I don’t have any good examples that I know of, but I am very curious. To me though, a rivalry is a rivalry when two or more of people are closely competitive. But is it really a rivalry anymore when someone has more victories over the other? I don’t think so.
Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake is a good example of “stop! stop! he’s already dead!”
A diss track that calls you out as a pedophile is the most-awarded song in Grammys history, became a theme song of the DNC, was the hit of the Superbowl. And at said Superbowl, he twisted the knife by inviting Serena Williams, someone who you stalked, to dance as a lil fuck you.
I don’t follow hip hop or much pop culture, and even I know this. I know there’s way more instances of absolute murder that haven’t bubbled up to people like me knowing. Time to wave the flag, Drake.
vim vs. emacs
It doesn’t matter if you personally like emacs more, far fewer people use it.
France and UK. UK still thinks they’re competing like the old empire days, but France basically just does not care about them/is barely aware of them.
In US college football: Washington State University vs. University of Washington. WSU cares about it a lot. UW… has bigger fish to fry.
Nvidia vs AMD.
Firefox vs Chrome Desktop GNU/Linux vs Broken Windows
We figured out all along that Firefox just wants to be like Chrome and Edge in it’s own way.
But as for marketshare, Firefox barely even got a sniff, if we’re all honest.
I would say iOS and Android.
Originally they were pretty different in terms of functionality and appearance. Android has improved a lot in terms of the user experience and UI, but also has become more locked down and user hostile. I would say that iOS has actually gotten worse in terms of bugs/reliability, and now Apple is relying on services and ads for new revenue. The user experience has suffered.
If you want a mobile phone/OS that respects user freedoms, agency and privacy, there is no consumer option. Both are filled with spyware/data collection from both the OS vendor and third party apps.
This doesn’t feel like an answer to the question. Sounds like you’re saying that Android and iOS are both now similar, not that one has been victorious over the other.
I would say it is one sided in that the user gets the same treatment/experience from either platform even though they are consider rivals and each company would argue they are different.
Bavaria - rest of germany
Bavaria thinks they are the best and crown jewl of german cultures. Rest of germany is just annoyed, swabians and franconians in bavaria are also annoyed because they always get thrown in with bavarians
