Dear Mr Perens,
I recognize the problem you describe as real. Thank you for attempting to address it.
You mention a number of contribution avenues to the greater ecosystem of free software—from documentation to lobbying to actual programming. How will your proposed system ensure that such varied contributions are compensated fairly?
As-is, free software is largely a do-ocracy, with only moderate potential for deception. Adding bureaucracy to the equation threatens to upset this natural order.
Thank you and best of luck.
I agree with all points, except for Booch's assertions regarding Web3: If the pile of feces were indeed flaming, there would be an output of energy in the form of warmth etc. The Web3 that I have seen, however, consolidates and consumes more than it creates.
I hereby submit that Web3 is a black hole of feces.
Yes, this is a web browser that runs in a terminal. No, it does not seem to be keyboard-driven (nor even text-based for the most part). For the latter, I recommend w3m:

For the former, I recommend just running Firefox, Chromium, etc. That said, Carbonyl might be useful in at least one, specific scenario: executing on a remote machine web downloads that are too large for local machines and trapped behind JavaScript barriers (e.g. CAPTCHA) but aren't supported by a plugin of yt-dlp (or youtube-dl, headless JDownloader, etc).
Finally, from Carbonyl's README (regarding the build process):
It requires around 100 GB of disk space.
