Yes, a flat daily fee during the week, and double that during the weekend or public holidays. Comes to ~600€ per week. If you actually get paged, you automatically get time off for the amount of hours you spent dealing with the incident.

Updating the BIOS via fwupd fixed it in my case, running Debian testing on a P14s Gen1 AMD.

As a Slovak I can confirm it's pretty easy to read both, although I hate the usage of cx, sx, ... instead of č, š, ... in Slovio.

I feel like Interslavic is closer in vocabulary to Slovak, but the form of the words is a bit foreign (reminds me of some other Slavic languages, although I can't quite figure out which one), while the opposite is the case with Slovio - the form of the words feels closer to Slovak, but the vocabulary itself feels more "Russian" to me.

As a Slovak, Interslavic feels easier to read and understand, though I can understand Slovio as well.

From my experience, Slovak speakers can understand other Slavic languages pretty well: Czech is basically our second native language (although for some reason it seems Czechs don't understand Slovak quite to the same degree), Polish, Slovenian and Croatian are understandable as well. Russian is a lot harder, even when written in Latin. I don't have experience with Ukrainian.

In Slovakia, if you live in an apartment building you can usually get up to 1Gbps/100Mbps FTTx or DOCSIS for around 30€, with some providers limiting upload to only 5% of download (so e.g. 1000/50). Some local providers might offer symmetric, but that's an exception. Most people are probably on cheaper plans in the 200-300Mbit download range for ~15€.

If you live in a detached house though, your only option is usually xDSL where you're lucky to get 15/1Mbit for ~20€ if you live "further from the post office".

Fixed wireless (LTE) usually offers better speeds if it's not oversubscribed in your area (40/40Mbit) but is not available everywhere, is more expensive and includes data caps.

Fiber to individual houses is mostly possible only in new developments, as you can't run new wiring on poles in Slovakia, only in the ground, so no ISP bothers to upgrade older houses.

Being from Slovakia, I guess people in our current government don't really care. The company SK-NIC that was running the TLD has ties with people in the government. It was recently sold to CentralNic, based in England.

When using the extension, you can use Ctrl+[dot] to open the container selector and then use arrows/tab and enter to select the container to open a new tab in. It's not as good as a dedicated shortcut, but it lets you open new container tabs without leaving your keyboard.

The only thing missing for me in Firefox on Android is text reflow. I just can't use a mobile browser without this feature.

There are some addons which try to emulate text reflow on tap, but it's pain to use at best.
