/*
 * INSTRUCTIONS
 *
 * - Install a userscript browser extension
 *     (I used ViolentMonkey https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/violentmonkey/jinjaccalgkegednnccohejagnlnfdag,
 *     but you can use any extension you want, such as tampermonkey, it should work fine)
 *     FIREFOX USERS: It seems to work better with TamperMonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/
 * - Import the script
 *     On ViolentMonkey, click on the extension icon, then gear icon (Open dashboard)
 *     There should be a plus icon on the top left hand corner, click on it and select Install from URL
 *     Use this URL: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/busybox11/d0530e396bd4597a62587032ee55d214/raw
 * It should now work and update by itself
 *

// DISCLAIMER: Script heavily inspired by @d1mden's OldTwitter extension
// which convinced me something like this was possible.
// I was already kind of convinced it was because I managed to make a
// manual request from an unupdated client I had offline that I analyzed
// though dimden's extension gave me the motivation to actually do
// something.
//
// This was also made possible by hours of digging through Twitter's
// source code and feature flags, which at the end of the day are kind of
// convenient to work with - see the (surprisingly) small amount of code
// below.

// YOU'RE FREE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH THIS SCRIPT BUT IF YOU DO MAKE SOMETHING
// PLEASE MAKE SURE TO MENTION ME SOMEWHERE - I hope you'll understand why :)
// Also https://paypal.me/busybox11 because I am (still) broke

let __TMP_INITIAL_STATE__ = window.__INITIAL_STATE__ ?? {};

const mutateState = (state) => {
  state.featureSwitch.user.config = {
    ...state.featureSwitch.user.config,
    ...{
      trusted_friends_dash_discovery_enabled: { value: true },
      trusted_friends_tweet_creation_enabled: { value: true }
    }
  };

  return state;
};

Object.defineProperty(window, "__INITIAL_STATE__", {
  get: () => {
    return mutateState(__TMP_INITIAL_STATE__);
  },
  set: (newData) => {
    __TMP_INITIAL_STATE__ = mutateState(newData);
  },
  configurable: true,
});

document.cookie="ab_decider=trusted_friends_consumption_enabled=true&trusted_friends_tweet_creation_enabled=true";

also if you copy the contents of featureSwitch.user.config into featureSwitch.debug you get the feature switches settings on your settings menu

window.__INITIAL_STATE__.featureSwitch.debug = Object.assign({}, value.featureSwitch.user.config);

i forget the exact name but something card compact layout to false sets the embed cards back to normal

they already fixed it
