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.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
Wayland is good until you hit the corner cases that they decided to abandon, without leaving any alternatives. We can always have extra protocol that can be optionally enabled, but good luck with standardizing that. It feels as if Wayland people are abusing their committee to keep Wayland as-is, instead of extending it. The protocol dashboard[1] doesn't look exactly good.

Inter-process Communication between two programs on Linux.
Wayland is itself an IPC system (that uses UNIX domain sockets). I would make a custom Wayland protocol (if there isn't already an appropriate one available, look here: https://wayland.app/protocols/). You can define the protocol in XML and generate the boilerplate code in C using wayland-scanner. I assume smithay also has an equivalent of wayland-scanner.

Swingland: Recreating Java Swing for Wayland
Given I will be using most of the Wayland protocol to achieve anything (it's minimal) and Wayland is well specified then the 'start at the bottom and build up' design pattern fits. Wayland has a wire protocol based on a Unix socket, and usefully Java has supported Unix sockets since release 16, so I can write everything in Java to (de)serialise messages. This gets me going quickly, providing positive feedback that I'm on the right track..

Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL
The core is bare-bones, there are numerous standard protocols since, and many other are in standardization. Here is a site to review their state: https://wayland.app/protocols/

Unix philosophy and compositor development
There is some lock-in in some places where tools adopt a protocol that is only implemented by wlroots compositors, or only implemented by KDE, etc, but I suspect this will improve over time as protocols stabilise ( and you can browse the available protocols here: https://wayland.app/protocols/ )

X12
This link comes up in literally every Wayland thread and it is even more bullshit now than it was in 2013 when it was first posted (and it was bullshit then too). It is titled "the real story" but it is quite the opposite.
A few key points:
1) he laughs at how X has a bunch of extensions. https://wayland.app/protocols/ hypocrites much. In 2013, since it was completely unusable, it probably didn't have many. But turns out real world use leads to "useless" features being reimplemented.
2) he complains about how X.org has broad hardware compatibility. As if that's a bad thing. Meanwhile wayland, even now it still doesn't work reliably on half the graphics chips on the market.
3) It complains that certain X features are not fully network transparent. True, but most are and you can detect at runtime and gracefully degrade. Wayland "fixes" this by just dropping the whole feature.
4) it flat-out lies saying the X server does nothing yet it is so much hard to maintain code. The core X protocol provides backward compatibility and is rock solid (and really easy to impelment from scratch btw, someone did it in Javascript for a tutorial for crying out loud). Meanwhile the Wayland compositor keeps accumulating everything because of point 1. Need a screenshot? Add it it the compositor. Need a hotkey? Add it to the compositor. Need drag and drop? Add it to the compositor. Need a notification icon? Add it to the compositor. In X, all those are peer to peer. Graphics are actually a relatively small part of a graphical user interface, something Wayland is still slow to learn.
5) He complains that certain applications are written inefficiently with blocking calls which is inefficient over a network connection. Wayland's calls are ALL blocking and just has no network connection.
6) Complains that X may draw things unnecessarily. Indeed... but there's an extension to disable that. Easy fix. Wayland even uses the same drivers!

Is it placebo or is X11 more stable than Wayland
So that brings me to Wayland Protocols!. In X11 land, X11 defines a lot of behaviors for you. There is no such definition in Wayland-land by design - this is to give compositors a lot more freedom and flexibility in how they function. It also means that it required time for protocols to develop to cover all of the things that we would need in a desktop window compositor to bring it up to snuff for desktop usage. These protocols evolved through the past 4-5 years of everybody seeing it's shortcomings on a Desktop system compared to a mobile phone based UI. With the latest fractional scaling protocol we have more or less finally "closed the gap" between Wayland and Xorg on the desktop - it's just a matter of compositors implementing full support for all of the protocols people want.

Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works
I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Author of ripgrep here.
Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?
Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.
Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.
Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.
ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:
* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)
* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.
Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
