Ask HN: Ubuntu 24.04 now force-automounts any plugged-in MMC card or USB key

Started with recent update: Auto-mount to /media/$USER/LABEL, and startup of the GNOME Files tray-widget.

The old recipe for disabling no longer works:

  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false

  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false

Anyone know the workaround? Searching the GNOME menus turned up nothing. ChatGPT suggests debugging step -- very long.
