One out of two guys. Also, I listened to his podcasts for ten years, and he always had high standards. But
1. this gets really annoying, fast
2. Right now, he talks about a lot of stuff he does not know about as if he would know everything in the world.
Really can't stand him any more.
And yes, project is not even F/LOSS. 3D mouse recommended, this guy is aloft from the rest of human civilization.

I partially agree. There was a time when Tim was hardly bearable, especially toward the end of CRE, but in my opinion, things have improved in recent years.

Was there an official "end" of CRE? I was still hoping for new episodes some day.

Are you saying Keyhole copied Terravision when they created EarthViewer? Google Earth was a rebranding, with continued development, of Keyhole EarthViewer after Google bought Keyhole.

Terravision started much earlier than Keyhole, however the lawsuit agains Google wasn't successful:

There is also a Netflix Mini-series inspired by the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Billion_Dollar_Code
Sadly, Kugelblitz is only available for Mac and is closed-source for now. And, of course, it's vibe-coded. He talks a little bit about his reasoning on his podcast (in German): https://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/lnp563-des-kaisers-neue-kleid...
