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.

what programming language is bitcoin software written in?
Mako is written in C Core and some other variants are discussed in the /u/bitusher comment

Who controls Bitcoin ?
There is a thread about mako, which is a new implementation, in this sub right now.

Mako – a full Bitcoin implementation in C
Call me old school, but I like looking at the number of lines of code to get a feel for how big of a project something is. Mako[1] is 265,618 lines of code. The most widely accepted Bitcoin implementation[2] is 639,074 lines of code. The common Bitcoin implementation is 2.5x bigger and written in a slew of languages. Mako looks like a super-impressive amount of work (and by a single person no less).

Milk Sad: Weak Entropy in libbitcoin (bc) seed generation
libbitcoin isn't a company. It's an alternative C++ implementation (https://github.com/libbitcoin) to the Bitcoin Core (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) implementation. Bitcoin Core is the one originally from Satoshi. Libbitcoin came in like 2011 or so iirc and was led by Amir Taaki. Libbitcoin is a lot less popular than Bitcoin Core, as you can see on the github stats.

OneCoin co-founder pleads guilty to $4B fraud
That would make Eve online, Second Life, and other games illegal since people trade their digital assets all the time
>Comparing Bitcoin to free software seems similarly disingenuous.
Bitcoin is free software. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Can the government make their own Nodes to follow and gather data?
Yes a government can. Bitcoin specifically is open source: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin. The ledger is public so as you pointed out there wouldn't be more details.

How are changes made to Bitcoin’s code?
Different implementations(core, knots,btcd,bcoin,libbitcoin, ....) have different ways of coming to consensus. The most popular implementation called core https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin follows these guidelines https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

76.5% of all bitcoin has not been sold, nor even moved, in at least six months, a new record. That's the very definition of "diamond hands". [OC]

Does anyone know good TECHNICAL explanations of how Bitcoin works?
Also, read the source code It's on-line, for free https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Titano Finance is a scam, stay away
Why is the source code a single file? No real code project that I've ever seen is built on 1 file. Take a look at BTC for example, that's what a real code project looks like.
