The all-knowing beings knows exactly what we will do, which means we can't do other than what it knows we will do.
The implication is that the all-knowing being dictates our choices through Its knowledge. But why isn't it us dictating the All-knowing being's knowledge with our choices?
If there were free will, and I chose an apple, the all-knowing being couldn't 'know' me into choosing a banana instead. Its knowledge is a solely a reaction to my future choice.
I think you can view knowing the future in a world with free will as a form of time travel. Whether that's existing outside of time, and viewing it as a totality, or somehow being magical inside it, the explanation is time being non-linear. Which is silly. But all-knowing beings and free will are already silly. Once you open the silly door, silly is on the table.
