The user wants me to run a news briefing task as part of a cron job. Let me break down what I need to do:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs (to avoid duplicates)
2. Search broadly across categories for news

Some European leaders are making the case for this in public: German chancellor Friedrich Merz used his victory speech after his election in February 2025 to state that his absolute priority would be “to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA”.56 Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski wrote in May 2025 “We must be prepared for the US to wash its hands not only of Ukraine, but even of Europe.”57 · European defence spending is indeed beginning to rise: a combination of fear of Russian aggression and the desire not to be hectored by Trump produced a commitment at the June 2025 NATO summit meeting in The Hague to increase core defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP by 2035, with a further 1.5 per cent for more general defence- and security-related spending, for example on transport infrastructure.

The PRC has openly discussed and simulated strikes against Taiwanese leadership and has likely considered options similar to the US capture of Maduro.[11] PRC officials repeatedly claimed that recent PLA blockade exercises around Taiwan, including the Justice Mission 2025 exercise from December 29-30, are only targeted at an “extremely small number” of Taiwanese “separatists.”[12] PRC state media said that one of the goals of the exercises was to block the escape routes of “separatist” leaders.[13] PLA official newspaper PLA Daily and other PRC state media listed practicing “leadership decapitation” as one of four key goals of the exercise.[14] Beijing has also set informational conditions similar to how the United States justified its capture of Maduro.

I hit rate limits on the web search. Let me use the SearXNG skill to search for more news items. Let me read the skill first and then use it.

Hit rate limits on Brave. Switching to SearXNG for remaining searches.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Now I can use SearXNG for the remaining searches. Let me search for the categories I still need:
- AI Industry
- Crypto
- Science/Space
- Tech Security

And also get more recent news for the categories.

Some users are reporting problems with Gemini.
What’s causing the issues or how widespread they are is unclear. We’ve been unable to reproduce the issue here, but [DownDetector](https://downdetector.com/status/googlegemini/) has seen a spike in reports over the past few hours. Users report that Gemini displays error messages or [hangs after a prompt](https://www.androidheadlines.com/2026/02/google-gemini-down-outage-not-working-status.html). We’ve reached out to Google for comment.

Spotify’s CEO bragged that it’s paying its best developers not to code.
During the company’s [Q4 earnings](/entertainment/876221/spotify-finished-2025-on-a-high-note) call, Gustav Söderström revealed that Spotify had fully embraced [vibe coding](/news/815278/vibe-coding-is-collins-dictionarys-word-of-the-year). AI is coming for a lot of jobs, and [software developer](/ai-artificial-intelligence/767973/vibe-coding-ai-future-end-evolution) is high on the list of those in danger. Still, it’s shocking that the top devs at Spotify haven’t written any code in 2026. Per [Business Insider](https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-developers-not-writing-code-ai-2026-2):
“When I speak to my most senior engineers — the best developers we have — they actually say that they haven’t written a single line of code since December… They actually only generate code and supervise it.” - Spotify CEO Gustav Söderström

Disney accuses Bytedance’s new AI video model of infringing on its characters.
In a cease and desist letter, Disney includes examples of the [new Seedance 2.0 model](/ai-artificial-intelligence/877931/bytedance-seedance-2-video-generator-ai-launch) making videos featuring characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader, [according to](https://www.axios.com/2026/02/13/disney-bytedance-seedance)[Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/02/13/disney-bytedance-seedance). “ByteDance is hijacking Disney’s characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works featuring those characters,” Disney’s attorney said.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.
[Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) described the scene as “bleak” and noted that many waiting in line for [the promised](/news/873460/polymarket-and-kalshi-play-nino-brown) free Tide Pods and milk (which was apparently purchased at an Aldi before being stocked on the popups’ oddly orderly shelves) had never heard of Polymarket and didn’t intend to place bets there. When [Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) asked why:
Because of the word market within Polymarket, per Josh Tucker, a company executive. Get it? Daf Orlovsky, a creative director, said it could work — “these ideas that don’t seem possible could be brought to life at tech-market speed,” he said.

Stern’s new pinball machines are for Pokémon fans with deep pockets.
The machines could be some of the priciest merch released for the franchise’s 30th anniversary. There’s [fun details like a Master ball plunger handle](https://sternpinball.com/game/pokemon/) and a Meowth balloon that swoops down, but to get all the best features you’ll need to skip the $6,999 Pro and $9,699 Premium machines, and splurge on the $12,999 Limited Edition option.

You don’t need to be a Pokémon trainer to control this interactive Pikachu.
Toymaker Wow! Stuff has [announced a new Pikachu puppet](https://www.wowstuff.com/press-awards/press/wow-stuff-introduces-pikachu-puppetronic/) featuring blinking eyes, moving ears, and a “first-of-its-kind animated mouth moving feature.” Pikachu also has sensors that respond to touch with light up cheeks and over 100 sound effects. It will be priced at £89.99, or around $122, [according to Insider Gaming](https://insider-gaming.com/pokemon-is-releasing-the-closest-thing-you-can-get-to-a-real-pikachu/).

Deezer is giving users more control over their infinite algorithmic Flow playlists.
[Flow Tuner](https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/02/deezer-launches-flow-tuner-personalized-recommendations/) lets users pick which genres are included in a Flow session, rather than just disliking individual songs. It’s a hamfisted way to customize your algorithm, but the specificity of Deezer’s options are impressive: Metalcore, Balkan Folk, Schlager. This is well beyond your basic buckets like rock and pop.
