My MacBook is basically unusable right now. This appears to be the reason. Is there any way to fix it without installing little snitch?

Edit: working as usual now, moments after i wrote this. But seriously Apple, how can you allow this to happen? Your services hanging should _never_ prevent my device from running things locally. This is seriously making me reconsider my next computer purchase.

System76 is pretty great and they have amazing customer support. Plus between ProtonDB / Lutris you can run pretty much anything you want that needed Windows before.

Given that they're using a MacBook they probably aren't using very much Windows specific software if any, so I don't know that Wine would be much of a factor.
