Notes

gollark: It also isn't stable wrt. the star, so you'll need a way to move the ring around to keep the star in the middle.
gollark: There's no day-night cycle, which you might find unpleasant. This can be solved by having a smaller inner ring which is only half filled in and doesn't spin. You can also stick solar panels on there for free power.
gollark: You'd shove land and ecosystems and whatever onto it and then live there with several million times the land area of Earth.
gollark: However, if you spin the entire thing very fast you can generate "gravity" centrifugally.
gollark: Without anything else going on, if you stood on the inner surface you'd fall into the star.
