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.

C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
brew install --cask xquartz
Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs.

Understanding Keyboard Events Better
I’ve recently spent some time working with terminal emulators in raw mode on macOS. While I chose to handle key events using escape codes, and found it seriously difficult (even gave up) to process the shift modifier key. However, I came across xquartz [1], which seems to do similar things as mentioned in the article. Would detecting shift key state have been trivial using such a library?

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The contents are rendered through gtk/cairo which not only goes through https://www.xquartz.org/ but also doesn't use GPU rendering (it was experimental 3 years ago, maybe better now). The main issue seems to be that neither Inkscape nor gtk people have much low level Darwin experts or time available to invest in debugging the whole rendering stack. See for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1614 and all the other referenced issues for all the gory details.

ksh88 string substitution in alias | mpv streaming
I live in a mezzanine studio using a M1 macbook for a workstation (writing/editing) and my old laptop with openbsd as a local server. I play music from that obsd server upstairs, which thus fills the whole room down to my desktop through the plugged-in speakers. My hosted library plays fine with mpd and ncmpcpp, and I just figured out it's not so difficult to use mpv to play streamed youtube videos, since firefox in XQuartz streaming from xenocara is way too slow anyhow.

Back to Emacs - I have some questions
There is an alternative: I ended up using Xquartz to give me an X11 environment and then running StumpWM as my tiling window manager. I used this for all my productive stuff, running full screen in MacOS, then a quick keypress got me back to the Mac environment.
- Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL
-
Which mac should I get for study?
I also used Xquartz. Emacs was better for me though because capturing text output and documenting what I captured was so much easier than X-window.
-
Does Wine work on mac at all?
Link
- how to ssh from linux or windows to mac os with x11?
-
Do most people just run zsh, or is it common to switch to bash?
I used a Mac for router software testing for over 20 years. I ran a shell on my mac either through Emacs (on occasion) or X-quartz with terminal connections to a dozen or more routers, linux and or Windows systems. In all that time, I opened the terminal on my mac maybe 5 times.

Inkscape launches version 1.3 with a focus on organizing work efficiently
There's a year old issue https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3227 with no visible progress and a medium priority label. I hope it gets more dev focus soon.
- New Inkscape commit will refresh your font list when a new one is installed!

Node duplication [help]
Here's a bug report related to this. Also here's a video of this bug with the oldest version of Inkscape that I still have lying around (0.94.2 i.e. 2019, but it's likely the bug is even older than that), and a similar thread on here from more than two years ago.
-
The checkmark of the page grid button is reversed. Is this a bug?
Yes. Only in specific circumstances, though. It's not really that big of a deal.
-
Is there a way to snap object handles to paths/nodes? For example, I have a circle arc, and I want the arc to end on a path; but when I drag it it won't snap.
Arc handles can't be snapped and it's a known issue. It seems like you're using guides, though, so you can just double click the guide to get its angle and manually enter it as the 'Start' or 'End' angle in the toolbar.
-
[Help] How can I make CTRL + ALT + V work?
This is a known issue. It seems like it's related to a new setting that was added in recent versions. In the preferences under 'Behavior → Selecting' disable 'Paste above selection instead of layer-top' to get the old, non-buggy behavior back.
