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.

Achieving awful compression with digits of pi
https://github.com/philipl/pifs my favorite file system is based on this!
- Find the date of your birthday in the number pi
- AI language models can exceed PNG and FLAC in lossless compression, says study
- The Stick of Jan Sloot
- Free unlimited storage, store your files in pi – pi File System
- Free unlimited storage store your files in pi pi File System
-
So apparently π doesn't have my birthday.
That's the idea used in πfs -- a filesystem that stores files based on their index in π's decimal expansion.

Give Up GitHub: The Time Has Come
FWIW, there are some (admittedly fairly naive) checks to prevent PII and other sensitive info from being suggested to users. Copilot looks for things like ssh keys, social security numbers, email addresses, etc, and removes them from the suggestions that get sent down to the client.
There's also a setting at https://github.com/settings/copilot (link only works if you've signed up for copilot) that will check any suggestion on the server against hashes of the training set, and block anything that exactly duplicates code in the training set (with a minimum length, so very common code doesn't get completely blocked). Users must choose the value for this setting when they sign up for copilot.

My thoughts on the topic
Copilot steals your personal code. No, it does not. While copilot may use your code as Training data, you can also easily uncheck this option if you are really concerned (https://github.com/settings/copilot)
