     Assuming web is short of word Wilde web aka the stuff in browsers where as internet is that + ftp,SSH, VoIP calls and the rest of the stuff
     
     
     Like internet is network of networks and web is a thing that internet is used for
     
     
     
     
     
     But does any of this matter in context of everyday speech? Lmao no

     Although I suspect this may be a trap... 😬😅

     Internet is a network where a ridiculous amount of computers/servers are somehow able to contact eachother for whatever purpose necessary, such as emails, file transfer, media streaming, etc

     Some of these computers will serve you "web pages" with content you can read or interact with, like news, blogs, banking, lexica, etc

     There is no strict line separating the two. The web is a part of the internet, but not necessarily the other way around.

     @kaia luanti is on the internet but not the web, irc is on the internet but not the web (there are web irc clients though), thunderbird uses the internet but not the web

     @kaia Well the internet is to mainly catch butterflies while the web not only catches butterflies but a lot of other insects like flies mosquitoes etc...

     fundamentally there's no difference

     @kaia very coarsely, web = http(s), which is a subset of the protocols used on the internet. Among the many protocols, the only one still in widespread use are mail protocols, irc, ssh and then a long of tails of old ones still barely in use and some new ones chugging along with a small but devoted community of aficionados (e.g. gemini, which has nothing to do with the AI thing)
