And now I have just deleted my SoundCloud account.
I don't know if it's global, but there's a lot of artists on Mastodon doing the same, lovely!

@stefano I found the #cafe because of the #bsd. I discovered that it is a good place to be exactly because of the values you lay out in your toot. Here we feel the gentle touch, nudging at times, that any instance should wish they had. Thank you for the #tone you are promoting here.

Short noodle jam session with Hope the Player 2 Fender Jaguar. A couple chords on the higher and lower end of the register, switching the pick up options, turning the tone knob to a few positions so you all can hear some colors. Plenty more to explore. I just had my phone on the desk, by the iMac speakers. I ran this through logic with some compression and limiter to get it loud enough, orange cab sim, tiny reverb. 😎💜 #guitar #fender #jaguar #FenderJaguar #electric #jam #tone #gear #GearSquad

Rotary phones were in use long after that in Canada, and probably other places, but touch-tone was also available. In the late 80s/early 90s I still had a line that would only do pulse dialing, because touch-tone dialing was an add-on charge with the phone company where I lived.

It was a significant amount; just adding touch-tone support increased the monthly bill by almost 10%. Yes, this was a BS charge, because it was just a flag they set on your account. It didn't cost them anything to provide tone dialing. They still do the same thing with caller-ID, so I don't have it. "We don't care. We're the phone company; we don't have to."

At the time, many (perhaps most) phones you could buy had push-button dialing, but there was a switch on the phone to choose pulse or tone dialing. If you set it to pulse, you'd push the 7 button, and then you'd hear 7 clicks, etc.

So kind of "hybrid dialing".
