Dropbox telemetry can't be disabled
maestral is an open source Mac/Linux client. Just one example, I’m sure there are others.

New Dropbox client moves files from –/ to –/Library
Worth mention the open source project Maestral: https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral
(an unofficial Dropbox client)

If you're archiving stuff to a cloud-synced folder, you NEED a strategy for ensuring ongoing integrity.
Sometime late last fall, my NAS rebooted and my ZFS pools didn't come back online automatically, but Docker did automatically restart the Maestral client. In so doing, it detected an empty folder...and...promptly deleted EVERYTHING in my Dropbox, assuming I'd just deleted everything locally. It's an issue that has had at least a few bug reports and which as of yet still hasn't been addressed - basically, the client needs but does not have a way to say "a bunch of stuff is changing, are you sure?" before doing it - especially on a restart of the client.

Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu
>- Debug apps which don't opt into debugging, using gdb/lldb, without disabling SIP. It's my computer, I should be root, I should be able to introspect how processes execute on it. Not being able to do so prevented me from debugging https://github.com/samschott/maestral/issues/597, since I had to disable SIP, which required rebooting, which stopped the bug from happening.
Another option is to re-sign the application with the entitlements necessary for debugging.

Dropbox Client or 3rd party client for Mac Mini M1?
there is a native build as beta, but I found Maestral much better :) https://github.com/samschott/maestral

Dropbox Sync does not natively support Apple Silicon
3) No support for extended file attributes (so you cannot sync .app bundles)

Nine Raspberry Pis power this entire office
If you still haven't found a use for them: they make for good low-power, always-on, headless networked servers for processing-light tasks.
Other commentators mentioned pihole/DNS, WireGuard, and music streaming, but you can also use them for a (slow) NFS server, persistent Syncthing node, Maestral host[1] (third-party Dropbox client written in Python (that can actually run on the Raspberry Pi, unlike the official Dropbox client)), or device that maintains a connection to a distributed network (e.g. Hyporborea/cjdns).

First new ThinkPad in awhile: An x270 I nabbed for cheap & installed my first Linux on :)
I'd been reading up on Linux for the last little bit, learning about different distros and what things to look out for - so when this thing arrived I jumped onto the latest Fedora release & am really enjoying it. I've tweaked some Gnome extensions, gotten my favorite writing app downloaded, set up the awesome Maestral open-source Dropbox client, and set up a decent little undervolt using intel-undervolt, mprime, cinebench, and glmark2 :)

Dynamouse: Mouse driver for big Mac studios
As others have mentioned, there's quite a few options, and I use mos (https://github.com/Caldis/Mos) for no particular reason. It does the same things as any of the alternatives, I just found it first and stuck with it since.

Mac Mouse Fix: Do the things you do on a trackpad. Without a trackpad
It looks like this competes with Mos.app[0]. Honestly, I'm not sure how folks use non-magic mice without this.

An Open Source Mouse and Trackpad Utility for Mac
Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos (https://mos.caldis.me) for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.

Can I adjust my mouse wheel?
I recommend MOS to fix the scrolling issue. It also adds a sexy-as-$uck smooth scrolling animation.

Weird scroll wheel behavior.
You’ll need a mouse Utility to fix it. If it’s just scrolling, MOS does the job, and when you’re not gaming, gives you such a smooth scroll, it’ll feel better than sex.
