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.

Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods
Your comment gave me the impression that Daniel Walsh made some refutation against that podman-machine is being deprecated, but the Tweet you link to say no such thing, unless it's hidden in some sub-tweet (Twitters UX is horrible to discover things).
Going straight to the source (https://github.com/boot2podman/machine), it says the following:
> DEPRECATED (with huge letters)
> Podman Machine is now deprecated. Users should try using Vagrant instead.
So one can safely assume that podman-machine is in fact getting deprecated.

Docker desktop no longer free for large companies
Well yeah, sure, but Docker for Mac/Windows installs the VM, sets up host-guest file shares, papers over networking and VPN stuff, etc.
I was going to say that installing Podman on macOS/Windows leaves the VM as an exercise to the user, but per another comment, there's podman-machine[1], a new-ish built in to setup a VM. However, it's apparently already deprecated (?) and recommends simply 'Vagrant' as an alternative, so seemingly setting up the VM is back to being a user exercise for Podman?

What is a singularity container and how do I use it?
never used it but a very popular example of a container is docker (that link says what a container is) and singularity just looks like another container flavour (maybe specific to HPCs?)

Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers.
The re-exec pattern is not the only way you can solve this in Go. I actually rebuilt a container runtime from C to Go (for the HPC market) and we had to solve this problem. We did it by essentially forking before any Go code gets run. Here’s the code for the main binary that actually spawns the container process. It’s half C, half Go. https://github.com/hpcng/singularity/tree/master/cmd/starter
