Way to block update notification for Tahoe permanently?

[flyproductions]

Yes i really want to stay with Monterey! Even if Apple does not want me to.

So is there still a way to get permanently rid of this annoying update notifications and badges on the settings-icon?

All the old methods / terminal commands seem not to work anymore.

Even blocking softwareupdated with Little Snitch does not:
"This rule is ineffective because the process it refers to has been deleted or moved."

Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated. Any discussion concerning the value of updating in general is not!

Thanks in advance!

People have claimed that refusing the Software License Agreement gets rid of the badge https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/remove-system-settings-update-badge.2404855/post-33021866
It never worked when I tried.

If you have SIP disabled, you can disable the SoftwareUpdate notification process from running https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/i-keep-getting-this-message.2433445/post-33348055

These terminal commands should prevent the notification from appearing. No need to mess with SIP.

defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate UserNotificationDate -date "2035-01-01 00:00:00 +0000"
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate MajorOSUserNotificationDate -date "2035-01-01 00:00:00 +0000"

This basically is where macOS stores the date of the last update notification that it gave you. It waits a period of time before popping another one. If you put that date way out into the future, you'll be waiting a long time before seeing another notification.

(This doesn't address the Settings icon badge. I just don't keep Settings on my dock, so I rarely see it. You can access Settings easily from the Apple menu in the top left.)

This thread has more information on ways to block the update and update notifications.
