I personally subscribe to the MWI (Many Worlds Interpretation), and if true, this means that my actions have no control whatsoever in shaping the world I'm. Things just are, and you can't control shit. Logically and mathematically, MWI makes the most sense out of QM, but I always hope it isn't true, and continue living as if it's not.
IMO even the most indeterminisic interpretations just means that that interpretation sees the quantum world as even more unpredictable.
I can't think of any interpretation that would suggest the universe wasn't philosophically deterministic. Philosophical determinism just says that ultimately there is a cause to everything, even if we're unable to find those causes. It seems more parsimonious and makes more sense to me to say that we can no longer find any more causes, once things get very very complex on the quantum level, than to say that suddenly there's no more causes or that the whole world is ultimately acausal.
