Translations in languages other than English are machine translated and are not yet accurate. No errors have been fixed yet as of March 21st 2021. Please report translation errors here. Make sure to backup your correction with sources and guide me, as I don't know languages other than English well (I plan on getting a translator eventually) please cite wiktionary and other sources in your report. Failing to do so will result in a rejection of the correction being published.

Note: due to limitations with GitHub's interpretation of markdown (and pretty much every other web-based interpretation of markdown) clicking these links will redirect you to a separate file on a separate page that isn't the intended page. You will be redirected to the .github folder of this project, where the README translations are hosted.

Translations are currently done with Bing translate and DeepL. Support for Google Translate translations is coming to a close due to privacy concerns.

About

See above. Bosky is a modern day Boss Key software suite that lets you quickly switch from a game back to your work. Extra features include optional, encrypted facial recognition (which deletes automatically after 7 days by default)

You can use 3 keys as the boss key, either INSERT DELETE or SUPER (Known as the Windows key on Windows NT/Windows 9x operating systems)

Software status

All of my works are free some restrictions. DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) is not present in any of my works.

DRM-free_label.en.svg

This sticker is supported by the Free Software Foundation. I never intend to include DRM in my works.

I am using the abbreviation "Digital Restrictions Management" instead of the more known "Digital Rights Management" as the common way of addressing it is false, there are no rights with DRM. The spelling "Digital Restrictions Management" is more accurate, and is supported by Richard M. Stallman (RMS) and the Free Software Foundation (FSF)

This section is used to raise awareness for the problems with DRM, and also to protest it. DRM is defective by design and is a major threat to all computer users and software freedom.

Codename

BRingKERing (BossRing KEyRing)

The project was renamed Bosky (lit: shrub) as the original name was overly complicated. I underwent several considerations, such as Gal Capone (but I decided not to, as I don't want to name it after a murderer (Al Capone) even if that murderer is one of the most famous mob bosses in history to date) and Boss Keyring. The name was simplified to bosky, and the 3rd name was transferred to the codename position.


When activated

Minimize current active window with no animation

Play video until it is over, or until the set key is pressed again

Option to loop video indefinitely (loop x times, loop indefinitely (until boss key is pressed again))

Setup options

Detect operating system

Record video of you working for 30-300 seconds (30 seconds to 5 minutes)

Export video (export as MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV, AVI, NetV, 3GP, WMV, other)

Use video (select a video to use for the boss key sequence)

Boss detect

(requires facial recognition)

Images of your face will be stored in the program only and will not have access to an Internet or bluetooth connection, and will be heavily encrypted with 1024 bit encryption (or higher). It will be deleted automatically after 7 days, unless you choose to keep it enabled.

Detects your face. If any other face is seen looking towards you, the boss key will automatically activate

Con1: If your boss gets the ridiculous idea of putting a wallpaper of faces/eyes behind you, you will not be able to use this feature, as it will just not work.

Con2: It may not work if you are wearing a mask or anything else covering your face

Delete options: (delete after restart/shutdown, delete after x days, don't delete automatically)

Recommendations

Do not install on a work computer without permission. If you can't get permission, you likely shouldn't be using it to begin with.

Install on your own device that you bring with you.

You deserve to take an unexpected break sometimes, even if your boss doesn't want you to.

Try to still be productive though. The Boss key software is not intended for you to take all of your work time away.

Programming languages

C (for the general sequences) Python (for boss key activation) C++ (for video exporting)

I want to diversify language usage, so it is going to be written in 3 separate languages.


Icon

I figure an icon of a shrub is the best icon for this project. For now, the placeholder icon is the shrub from Clash of Clans, which was the first thing to come to mind when I heard the word shrub on 2021 November 9th. I plan to change it to a green key with a green padlock (with leafy textures) in the future.
