows. Dus de gegenereerde content over andere omgevingen mag je geloven, maar dan zit je zelf ook op de blaren.

It’s fitting to see the Machine Learning mocking a few years before ChatGPT and other Large Language Models based Machine Learning web sites.
By now I really wonder how much they have involved as back then they were in a state of pity. There were many examples like for instance [Wayback/Archive] Microsoft Kills Bing AI’s ChatGPT-Powered Alter Ego Sydney.

Weliswaar werd [Wayback/Archive] Hoe een reclametypetje het weleens tot premier zou kunnen schoppen gepubliceerd op 1 april, maar de strekking klopte: gewiekste marketing gefinancierd door de agri-reuzen maakten BBB en kerrolain binnen enkele jaren groot.
Hoe zou het nu met ze zijn? Net zo uitgedoofd als vergelijkbare partijen met veel onderliggend extreem-rechts gedachtengoed (zoals bijvoorbeeld bleek tijdens de 4-mei affaire).

A long time ago (likely around 2009) I remember writing some code to re-encode text files in both Delphi and C#.
Somehow I thought I had published both, but I could only find parts of the C# code back in .NET/C# – converting UTF8 to ASCII (yes, you can loose information with this) using System.Text.Encoding.
So here are some links just in case I ever want to reproduce it in Delphi too (and a reminder to always perform this using TStream derivatives, never use TStrings or derivatives like TStringList for this):
