    I don’t know of any made in Canada, and Japan seems to be where the best brands come from. But that said, most models, from the cheap single function ones, to models with headed water, heated drying, moving sprayer, self cleaning and heated seat are usually just a toilet seat unit.

    You could easily install them in an apartment, you just connect its plumbing connector in between your existing toilet water line and the toilet tank’s hook up. A little plumbers tape on the threads can help prevent any leaks. Then you just remove the existing toilet seat and slap the bidet seat on. Time to move out? Switch the seats back, clean it and bag it and take it to your next home. Super easy, install videos on YouTube, only tool that you might need is a simple pair of channel lock pliers. That you can probably get for like $12

    I would just start searching online for best bidet seats and see what models fit your price range and choose based on what countries you want to support the economy of.

    Hope that helps, we love our bidet (Alpha UX Pearl) and love to see people discover them.


  • I think it’s pretty fucking obvious what their problem is. They don’t want the newfound visibility that trans people have gained over the last few years to present a visible option for their kids and grandkids. They didn’t care about trans people years ago because they were largely in the shadows. Now that the language and culture around trans people is becoming visible to the average American, it has become the perfect shibboleth for the right wing to rally around no different than when the Christian right pulled abortion out of thin air as a rallying point to drive right wing voters. Don’t want your daughter to embarrass the fuck out of you at social functions when they introduce themselves as Xe/Xer/Xim? Vote Republican. That’s the point of the manufactured outrage. A way to drive funding and votes for fascism. And it worked. Trans visibility is the golden egg dropped in trumps lap that put him back in office.

    This isn’t just mindless theorizing. I work with these right wing jackasses. It’s all they talk about.



  • Sounds like you’re new to Linux and having Debian teething issues. Debian, for all of its standout qualities, is not a distribution I’d consider beginner friendly. An option like Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian) is going to be way easier out of the box and requires basically zero configuration aside from setting up Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU?

    Why did you need i386 support? What are your hardware specs? i386 support is being phased out, and while Debian will likely be one of the last holdouts for support it likely won’t support it for much longer.





  • I have put about 700 hours into CS2, on Linux, various distros, (Mint, Pop_os, EndeavourOS, Fedora Workstation, Nobara, MXLinux, you name it) with both an older Nvidia 2080 powered laptop, and my current AMD RX 7800xt desktop, and have never, ever had issues running CS2.

    If you’re having issues, you might need to retrace your steps and figure out what you’re doing wrong, because I’ve found there are very few games that run better in Linux than CS2.


  • This guy right here has you covered.

    A word of warning though, I played alternating between my beefy desktop and my steam deck, and the deck did admirable albeit at much lower settings. The only thing I simply could not play in handheld mode were street races. Frame rate and pop-in issues galore, it’s just too much for a little machine to process. Other than that the experience was great around 50fps.










  • Do you want them here? I don’t. I don’t tell a soul about lemmy, because this is place for me to get away from them. A place for mostly rational discussion, populated by people free thinking enough to seek an alternative. If the masses descended on Lemmy, they’d ruin it like they ruin everything else. They’d draw the attention that would lead to it being litigated, regulated, purchased, corporatized etc. Let them stay on Facebook and Reddit.

    Edit: ITT: A bunch of people who haven’t paid attention to how mind bendingly stupid content has become on mainstream social media, or worse yet, actually enjoy the chum pumped out by Facebook and TikTok and want it to come to lemmy as well. I’ll wear my downvotes with pride.
