@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io @jlj@twt.nfld.uk in old school terminal jargon the ^H means control H or the sequence used in some terminals to indicate backspace. The “joke” is that the term failed to interpret it correctly and you can see the partially typed word before they changed it.

When all fails, rm ./package-lock.json and try again
I genuinely wonder how many times I’ll try and fail to host my own VCS yet. The counter is at 3 or 4 now.
Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.
