Emmanuele Bassi
Emmanuele Bassi, known by his username ebassi, and pejoratively referred to as ebussy, is a GNOME developer that is known on /g/ for having controversial takes on development decisions.
Blurry text issue
On March 25th 2021, a user opened an an issue on the GTK repo on GNOME's GitLab about text being blurry in GTK4. Matthias Clasen closed the issue, saying it is not a bug, and not a regression, but simply a change on font rendering. Jonathan Moerman disagreed with Clasen, stating that it being a change in font rendering doesn't mean it isn't a regression, and that with sharpness as a metric, the new font rendering is definitely worse. This sparked the infamous comment by Bassi; "What makes you think that sharpness is a metric?"
The issue was subsequently posted to /g/, where Bassi was mocked for his ridiculous comment, which completely ignores the fact that the user experience is degraded by the blurry text.
