The Wikimedia Foundation is not underfunded at all. What does worry me is that less page views may mean less engagement in the form of checking sources, flagging problems, and making edits.

True, but if you can run any command, you can probably run the alias command. It's just more convenient if you can run it from a .bashrc or similar.

Qalculate is great, but often I just use GNU bc. You just have to remember (or make some type of alias) to pass it the -l flag for floating point etc., and I also use -q for quiet. There's also dc(1) for RPN.

That's part of why I mentioned Jitsi and not just Jami. The former supports partial p2p on one-on-one calls, but uses a central server to support 50+ person calls (though they do recommend 75 max on the free instances they provide IIRC
