Yes, but there’s a difference between having your source and binaries available on github and submitting to an app store like flathub.

I don’t disagree necessarily, but they shouldn’t be uploading / sharing one-off projects they don’t intent to maintain.

• high performance legacy software like this often uses low-level languages like c, c++, and assembly
• these low-level languages are extremely powerful but require manual management of memory
• that memory management is a common place where bugs like this can be found. This vulnerability is a memory overflow

This kind of bug’s severity and how easily it is to accidentally introduce is why many high performance applications are moving to the rust programming language, which was specifically designed to try and prevent/minimize memory bugs.

Came here to say this: Anki is infinitely better than some scammy ai enabled nonsense.

The challenge is Anki relies on the student being motivated to pursue the education. The solution to that is the student seeing the value and fun in what they’re learning. That can partially be provided by gamification, but really a passionate teacher with genuine enthusiasm is the best.
