Automatic Old Reddit Redirect Safari Extension

#apple #safari #reddit

Miss the old Reddit browsing experience? You're not alone. While I've no doubt that they'll eventually produce something really smooth and cool (they're too good of an engineering team not to), in the meantime I've found myself preferring to use the old Reddit design. It's sleeker, faster to load, and easier to skim large amounts of posts with.

You can set your preference in your profile to use the old Reddit design, but I've noticed that it doesn't automatically push you to it - you'll still wind up waiting for a behemoth of a UI to load if you click a random Reddit link while not on old.reddit.com already. Chrome and Firefox have convenient extensions to force-rewrite the URL, but Safari is lacking... maybe due to the APIs being different, or maybe due to the up-front cost for the developer program.

At any rate, I wanted that extension in Safari, so I ported it over. I call it "Oldr for Reddit", and you can download it here. Once it's installed, check your Safari preferences -> Extensions list and enable it, and it should "just work" from there.

You still can, GitHub just arbitrarily changes wiki links: https://github.com/project-slippi/Ishiiruka/wiki/Overclocking-Controllers-on-macOS-Big-Sur,-Monterey,-Ventura,-or-Sonoma

This particular feature requires me doing some work that I just don't have time for. It's not something that someone can contribute as it primarily deals with signing the driver itself. on Support for overclocking on macOS 11.0+ 3 weeks ago
Just set all your ports in that config panel to WiiU adapter, then each port would technically work.

Right now you only have one port enabled in the config, and the adapter says detected but not reading... which is why I ask this. on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
This is plugged into port 1, correct? If it's detect, it should be outputting a Hz measurement... on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago

Kk, and how are you connecting the adapter to your machine? Is there a particular USB hub/adapter you're using?

(And as dumb as it might sound, you're using the black cord right? Not the rumble cord?) on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
Also - what adapter type are you attempting to connect? on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
A restart, yes. :) on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
I'd go ahead and do a full reboot to clear out any of those older installs - they shouldn't be conflicting, but frankly DriverKit is weird like this and I've run into cases where people have it "just work" after a full reboot.

What's the output of sudo systemextensionsctl list when the driver is toggled on from the dropdown? on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
Monterey is not a .kext-based installation method - the GCAdapterDriver homepage indicates this:

You're trying to run the .kext installer from the right, but you actually need to do the installer on the left. on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago
Ah, to be clear you're trying to install the .kext? Need to know your actual macOS version before we could even begin to debug - based on Finder I'm guessing it's 10.15 or less? on GCAdapterDriver not working over the apple one 3 weeks ago

There might be something there, but I'd need to revert my code back to confirm - but for what it's worth, I did experiment with a method on RequestData like the following:

impl<T> RequestData<T> {
    pub fn info(&mut self, message: impl Into<String>) {
        self.messages = self.messages.info(message);
    }
}

...which created the following error:

error[E0507]: cannot move out of `self.messages` which is behind a mutable reference
   --> libs/apex-utils/src/request.rs:37:25
    |
37  |         self.messages = self.messages.info(message);
    |                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------- `self.messages` moved due to this method call
    |                         |
    |                         move occurs because `self.messages` has type `Messages`, which does not implement the `Copy` trait
    |
note: `Messages::info` takes ownership of the receiver `self`, which moves `self.messages`

It could be worked around by the following, which I alluded to in my last comment regarding Clone:

impl<T> RequestData<T> {
    pub fn info(&mut self, message: impl Into<String>) {
        self.messages = self.messages.clone().info(message);
    }
}

Personally speaking, I also am just not a fan of needing to pepper request.messages = throughout handlers, the assignment aspect just isn't relevant to what's usually going on - but that's more subjective so I defer to you. on Support extracting messages in one pass? a month ago
