[ALT DESC: A dark-haired young woman wearing an off-the-shoulder full evening gown of golden orange silk brocade is holding a glowing ball of green energy upon her palm. Her focus is on the circle of light, her other hand above it, almost a caress. She is standing inside a building on a warmer world, the shadows of wood or stone lattice railings and transepts beyond her. Still farther in the distance is a glimpse of soft rolling mountains, orange in the haze of twilight.]](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/20857105 "[ALT TEXT: SWORDS, MAGIC, AND HEART, Tales of Imaginary Realms, by DAVE SMEDS ]

At least 80 people are feared trapped under the rubble of their homes in the Bureij camp.
Several people are dead but the toll is expected to rise dramatically. The injured, mostly women and children, have been taken to hospital.

If you're upgrading to #macOS Sequoia today, make sure that you disable this option in the Passwords app. Passkeys are great, but *automatically* transitioning an account from "able to authenticate with any device" to "maybe only able to authenticate with an Apple device" seems like a dangerous thing to default to "on".
