When machines try to do my thinking for me, stuff always gets messed up.

So here is a sample of the "mount points"* that have been bestowed upon
me, against my will, by some higher, non-human intelligence:
/media/Elements_25A1
/media/External_HDD____
/media/Mass_Storage_Device
/media/My_Book_________
/media/<pete>
/media/<user>
/media/USB_Storage
* Note that names in brackets (< >) have been changed to protect the
innocent;
they are not my real mount points.
I always create my own unique names for mount points; names like Pete and
Fred These
developments are all new, since my installation of beowulf/buster;
I never had anything like this is jessie or before, never even with the
old KDE3. It reminds me of those *other* DEs or OSs that I try so hard to
avoid.
Somebody please make sense of these developing disasters.
Bill
