Features
Automatically plays the iconic meme when a saved file has diagnostics severity Error or when a debug session terminates with problems.
-- Debounces rapid error bursts so you hear just one faaaaaaa per blunder.
-- Adds a custom status bar button that shows the original logo in the tooltip when hovered and opens the extension settings when clicked.
-- Bundles media/faaaaaa.mp3 as the default and allows you to override it with any absolute or workspace MP3, including your own meme mashups.
Default volume is intentionally set to 90 to make the meme loud and proud.
