“If free will means anything, then it must mean our algorithm’s ability to determine our actions. Therefore free will is not only compatible with determinism, it’s absolutely dependent on determinism. If our mind’s state didn’t determine our actions, it would be then that there would be no possibility of free will.
Our ability to determine our decisions need not be deterministic. Not all algorithms are deterministic.

See two stage theories. The mind/body system has to reliably put a decision into practice once it has been made, but that doesnt imply the decision-making has to be deterministic.
