Unbelievable. 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:

> 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, the entire operating system grinds to a halt.

EDIT:

As others pointed out, I put this to my `/etc/hosts` file and refreshed it like so:

    sudo emacs /etc/hosts # add `0.0.0.0 ocsp.apple.com` 
    sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder # refresh hosts

Found another reason for me to not get a Mac

You can't go wrong with a ThinkPad. I switched from Mac to a T480 with Arch for dev work and it's been great.

If they brought back taller displays I’d be right there with you.

I'm running a bunch of ThinkPads with Fedora & all works fine (and worked fine for years).

We’re running Thinkpads at work with fedora and they really don’t.

Another poster mentioned the Huawei Matebook Pro has a 3:2 screen. I'm now looking into getting one for that reason alone.

Very true. Run FreeBSD and OpenBSD on Thinkpads at home and work and life's a peach...

Hibernation. External monitor support is buggy. Pulseaudio is buggy with external microphone. IR camera face login isn't supported. Fingerprint scanner isn't working properly at login after sleep. Sound from internal audio is much worse than was on Windows. No app I know of can reliably share screen on Wayland.
