How to NOT autoconnect to bluetooth devices on Ubuntu
I am using a System76 laptop running Pop-OS (Ubuntu-based). It is really annoying to me that every time my computer discovers a bluetooth device that it knows about, it automatically connects whether I want it to or not. I would much prefer to manually connect to devices when I choose to. One case of this is with my Bluetooth audio adapter connected to speakers that I am likely not actually be in the same room with, or maybe I only want to pair them with my phone right now. I sometimes miss notifications because I don't know that they're coming through speakers in another room instead of from
