  while (true) {

    const nodes = document.querySelectorAll('button[data-testid="unlike"]');

    if (nodes.length === 0) {

      console.log('NOOP');

Best zstd compression

The highest zstd compression ratio is achieved with zstd -22 --ultra --single-thread
The -22 gives the highest supported compression level.
The --ultra is needed to get above -19.
The --single-thread preempts some issues with the file being corrupted.

Twitter: collect all links to posts on a page

The following snippet executed in the Developer Console will help you collect all the links to individual posts on a profile. Once the script has been executed, all you'll need to do is to scroll down (or navigate from post to post using the "J" key).

window.links = new Set();

window._updateLinks = () => {

    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a > time'))

        .map(node => node.parentNode.href)

        .forEach(link => window.links.add(link));

}

window._handleScroll = () => {

    _updateLinks();

    console.log("Links collected:", window.links.size);

}

window.addEventListener('scroll', _handleScroll);

Once you're ready to collect the data, you can copy it to the clipboard using:

copy(Array.from(window.links).join("\n"));

This will copy the links to all the posts you've scrolled through, one link per line.

Useful e.g. when wanting to archive the content from a profile.
