When I write run sudo apt-get update on the terminal, I get this output.

Get rid of the ppa from the sources list. https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu kinetic Release

The PPA you added does **not** provide support for *kinetic* or 22.10; PPAs are 3rd party *Personal Package Archives* which means the only security you perform as to if they're safe/helpful to your system is that you perform youself; did you check first? A quick check of what you were adding (https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) would have told you it shouldn't be added.

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.
