Comment on YSK that JetBrains IDEs do not remove old share and cache files from the previous version when upgrading. Every folder includes a local LLM, plugin executables, and old search indices. They go unused. Removing old versions freed up 14.8 GB storage for me.

This is an example of what I feel is a watering down of this YSK forum. Knowledge like this is so esoteric as to be useless to a vast majority of the people here. JetBrains develops programming tools, and this post should go into a programming forum.

I’ve found that as long as you put YSK in front of the title, you can post any damn thing you want here. There’s barely any moderation against the type of posts that are brought here. It’s just a place to put a post in a high-volume forum, so that it gets at least triple-digit upvotes.

I thought the point of this sub is to centralize life tips from all areas useful to a significant population. The second top post is about identifying ripe watermelons, which is only useful for people picking watermelons. That's a smaller population than programmers in the Fediverse.

There just aren't many universally-applicable tips out there to be bought here. When the rare ones that are incredibly nonspecific come up, such as the Lemvotes things, they are highlighted out through having on average more upvotes than the "insular ones". I would argue that disgraceful information (e.g. Kristi Noem shot a puppy, which is indeed good to know but absolutely not "tips and tricks that will help you improve your life") does far more damage to the community.
