Description

I am getting the following error when starting up my Intel Mac running Big Sur 11.7.10.
```
We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM.

Please run `keybase log send` to report the error.
```
My Log ID is: `85cf2e9c2938299ed0c5f31c`

Please help me fix this.
