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.

Implementing Quality Checks In Your Git Workflow With Hooks and pre-commit
Given how useful pre-commit is across projects I generally recommend installing via pip install --user, making it part of a tooling virtual environment, or using pipx:

Packaging a self contained CLI application for any environment?
I would recommend going with PipX. You toss in a setup.py file, put your project on github, and then anyone on any OS can pipx install your project. It's a glorious thing. The only thing they need is 1) some supported version of Python installed, 2) pipx installed. They can even get updates by calling pipx upgrade.

List of software package management systems
Good overview. There are quite a few on there I was not aware of. That said, I am not sure the organizational schema makes a tone of sense. I would assume most users that come across this would be looking for a package manager for a specific platform and then weighing the options of binary/source/etc., instead of the other way around.
Also, pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx) would be a good addition to the list. I'd add it but I'm not sure where it would go. Maybe every section? It's cross platform and handles both binary and source based app distributions.

After using Python for over 2 years I am still really confused about all of the installation stuff and virtual environments
Pip is pretty simple and useful for me - you have your own environment for every script/program, requirements.txt is simple to understand too... It's kinda good solution for regular users... For more complex projects we have Poetry, PipX, that was inspired by NPM(x), I think...

Apple Unveils MacBook Pro Featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
What benefit would joining your cult bestow upon me that brew does not already?
My brew list is intentionally very short and my faffing about desire is limited.
Generally I use brew to pull in asdf (https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) to install programming languages/tooling, it works flawlessly.
I use Pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx) to install python thingies (such as yt-dlp) as a cli. Go and Rust handle binaries in their languages beautifully and without issues.

M1: Docker doesn't find shared x64 shared objects even though platform was specified
Distroless images are better left for people with serious need for lightweight images and good Linux knowledge because they require lot of planning with the build so that they stay light and work. If you need lighter images but docker isn't your main tool and you can't afford to take hours and hours of practicing different build strategies you can check docker-slim (https://dockersl.im/). With this tool you can easily size down the images.
