Title

Use Cloud Sources Sufficiently

Description

Use cloud services only when necessary to maintain functionality or collaboration, and avoid overuse. Instead of relying on the cloud as the default for all operations, the idea is to critically evaluate whether local alternatives or delayed synchronization could fulfill the same function with lower environmental or cognitive cost.
