Make sure your Smart Playlist does not reference any other playlists. It seems like the Developers want to prevent too much processing of rules (or something) of playlists based another playlists. If necessary use the Comments field to arrive at the result you are aiming at. If they are syncing at all you are doing well.
I made a smart playlist with only the year field (i.e songs from 2021), and it sync fine, but it is sorted by artist on my iPhone and not by album which I updated in Music.
Yeah, the albums are in the correct order, but tracks in the albums are reversed. To be fair, this isn't a Big Sur issue.

I haven’t been able to, it gives me errors.Where is it storing this data? Can you use terminal to make that folder read only?

How to fix Apple News download bug on macOS Big Sur - 9to5Mac
This guide with screenshots take a look at how to fix the Apple News download bug in macOS Big Sur that's causing massive background activity.
Perhaps Little Snitch can block apple news traffic.
It’s crazy that apple would do this and now allow the app to be removed. It was so simple in other previous Mac OS versions
Sorry for your troubles, but that convinced me never to install it on my Mac or iPhone for that matter. I can curate my own news.
Yeh it’s gotten to the point where, I will deal with it with next Mac OS 12 or something.
On the iPhone I don’t have the issues, it’s only macOS that locks the stock app. So if you want to enjoy it on your iPhone it will be fine
When I get home later I’ll take a look again, it tells me exactly when I drag into app cleaner to clear the cache which it does and tells me where the news.app sits also.
Interesting 🧐 idea. Snitch works great now? Herd it had some issues before
You can download a free trial, just try for yourself.
Honest question. How often does your mouse battery deplete to where topping it off once a month isn't enough? My BT mouse uses one AA battery that's been in there for over a year without needing to be replaced.
Mine is doing the exact same thing on all BT devices, mouse, trackpad, and keyboard. It never did this before but started an upgrade or two ago. Not that big a deal but really annoying. (2019 16" MBP)
I've been using Little Snitch for years and have never had any issues. On Big Sur there was an issue initially where Apple locked out it's own processes from being monitored, but that was addressed in 11.2 or something? An earlier release. Little Snitch acknowledged this in one of their release update's notes.

My magic mouse is the one with a rechargeable battery requiring a wired connection that prevent you to use the mouse while it is recharging. Knowing the battery level during your work tells you if you have to plan a recharge as soon as you leave your computer... No pb with the older model and its pair of AA batteries in case of dead batteries.
My point was that you don't need to use it when you are sleeping. can't you just plug it in once a month (or once a week) and be guaranteed that its always charged?
