I think killing a reader is a serious crime in every jurisdiction on the planet...

Pocket’s change in offline capabilities is why I moved to Raindrop.io.

Guess I dodged a bullet by never using Pocket.

Now I don’t have any skin in this game, using Omnivore myself, but I’m not good at reading code. What’s this mean? I assume it’s not killing the reader as in I have nothing to fear for my life. Does this disable reader mode, or prevent some sites being used by Pocket? ELI5 please.
