You've got to be kidding me. When Apple's servers are down, all Macs worldwide start freezing randomly? My XCode is hanging during builds, is this why?

This code signing enforcement stuff has gone way too far. Heads should roll for this.

Wait what happens if you don't have an internet connection? Can Macs not be used offline any more, surely that's still a relatively common use case for a laptop even today in a lot of places?

If you are connected to a network without an Internet connection, it just becomes unusable. Internet connection is somewhat unreliable in my area, and I had an internet outage that lasted for days during the COVID lockdown. I feared it was a malware infection causing the slow down. I switched over to Linux not long after.
