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.

Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative
They don't "allow" it, but most apps that need background execution just ask permission for geolocation tracking and pretend to use it, for example iSH[1]. There are a few activities that the app can do to prevent itself from being suspended when it goes out of focus, like playing sound, geolocation etc.

How to copy a file between devices?
Android: install termux, `pkg install openssh`, and preferably run `termux-setup-storage` to give it access to storage folders.
iOS: I think https://ish.app/ ?

How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
This of course hasn't been true for years, eg: http://omz-software.com/pythonista/index.html
And you can run a C compiler (or anything) inside https://ish.app/ too.

ScummVM officially released in the App Store
False. iSH is an x86 "bytecode" emulator.
"Possibly the most interesting thing I wrote as part of iSH is the JIT. It's not actually a JIT since it doesn't target machine code. Instead it generates an array of pointers to functions called gadgets, and each gadget ends with a tailcall to the next function; like the threaded code technique used by some Forth interpreters."

Windows is now an app for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and PCs
There is an x86 virtual machkne running Linux available on the App Store now.
Now would Apple allow a full blown Windows VM is a different question

Stop EU Chat Control
There are plenty of solutions for running Python in an IDE on the iPad. There is an even an x86 emulator and a Linux terminal built on top of it in the App Store.
It can run anything that you can run on an x86 in user mode. I downloaded the AWS CLI (which requires Python) to run some tests
By the way, you were completely wrong about VSCode being written in .Net.
> That's just compiling the code to a native binary, which you would then have to go submit through Apple's store. How does that help for an IDE expected to allow you to test (i.e. execute) and debug the code you've just written ten seconds ago?
There is an existence proof that it could be done. If you ran iSH with remote VNC you could have a full IDE on a Mac.
> We can see right there some examples of what isn't allowed:
- ISH: Linux shell running on iOS/iPadOS, using usermode x86 emulation

Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
Not making any statement regarding the mentioned workflow issues (I mostly agree with them), I really like iSH [1] for this sort thing.
It’s a “good enough” solution for the “I just quickly need to do something in a terminal” problems.
And because it’s an x86 Alpine Linux it can even run simple binaries if needed.
But for me it still couldn’t replace a dedicated laptop for proper tasks.

Is it impossible to upgrade from 15.1 to 16.3?
If you have TrollStore then install the HV version of UTM to try for yourself: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/latest/download/UTM.HV.ipa

Exploring Windows XP on macOS ARM64
Researching a little showed that this is basically what can be expected running x86 emulation and the systems will just be wonky and slow, although it was running flawlessly, just slow.
There seem to be ways to use Rosetta2 inside a VM [0] to then translate binaries but I found no official support or documentation (using UTM+QEMU that was), this would be such a cool feature, at least there are discussions about it [1,2]

UTM for Developers
UTM makes it easy to set up and manage macOS and Windows virtual machines. This can be especially useful for developers such as Tauri contributors who need to test their applications across multiple platforms, or for those looking to experiment with different operating systems without affecting their primary system.

What is the best way to run Windows 10 or 11 (whatever is better) on a 2020 MacBook Air M1?
If you don't need high performance and want to use the OS only occasionally, check UTM.app, at https://mac.getutm.app/ (or https://github.com/utmapp/UTM ). Free, open source.
