My position: Irrespective of whether you believe that the Universe is deterministic or probabilistic, free will (meaningful choice) is incompatible with either world view.
I maintain an open mind at all times and pride myself on rational, logical argumentation.
We have the choice to control ourselves or let go of control. Control is something very difficult to learn and also something not normally noticed by many people.
If there are things in the past, that made you mentally ill and resentful, you still have the choice to learn to control youtself.
If there is something in your DNA making your character a certain way, you still have the choice to learn to control yourself.
This is the power of will. This is the difficulty of life.
Freedom of course is another question and very subjective for everyone.
Remember that science as well as philosophies are just systems made by people to perceive the actual world as best as they can.
We have the capacity to make the choices that influence our lives, to choose our beliefs, eating habits, relationships and bigger things such as when to marry and whether to respect what other people believe. Yes society and the people around us may not accept our choices or what we do with our free will, but that doesn’t change the fact that we still have the right to choose and therefore I say yes, despite societies norms and influences we still have free will
