An analysis of trends over the last 20 years in Canada could not find any correlation between increases in municipal police budgets and a reduction in crime rates. There’s another way forward.

Last week's flooding in Toronto shows we need our governments to act decisively to address the climate crisis — and make Big Oil clean up the mess they made.
I use wired earbuds. Last week, I started noticing issues with my current pair on my android phone. The first issue was that the audio would disconnect if the headphones cord going into the jack was slightly moved. The issue seemed to progress, whereby audio disconnects happened more commonly. Eventually, the headphone issue started changing tracks in Tidal (the headphones do not have a next track button) all by itself and launching the google music app and playing songs in it.
I assumed my earbuds were at fault, but the same earbuds perform fine in my laptop and other earbuds experience the same issue in my phone.
Restarting the phone temporarily removes this issue, but it seems to start up again the longer the phone is on.
Has anyone else experience this? Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this? Did an update get pushed to my phone that's intended to brick earbuds?
Edit: Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions and comments ☺️!
I recently migrated to Librewolf from Firefox due to Mozilla's recent blunder of covertly adding adware to their browser.
I like the ResistFingerprinting feature for added privacy, but enabling it seems to set my browser time to GMT instead of ET, with most times on webpages (which refer to browser time) ahead by several hours as a result.
Can I define my desired timezone in the browser settings so I don't have to pick one or the other between a correct browser time and better privacy? TIA :D!
