Hello,I'm new here and it's been ages since I tried this whole BBS stuff the last time.
I'm still trying to figure out how it all works,but I already like it.
It's so retro and lightweight,unlike that modern web stuff that you can't really use without at least one adblocker anymore.
Did I miss anything or is it correct that this is the first post here on that whole server? :D
Well,so let me introduce myself...
I'm Niklas, I've been working with free software for years and I'm writing this on my Haiku computer.
I started with using free operating systems many years ago when I ordered a laptop with Windows 7 and they accidentally delivered it with Linux Ubuntu.
I think I used Arch Linux for the longest time,but recently I try to move away from Linux because I found some other operation systems that I like much more,and I dislike some of the more or less recent developments around Linux (most notably systemd,Flatpak,Snap and Wayland).
I like Haiku so much because it has the best desktop experience I've ever seen and it's fully optimized for this use case,not some hybrid that you can also put on a server or a phone and that has to make compromises because of that.
After having programmed websites and webapps for the largest part of my life,I'm currently trying to learn C++ and programming native applications for Haiku.
I always have way too many projects for my limited free time so that it takes a long time to finish anything,but at least I try ;)
Besides my activities in the free software community,I work full-time as a salesperson at a large food retail.
