Hiding specific hard drives (esp. Time Machine) from the Desktop

[Demigod Mac]

Traditionally I've always hidden the eyesore Time Machine drive icon from my desktop while keeping the other internal drive icons,
but Apple has removed methods for doing so since Catalina / Monterey... Does anyone have an alternative solution?

Solutions that worked in previous macOSes, but not anymore:

sudo chflags hidden /Volumes/"TimeMachine"
('no such file or directory' error)

sudo SetFile -a V /Volumes/"TimeMachine"
('File Not Found -43' error)

Nonviable solutions:

Finder > Preferences > uncheck show Hard Disks
(I want all the other drives to show on my desktop)

Unmount the drive
(I want Time Machine to always be functioning in the background)

sudo chflags hidden /Volumes/"TimeMachine"

Can you double-check the syntax there? I would have thought it should be sudo chflags hidden "/Volumes/TimeMachine".

Same result. This one I've been using for years but it stopped working after Catalina.

Did you try sudo chflags hidden and then dragging your disk to the command line, to have it auto-fill the path?

Nice, that worked! Thanks much!

It appends a 1 now:

chflags hidden /Volumes/TimeMachine\ 1
