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.

Linus Torvalds statement
why would you think he doesn't use other apps? Heck, he even wrote this https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface , although now other folks maintain it.

Using a Mac without a network connection
> From the words of Linus himself
Since you don’t cite the source, I will assume that you’re referring to the Subsurface documentation (https://subsurface.github.io/download/). Linus himself, however, did not write it: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface.github.io/commit/91...

He's actually very pragmatic & uses C++ too when he likes the framework using C++ better. https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface

“Rust is safe” is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety
That didn't stop him from making a pet project in C++: https://subsurface-divelog.org/ I'd say that if he seriously didn't like it, he'd have used C or something else.

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
- you can also rectangular select like in vim, and then press either p (includes LF) or which joins the multiline clipboard text into a single line (removing LF's), that payed off a lot for output like `git status` and wanting to operate on parts of the output (files e.g.)
Have a look at the still young website's documentation here: https://contour-terminal.org/input-modes/#supported-text-obj...
for a more complete look of what you can do with the keyboard (normal mode) :)

GNOME’s horrid coding practices
Also, regarding VTE, the author of termite (discontinued terminal emulator) expressed similar concerns about the GNOME devs. Apparently, they have little interest in making the library useful to people not working on GNOME apps: https://github.com/thestinger/termite

Why are kitty and alacritty so popular? Where's the foot love?
I simply do not want to use anything libvte based. And that's what sakura is and termite used to be.

Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support

Wow, this confirms a lot of my impressions:
>> In 2012, we submitted a tiny patch exposing the APIs needed for the keyboard text selection, hints mode and other features. Despite support from multiple other projects, the patch was rejected. It's now almost a decade later and no progress has been made. There is no implementation of these kinds of features in VTE and it's unlikely they'll be provided either internally or as flexible APIs. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their hostility towards other projects using VTE as a library. GTK and most of the GNOME project are much of the same. Avoid them and don't make the mistake of thinking their libraries are meant for others to use.
This is exactly why sixel-tmux exists as a separate entity!
> Yeah, I read the entire conversation and if sixel support lands in tmux upstream, it would indeed be good news.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, but right now, there seems to be a lot of good will. I will do everything I can.
