Thanks for pointing that out -- I skipped over that first footnote. On my screen, it's on the previous page from the quote I posted (for what it's worth).
From the dissent: "In the 1990s, Oracle created a programming language called Java..."
Sun Microsystems was acquired in 2010... I guess I should give Thomas the benefit of the doubt that he intended the statement to apply to Oracle's owned IP & not be a historical account of the language's creation and creators, but this rubbed me the wrong way.
This list linked at the bottom is pretty insightful for Google products & relevant mitigations:

Confirms the `chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process` flag is useful here & sure enough, the 2018-01-05 SPL was waiting for me on my Pixel when I looked.
Do everything you can to advance the "open web" (or publishing & distribution of content in general) and eschew "walled gardens" (corporate or otherwise).
+1 To add to this, part of the draw of Uber for me is its ubiquity (& Lyft, but it's less widespread). My consumer experience is maintained in different international & US markets.
I don't have to worry about securing local currency before I can get around -- it just uses my card (which doesn't charge a fee to convert).
I don't have to worry about not being able to explain where I'm trying to go across language barriers or various levels of familiarity with a locale -- the built-in map app works the same way in Paris, London, Prague as it does in San Francisco or Durham. The GPS features keep drivers honest as to routes and adds a (small) sense of security as you know your journey is being tracked in case something goes sideways.
All that said, LibreTaxi looks really promising & I really like the premise behind it. Maybe, some day, I'll not want the tracking features, for example. I hope it takes off!
This is really well done. I'm fairly familiar with React & was able to pick this up around Section 3 "Core Components" [0] & feel like I could be decently productive with React Native.
Monitors won't have an over-the-air tuner, so, you'd need to use an external device to watch broadcast TV.
