I was never talking about vectorization, but regular file integrity. Textfiles have no error correctiveness. Yet a binary can be.
Either can be edited and vectorized. Heck the point of this talk is manipulating expectations, as sha256sum isn’t file verifier.
yeah, but nobody stops you from adding error correctiveness. you could for example just put the whole thing three times with a seperator.
however there’s also an important point for text files: you can post them wherever you can write text messages. being able to digitally sign them even adds to your freedom, as you can post anonymously and your readers are able to verify it’s from the same source. like you could post your heated political manifesto or cousin incest smut on 4chan or some darknet forum and if you later make a part 2, ppl will be able to tell you apart from imposters.
