Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.

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

You should never, ever, install a MacOS update the moment it comes out. There is a high chance (> 30% from my experience) that something will be wrong with it. iOS too for that matter. Wait for at least one week and check out other people's experiences first.

I ran the beta over the summer and it was awful. I loved the changes but it was just unstable as hell. And people kept saying it was the most stable is yet, I don’t get it.

It's not, per se. The apps will launch if you block the specific subdomain, or turn off internet. The problem is if the computer thinks it can connect and keeps trying.

Both my Hackintosh and MBAir are on Catalina and have been freezing repeatedly for the last hour. Definitely is effecting Catalina.
