Was this already fixed? I just opened up Aquamacs.

#192This is horrible. How can launching apps be depending on a cloud service being available...

#193Unbelievable. When I read the tweet (tried to post here as well), I suddenly realized why my Mac was unresponsive an hour ago. Here is another tweet that describes the problem in more detail: https://mobile.twitter.com/llanga/status/1326989724704268289 > I am currently unable to work because macOS sends hashes of every opened executable to some server of theirs and when `trustd` and `syspolicyd` are unable to do so,…
I started panicking mildly thinking my drive was failing or something. And just before this, I finally managed to fix Spotlight pegging one core at 100% constantly. Next thing, I reboot into a laggy system. macOS is my favorite OS, but the shit I put up with... it's basically an abusive relationship at this point.
> macOS is my favorite OS, but
Ain't that the truth with every OS. I use Windows for gaming, PopOS for work on my desktop and MacOS for work on my laptop. The amount of weird issues is about constant.

#194We were in the final steps of a really major demo and my laptop shit a brick, I kid you not, I ate about 50 pistachios while rebooting and killing mds_stores, thinking Spotlight was losing its mind.

#195I am really curious about how people realized this was the issue. Any ideas about the thought process?

#196Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can apple not use security certificates to verify publishers ? why does it need to go to their servers ?
The URL mentioned in sibling comments suggests this has to do with certificate revocation (OCSP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Prot... I agree that breaking system availability when an OCSP server isn't available is user-hostile and unnecessary.

#197I guess the future is Linux.

#198The way trustd works has annoyed me since Catalina was released, I do hope that it's improved in Big Sur.
I get what they were trying to do with it to improve security/privacy, but the execution fell flat (as we've now witnessed).

#200This is a nightmare in so many respects. I can’t believe my ability to run software on my own machine requires successful network calls. I spent two hours today thinking my hardware was failing catastrophically.
