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.

Gnome Web 44: leaps and bounds
If you're (or anyone else is) curious, GitHub is not working (or works but very slow) because it spams the browser with clipboard read access requests (which I suppose is not supported yet on Epiphany): video

Transmission 4.0.0 has been released with over a years worth of new features and fixes!
Edit: Found this from the GTK4 alpha version. Probably how it looks in final release too: https://gitlab.com/rmnscnce/vault/uploads/a3d33788105bad97fa4c2451b3483a98/image.png

The popular torrent client Transmission just released 4.0.0-beta.1 - GTK4 support has also just landed for beta.2 which is coming soon!
Keep in mind that this will bring GTK4 into Transmission, which doesn't mean it will use libadwaita. Here's how it looks: PNG image

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
