Yeah and “change ownership” can be subtle, like a compromised account, so there’s no changes to monitor apart from an update (and you expect updates regularly anyway).
I do think the linux philosophy of “do one thing and do it well” can help a lot, especially when paired with restrictive permissions. But when everything and their dog is integrating LLMs, that alone is already becoming harder.
In open source you could inspect every update (and probably some people do), but unless you’re an above average programmer you probably won’t understand everything, let alone catch hidden backdoors. And then there’re supply chain attacks that don’t change the source code but do change the compiled version so good luck checking that out manually each time unless you always build from scratch.

What does anatomically correct mean here? Should I switch to my alt account before searching?

Many games with voices also support subtitles, personally I learned most of my English from my parents watching English tv with subs (in our language at first, then when I was a little older English subs)

What do they censor for instance? I don’t recall seeing nudity, swear words or over the top violence in previous seasons?

I have the opposite experience, went to London a while ago and kept noticing most people keep left instead of right like I’m used to.

Which is equally insane, no?

So for reference:
Spell focus gives +1 to save DC for the chosen school, in this case illusion. Looking at the spells listed under illusion school and filtering on those useful in combat we have:
- lv 1: color spray: unconscious, blinded and stunned, will save negates (similarly hypnotic pattern and their higher level variants are all great crowd control spells)
- lv 4: phantasmal killer: will disbelief, then fortitude or die (3d6 on successfull save)
- the series of www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Shadow_Evocation and shadow conjuration and all similar spells are pretty good too, they allow you to cast any other evocation/conjuration spell of lower level, at the cost of an extra potential will save to disbelieve (but also at the DC of the shadow spell, which is higher level) (insert “mom says we have heighten spell at home” meme)
And that’s just at first sight a couple good ones.
Sure, you won’t be throwing around +1 save dc fireballs with this (except shadow evocation gives you heightened fireballs, at the cost of an extra will save), but CC is often more useful than direct damage. Especially out of combat (depends on what you mean with “roleplaying aside”), there’s lots of good options: hiding behind a silent image is a cheap mass invisibility spell, or distracting guards with ghost sound for sneaky infiltration.
Good luck!
