Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Is there a way to remove metadata from an image file?

First automatic JPEG-XL cloud service
> High quality progressive decoding at reduced filesizes is a big positive for me.
This is really cool!
Honestly, I want to use regular progressive JPEGs for a current project of mine, but it seems that even that doesn't have support in all the tech stacks yet despite how long it's been around for, for example: https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/issues/449
Here's hoping that in the case of JPEG-XL this will be more commonplace!

Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming
Here's an example:

Again, nothing stops someone from forking and maintaining.
Are you saying this is not legally enforceable? Because I am under the impression from my legal council it is. I can ask again to get more clarity.

ChatGPT: Assisting you with your chords
ChatGPT is very good at being confidently incorrect. I asked it for some programming related thing and it gave me some code that used a class from a library as if it was generic, when it was not, and even made up some classes. You should also remember that things have since updated and things that might have been true back in 2020, may not be anymore. SixLabors.ImageSharp, for example has reworked some code since then and ChatGPT regularly messes up the methods that it uses, most notably Image.GetPixelSpan.

Reasons to switch from python to dotnet ? Image processing involved
There is one in dot net too https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp

Compress/resize images
ImageSharp is another option, but could have licence implications.

GitHub - A Place to Fork
One example from the top of my head is ImageSharp.

ImageSharp leaving the .NET Foundation due to licensing change
Library users should come together and fork the last open source version (https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/tree/v2.1.3) and maintain that together. Just having a version still available, even if it's got no new features, may be enough to make the Six Labors reconsider their approach because why pay for a library that can mostly work for free?

TIL: mime types and static assets in Umbraco
Since .net doesn't yet support avif and neither does ImageSharp, files of this type just didn't have a MIME type available and trying to use them would result in a 404 error.

The search for easier safe systems programming
WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.
https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554
That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.

.NET on Linux: What a Contrast
Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years.
Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/

Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.
