From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Prompted by this, TIL that !chargeyourphone@piefed.social exists. 😄
Could someone explain what's going on with this comment and why its upvoted so much? It's a genuine question. What's wrong with his phone (and how do you know what he uses)?
Also, I think phone screenshots with low battery is kind of a meme of its own, so maybe they immediately looked there to check lol
at the top right of the screenshots you can see their phone is at 11%
