You don't really live on a Dyson sphere. It's used to harvest power from a star. You can have orbital habitats that orbit with the rest of the Dyson sphere and live on those. If you really want to live on an impractical megastructure then you want a Ringworld.
You got it, Dyson spheres don't naturally have 'gravity'. You could build habitats that orbit the sun just outside the Dyson sphere. I'm partial to O'Neill Cylinders myself, a big cigar shaped space-station that spins to provide artificial gravity. You could also make Bishop Rings which are basically tiny ringworlds that don't have the sun at the center. Alternately, genemod our dependence on gravity away and you don't even need to provide artificial gravity, we could just live in a large swarm of non-rotating artificial space stations.
The space alt-right just elected space Trump and they're building a wall around our solar system
They are going to be the spaceship from Wall-E and no help to us at all
That would be justified though.
Also, aliens can you build us a dyson sphere to live on instead?
That would solve a lot of problems and adequately encapsulate us. I know it's expensive but like... please?
If you have built dyson spheres it nbd to do another right?
if you haven't you know you wanna... you know you do. great experiment actually

What's wrong with living on a dyson sphere?
edit: no gravity and it can drift.
Dyson was proposing a swarm.
Star Trek lied to me. :(
