is "PC platform" the standard term here? I'm not saying it isn't, it just sounds a little odd to me.

EA's football game had that feature since, iirc, the 2010 edition, so clearly they were not too concerned about the patent.

it has four, going on five, esoteric proper nouns in one sentence. it's not hard to parse, but it isn't something I love reading either. I'm reminded of the Illuminatus Trilogy, which at times is barely more than proper nouns

"My breath froze into pink pretzels." was the only bit of the excerpt I found interesting. I suppose pretzel is a bit of a kitschy choice for the centre of a metaphor, but the overall effect of it was to raise some interesting que

I see what you're trying to say, but the fact that it is already the default for many operating systems is all the more reason that you should stop tacitly accepting it, not the other way around the term sideload gives implicit primacy

and yet, when you do it on a PC, it's just called "installing". the point is that the word railroads you into the assumption that having an official app store is the default behaviour and installing software from elsewhere is

maybe historically, but the Vatican is barely a country. if it had any citizens beyond employees of the institution maybe it could count as a coontry

so does disney. it's irrelevant. neither of them have any real citizens other than employees of the institution. a church is a completely different institution to a country. countries are not decentralised. they do not advertise. they
