Without being able to see the two global addresses, it looks like one’s much shorter than the other and they both have the dynamic flag, so my guess is one is from DHCPv6 and the other is SLAAC.
Huh. I searched around for a bit, and there are some articles that call link-local address assignment SLAAC with no mention of global address SLAAC. Wikipedia in particular does this, and it seems maybe they’re calling the global address configuration NDP? I don’t care either way, I was just confused seeing some articles saying that, and some saying what you’re saying.

So they’re possibly something like:
The
fe80link local address is it’s own thing. Every IPv6 interface gets one and they’re only valid on that network.Doesn’t SLAAC give the link-local address?
No. SLAAC is where you listen for a router advertisement and generate an address based on that. Link local addresses don’t need RAs.
