Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare" in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know if there are zero Renault in the US but Mozilla themselves say that Renault aren't sold in the US:

While Renault cars haven't been sold in the US since 1992, their cars are big in Europe, South and Central America.

So it is kind of strange to hold it against them. On the other hand that doesn't seem to be too important because nobody cares about what they signed or not.

Thank you for that link and Thank you to Mozilla for doing those tests. I always suspected something like this but it is good to have it tested and in writing.

My only gripe with the article is this:

All of the car brands on this list except for Tesla, Renault, and Dacia signed on to a list of Consumer Protection Principles from the US automotive industry group ALLIANCE FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION, INC.

Renault and Dacia aren't available in the US, so there is really no need for them to sign those principles. Which makes Tesla the only one where this is relevant.

Help with wget: linked files in different folder (lemmy.world)
 

I need help with wget and I hope to find it here. My goal ist to mirror a site (the soon to be replaced website at work) and I tried to do so with wget. I am totally able to mirror the pages and filter out the unwanted file types.

My problem is this: on several pages (e.g. /internal/forms) there are linked files like this /files/12345/form1.docx. So wget doesn't save the file in the folder internal/forms but creates a new folder files/12345.

I understand why this happens but I really need the file in internal/forms and I can't find a solution - is there any way to achieve that? Thank you so much for your help!
