Strange update request

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 21.10 a few days ago and checked for updates today. After checking for updates, I got this popup. What does this popup mean?

I suggest you read the error message. It says "Software updates are no longer provided for Ubuntu 20.10. To stay secure, you should upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04." Are you 100% sure you installed Ubuntu 21.10 and not 20.10.?It looks like you installed 20.10. If you just installed, I advise downloading the Ubuntu 21.10 ISO and reinstalling it. Otherwise, or if you can't for some reason, press the big `Upgrade...` button.

Ubuntu 20.10 (the October, 2020, non-Long Term Support release) is past its End Of Life date, and is no longer supported. Upgrade to a more recent (or even LTS) release.

Note that there is no longer a supported upgrade path. Standard releases are supported for 9 months compared to LTS releases which are supported for 5 years. It may be easier and faster to reinstall a supported release. Don't wait until after your release goes EOL to upgrade. Definitely don't wait so long between package updates!!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
