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.

The future of Python build systems and Gentoo
And probably https://github.com/pradyunsg/installer https://pypi.org/project/installer/ too, but that one isn't under the pypa org yet, given the author, it probably will be.
All that being said, the deprecations and removals are being done way before the replacements are in place and tested and features/rough edges rounded out, which I guess is python tradition at this point.
IMHO, the repos maintained by pypa should all be part of the core teams responsibility (e.g. pip is maintained by pypa, not core, but its installed as part of the python installer you download from the foundation's website...), along with solving building/installing/packaging/distributing as a whole. But the core team decided their volunteers didn't want to work on that (ok fair) and pypa stepped up to do it, but never really had enough manpower to tackle it well (ok also fair). And none of the tech companies ever thought "gee we rely so heavily on this awesome tool, maybe we should send them some money to keep the lights on..." So instead its just been a giant mess.

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.
What are some alternatives?
build - A simple, correct Python build frontend
Poetry - Python packaging and dependency management made easy
pipsi - pip script installer
opstrat - Option visualization python package
py2exe - Create standalone Windows programs from Python code
Lean and Mean Docker containers - Slim(toolkit): Don't change anything in your container image and minify it by up to 30x (and for compiled languages even more) making it secure too! (free and open source)
requests - A simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.
dust - A more intuitive version of du in rust
Cargo - The Rust package manager
private-pypi - private pypi server
