[ERR_REQUIRE_ESM] ESLint linting fails

[edbingo]

When running eslint on index ts, following output is generated

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 8.45.0

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/edward/git/thingweb-playground/packages/validator/.eslintrc.js from /usr/lib/node_modules/eslint/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/dist/eslintrc.cjs not supported.
Instead change the require of .eslintrc.js in /usr/lib/node_modules/eslint/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/dist/eslintrc.cjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
